Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Business Combination Agreement and Plan of Reorganization

On June 15, 2021, Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Corporation III, a Delaware corporation (“DCRC”), DCRC Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of DCRC (“Merger Sub”), and Solid Power, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the “Company”), entered into a business combination agreement and plan of reorganization (the “Business Combination Agreement”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger,” together with the other transactions related thereto, the “Proposed Transactions”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of DCRC (the “Surviving Corporation”).

Conversion of Securities

The Company will cause each share of the Company’s preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, designated as Series A-1 Preferred Stock in the Company’s Fourth Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company, dated April 30, 2021 (the “Company Charter”) (the “Series A-1 Preferred Stock”) and the Company’s preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, designated as Series B Preferred Stock in the Company Charter (the “Series B Preferred Stock,” and together with the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the “Company Preferred Stock”) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) to be automatically converted, effective immediately prior to the Effective Time, into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Company Common Stock”), at the then effective conversion rate as calculated pursuant to the Company Charter (the “Conversion”). After the Conversion, such converted shares of Company Preferred Stock will no longer be outstanding and will cease to exist.

At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of DCRC, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any of the Company’s securities:

(a)

Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (including shares of Company Common Stock resulting from the Conversion, but excluding Company Restricted Stock (as defined below) and excluding any Dissenting Shares (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement)) will be canceled and converted into the right to receive the number of shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of DCRC, which shall be re-designated as “common stock, par value $0.0001 per share” in the DCRC Charter (as defined below) (“DCRC Class A Common Stock”), equal to the Exchange Ratio. The “Exchange Ratio” means the following ratio: the quotient obtained by dividing the Company Merger Shares by the Company Outstanding Shares. The “Company Merger Shares” means 123,900,000. The “Company Outstanding Shares” means the sum of (without duplication) (i) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, expressed on a fully-diluted and as-converted to Company Common Stock basis, and including, for the avoidance of doubt, the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable in the Conversion, plus (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon the net exercise of Company Options (as defined below) that are vested, unexpired, issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, assuming that the fair market value of shares of Company Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Company Options equals (x) the Exchange Ratio multiplied by (y) $10.00, plus (iii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon the net exercise of Company Warrants (as defined below) that are unexpired, issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, assuming the fair market value of shares of Company Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Company Warrants equals (x) the Exchange Ratio multiplied by (y) $10.00, provided, that the Company Outstanding Shares excludes any unvested Company Options, certain promised and unissued Company Options and the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to awards for Company Restricted Stock;

(b)

Each share of Company Common Stock held in treasury of the Company will be canceled without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution will be made with respect to such Company Common Stock;

(c)

Each share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation;

(d)

Each warrant to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (the “Company Warrants”) outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time will automatically be converted into a warrant (each such resulting warrant, an “Assumed Warrant”) to acquire a number of shares of DCRC Class A Common Stock equal to (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the applicable Company Warrant multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of DCRC Class A Common Stock, at an adjusted price equal to (x) the per share exercise price for the shares of Company Common Stock subject to the applicable Company Warrant, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent;

(e)

Each option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (“Company Option”), whether or not exercisable and whether or not vested, outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into an option (each such resulting option, an “Exchanged Option”) to purchase a number of shares of DCRC Class A Common Stock equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time and (y) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (A) the exercise price per share of such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio; and

(f)

Each award of unvested restricted shares of Company Common Stock (“Company Restricted Stock”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be released and extinguished in exchange for an award covering an number of restricted shares of DCRC Class A Common Stock (such award of restricted stock, “Exchanged Restricted Stock”) equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such award of Company Restricted Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time and (y) the Exchange Ratio.

Registration Statement; Proxy Statement

As promptly as practicable after the date of the Business Combination Agreement, DCRC will prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement on Form S-4 (together with the prospectus forming a part thereof and any amendments thereto, the “Registration Statement”) in connection with providing the stockholders of DCRC (the “DCRC Stockholders”) with the opportunity to exercise the redemption rights provided for in the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of DCRC (the “DCRC Charter”) and the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of all the shares of DCRC Class A Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, which will include a proxy statement in preliminary form (as amended or supplemented, the “Proxy Statement”), relating to the meeting of the DCRC Stockholders (the “DCRC Stockholders’ Meeting”), to be held to consider (i) approval and adoption of the Business Combination Agreement, the Merger and the Proposed Transactions, (ii) approval of the issuance of DCRC Class A Common Stock as contemplated by the Subscription Agreements (as defined below) in accordance with the rules and regulations of the NASDAQ Capital Market (“NASDAQ”), (iii) approval of the second amended and restated certificate of incorporation of DCRC, (iv) the election of certain individuals as were mutually agreed by the parties, to the board of directors of DCRC, (v) approval and adoption of a customary equity incentive plan and employee stock purchase plan and (vi) any other proposals that either party reasonably requests to effectuate the Merger and the Proposed Transactions (collectively, the “DCRC Proposals”).

Stock Exchange Listing

DCRC will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of DCRC Class A Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Proposed Transactions to be approved for listing on NASDAQ at the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”). Until the Closing, DCRC will use its reasonable best efforts to keep the DCRC Class A Common Stock, units and warrants listed for trading on the NASDAQ.

Other Covenants

The Business Combination Agreement contains certain other covenants of the parties, including, among others, covenants requiring that (a) the parties will conduct their respective businesses in the ordinary course through the consummation of the Merger, and (b) DCRC and the Company will (x) not solicit or negotiate with third parties regarding alternative transactions and will comply with certain related restrictions and (y) cease discussions regarding alternative transactions.

Representations and Warranties

The Business Combination Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties thereto relating to, among other things, their (a) organization and structure, (b) ability to enter into the Business Combination Agreement, (c) outstanding capitalization and (d) compliance with laws.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the Closing, that certain Registration Rights Agreement dated March 23, 2021 (the “IPO Registration Rights Agreement”) will be amended and restated and DCRC, certain persons and entities holding securities of DCRC prior to the Closing (the “Initial Holders”) and certain persons and entities receiving DCRC Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Merger (the “New Holders” and together with the Initial Holders, the “Reg Rights Holders”) will enter into that amended and restated IPO Registration Rights Agreement attached as an exhibit to the Business Combination Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, DCRC will agree that, within 30 days after the Closing, DCRC will file with the SEC (at DCRC’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of certain securities held by or issuable to the Reg Rights Holders (the “Resale Registration Statement”), and DCRC will use its reasonable best efforts to have the Resale Registration Statement declared effective as promptly as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof. In certain circumstances, the Reg Rights Holders can demand the Company’s assistance with underwritten offerings and block trades, and the Reg Rights Holders will be entitled to certain piggyback registration rights.

The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit A to the Business Combination Agreement, filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated herein by reference.

By mutual written consent of DCRC and the Company;

(b)

By DCRC or the Company, if (i) the Effective Time will not have occurred prior to the date that is 180 days after the date of the Business Combination Agreement (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that the Business Combination Agreement may not be terminated by or on behalf of any party that either directly or indirectly through its affiliates is in breach or violation of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation contained therein and such breach or violation is the principal cause of the failure of a condition to the Merger on or prior to the Outside Date, and, if on the Outside Date certain conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement are not satisfied, but all the other conditions to Closing have been satisfied, (other than those conditions that by their nature cannot be satisfied until the Closing Date), then the Outside Date will be deemed automatically extended without further action until three (3) months after the Outside Date, (ii) any governmental authority in the United States has enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any injunction, order, decree or ruling (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent), which has become final and nonappealable and has the effect of making consummation of the Proposed Transactions illegal or otherwise preventing or prohibiting consummation of the Proposed Transactions, including the Merger, (iii) any of the DCRC Proposals fail to receive the requisite vote for approval at the DCRC Stockholders’ Meeting or (iv) in the event of a breach by the other party of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement which (a) would give rise to the failure of a closing condition, if it was continuing on the Closing Date, and (b) to the extent such breach is curable, has not been cured within 15 days after notice of such breach is provided by the breaching party to the non-breaching party; or

(c)

By DCRC, if the Company has failed to deliver the Written Consent to DCRC within five business day of the Registration Statement becoming effective.

Effect of Termination

If the Business Combination Agreement is terminated, the agreement will forthwith become void, and there will be no liability under the Business Combination Agreement on the part of any party hereto, except as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement or in the case of termination subsequent to a willful and material breach of the Business Combination Agreement for the party thereto that committed such breach.

A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Business Combination Agreement filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Business Combination Agreement is included to provide security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about DCRC, the Company or the other parties thereto. In particular, the assertions embodied in representations and warranties by DCRC, the Company and Merger Sub contained in the Business Combination Agreement are qualified by information in the disclosure schedules provided by the parties in connection with the signing of the Business Combination Agreement. These disclosure schedules contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. Moreover, certain representations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement were used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties, rather than establishing matters as facts. Accordingly, security holders should not rely on the representations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement as characterizations of the actual state of facts about DCRC, the Company or Merger Sub.

Stockholder Support Agreement

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, on June 15, 2021, DCRC and certain stockholders of the Company entered into a Stockholder Support Agreement (the “Stockholder Support Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, such stockholders agreed to vote all of their shares of Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock in favor of the approval and adoption of the Proposed Transactions, including agreeing to execute the Written Consent within five business days of the Registration Statement becoming effective. Additionally, such stockholders have agreed, among other things, not to, prior to the Effective Time, (a) transfer any of their shares of Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock (or enter into any arrangement with respect thereto), subject to certain customary exceptions, or (b) enter into any voting arrangement that is inconsistent with the Stockholder Support Agreement.

Such stockholders and certain other stockholders also agreed not transfer any of their shares of DCRC Class A Common Stock received in the Merger, or upon exercise of Assumed Warrants, Exchanged Options or Exchanged Restricted Stock received in the Merger, for a period of the shorter of (i) six months following the Closing and (ii) the termination, expiration or waiver of the lock-up period covering the Sponsor’s DCRC Class A Common Stock, subject to certain customary exceptions. Such restrictions on transfer will be set forth in the bylaws DCRC will adopt in connection with Closing, which will apply to all investors of the Company that receive securities of DCRC in connection with Merger; provided, however, the Company agreed in the Stockholder Support Agreement that any waiver or termination of such lock-up period with respect to the DCRC Class A Common Stock held by BMW Holding B.V., Ford Motor Company, Volta Energy Storage Fund I, LP, Volta SPV SPW, LLC, Volta SPW Co-Investment, LP or any of their respective affiliates (the “Covered Group”) shall be deemed to be a proportional waiver or termination of the lock-up period with respect to the DCRC Class A Common Stock owned by the other members of the Covered Group.

The foregoing description of the Stockholder Support Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Stockholder Support Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. Furthermore, the foregoing description of the bylaws that DCRC will adopt in connection with Closing is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of such bylaws, a copy of which is included as Exhibit H to the Business Combination Agreement, filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated herein by reference.

Sponsor Letter

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, on June 15, 2021, the Sponsor and certain directors of DCRC entered into a letter agreement with the Company and DCRC (the “Sponsor Letter”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Sponsor such directors agreed to (i) waive the anti-dilution rights set forth in the DCRC Charter with respect to shares of DCRC’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share

(the “Founder Shares”), held by them, (ii) comply with the lock-up provisions in the Letter Agreement, dated March 23, 2021, by and among DCRC, the Sponsor and DCRC’s directors and officers and (iii) vote all the shares of DCRC Class A Common Stock and Founder Shares held by them in favor of the adoption and approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination.

The foregoing description of the Sponsor Letter is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Sponsor Letter, which is included as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.02.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, on June 15, 2021, DCRC and the Company entered into separate subscription agreements (collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”) with a number of investors (collectively, the “Subscribers”), pursuant to which the Subscribers agreed to purchase, and DCRC agreed to sell to the Subscribers, an aggregate of 16,500,000 shares of DCRC Class A Common Stock (the “PIPE Shares”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $165,000,000, in a private placement (the “PIPE”).

The closing of the sale of the PIPE Shares pursuant to the Subscription Agreements is contingent upon, among other customary closing conditions, the concurrent consummation of the Proposed Transactions. The purpose of the PIPE is to raise additional capital for use by the combined company following the Closing.

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, DCRC agreed that, within 30 calendar days after the Closing Date, DCRC will file with the SEC (at DCRC’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the PIPE Shares (the “PIPE Resale Registration Statement”), and DCRC will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the PIPE Resale Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof.

The offering of the securities of DCRC that may be issued in connection with the Subscription Agreements has not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

The foregoing description of the Subscription Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of the Subscription Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 7.01.

A copy of the press release, which includes information regarding participation in the Conference Call, is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference. Such exhibit and the information set forth therein will not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise be subject to the liabilities of that section, nor will it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

This communication does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or constitute a solicitation of any vote or approval.

In connection with the Proposed Transaction, DCRC will file the Registration Statement with the SEC, which will include a proxy statement/prospectus of DCRC. DCRC also plans to file other relevant materials with the SEC in connection with the Proposed Transactions. Copies may be obtained free of charge at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov. Security holders of DCRC are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus and the other relevant materials when they become available before making any voting decision with respect to the Proposed Transactions because they will contain important information about the Proposed Transactions and the parties thereto.

This Current Report on Form 8-K includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. All statements, other than statements of present or historical fact included in this Current Report on Form 8-K, regarding DCRC’s proposed acquisition of the Company and DCRC’s ability to consummate the transaction, are forward-looking statements. When used in this Form 8-K, the words “could,” “should,” “will,” “may,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” the negative of such terms and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words.

DCRC and the Company caution you that these forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of either DCRC or the Company. In addition, DCRC cautions you that the forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K are subject to the following factors: (i) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could delay the Proposed Transactions or give rise to the termination of the agreements related thereto, (ii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against DCRC or the Company following announcement of the transactions, (iii) the inability to complete the Proposed Transactions due to the failure to obtain approval of the DCRC Stockholders, or other conditions to closing in the Business Combination Agreement, (iv) the risk that the Proposed Transactions disrupts DCRC’s or the Company’s current plans and operations as a result of the announcement of the Proposed Transactions, (v) the Company’s ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Transactions, which may be affected by, among other things, competition and the ability of the Company to grow and manage growth profitably following the Proposed Transactions, (vi) costs related to the Proposed Transactions, (vii) changes in applicable laws or regulations, (viii) rollout of the Company’s business and the timing of expected business milestones, (ix) the effects of competition on the Company’s business, (x) supply shortages in the materials necessary for the production of the Company’s products, (xi) risks related to original equipment manufacturers and other partners being unable or unwilling to initiate or continue business partnerships on favorable terms, (xii) the termination or reduction of government clean energy and electric vehicle incentives, (xiii) delays in the construction and operation of production facilities, (xiv) the amount of redemption requests made by the DCRC Stockholders, (xv) changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions, and (xvi) the possibility that the Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors. Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described in this Current Report on Form 8-K, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results and plans could different materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.

Except as specifically provided above, following the Effective Time, each award of Exchanged Restricted Stock shall continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including vesting and repurchase terms) as were applicable to the corresponding award of Company Restricted Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time, except to the extent such terms or conditions are rendered inoperative by the Merger and any related transactions. At or prior to the Effective Time, the parties and their boards, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions that are necessary to effectuate the treatment of the Company Restricted Stock pursuant to this subsection, or to cause any disposition or acquisition of equity securities of DCRC pursuant

to this Section 3.01(b)(vi) by each individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, with respect to DCRC or who will (or is reasonably expected to) become subject to such reporting requirements with respect to DCRC to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. Effective as of the Effective Time or as soon thereafter as permitted under applicable Law, DCRC shall file an appropriate registration statement or registration statements with respect to the shares of DCRC Class A Common Stock subject to such Exchanged Restricted Stock and shall maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as such awards remain outstanding.

Within two (2) Business Days (but in no event prior to the Effective Time) after the surrender to the Exchange Agent of all Certificates held by such holder for cancellation, together with a Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and DCRC shall cause the Exchange Agent to deliver the Per Share Merger Consideration in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.02, each Certificate entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.01 shall be deemed at all times after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Per Share Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01.

(i) Within two (2) Business Days of the Effective Time (but in no event prior to the Effective Time), DCRC shall cause the Exchange Agent to deliver to each holder of the Company Common Stock, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented by book-entry (including shares of Company Common Stock resulting from the Conversion), the Per Share Merger Consideration in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01, and such Company Common Stock shall forthwith be cancelled.

(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares of DCRC Class A Common Stock. No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to the DCRC Class A Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of DCRC Class A Common Stock represented thereby until the holder of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate in accordance with Section 3.02(b). Subject to the effect of escheat, Tax or other applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate, DCRC shall pay or cause to be paid to the holder of the shares of DCRC Class A Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) promptly, but in any event within five (5) Business Days of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time and theretofore paid with respect to such shares of DCRC Class A Common Stock, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions, with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date occurring after surrender, payable with respect to such shares of DCRC Class A Common Stock.

(d) No Further Rights in Company Common Stock. The Per Share Merger Consideration payable upon conversion of the Company Common Stock (including shares of Company Common Stock resulting from the Conversion) in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid and issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Common Stock.

(e) Adjustments to Per Share Merger Consideration. The Per Share Merger Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to DCRC Common Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that this Section 3.02(e) shall not be construed to permit DCRC or the Company to take any actions with respect to its respective securities that is prohibited by this Agreement.

(f) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Company Common Stock for one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to DCRC, upon demand, and any holders of Company Common Stock who have not theretofore complied with this Section 3.02 shall thereafter look only to DCRC for the Per Share Merger Consideration. Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by holders of Company Common Stock as of a date which is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any government entity shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of DCRC free and clear of any claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(g) No Liability. None of the Exchange Agent, DCRC or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder of Company Stock (including the shares of Company Common Stock resulting from the Conversion) for any DCRC Class A Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law in accordance with this Section 3.02.

(h) Withholding Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Merger Sub, DCRC, and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from amounts (including shares, warrants, options or other property) otherwise payable, issuable or transferable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment, issuance or transfer under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) or any provision of state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld and timely paid to the applicable Governmental Authority, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid, issued or transferred to the person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(i) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Per Share Merger Consideration that such holder is otherwise entitled to receive pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions hereof.

(j) Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip or shares representing fractional shares of DCRC Class A Common Stock shall be issued upon the exchange of Company Common Stock and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to have any rights of a stockholder of DCRC or a holder of shares of DCRC Class A Common Stock. In lieu of any fractional share of DCRC Class A Common Stock to which any holder of Company Common Stock would otherwise be entitled, the Exchange Agent shall round up or down to the nearest whole share of DCRC Class A Common Stock, as applicable, with a fraction of 0.5 rounded up. No cash settlements shall be made with respect to fractional shares eliminated by rounding.

Section 3.03 Payment Schedule. At least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver to DCRC and Merger Sub a schedule setting forth with respect to each holder of Company Outstanding Shares (the “Payment Schedule”): (a) the name and address of record of such holder, (b) whether such holder is a current or former employee of the Company or any of its affiliates, (c) the total number of Company Outstanding Shares held by such holder as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (including shares of Company Common Stock resulting from the Conversion) and the total number of Company Outstanding Shares subject to Company Warrants and vested Company Options as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, (d) the Per Share Merger Consideration and shares of DCRC Class A Common Stock subject to Assumed Warrants and vested Exchanged Options for each such Company Outstanding Share and (f) the shares of DCRC Class A Common Stock subject to unvested Exchanged Options and Exchanged

Restricted Stock. DCRC and Merger Sub shall be entitled to rely fully on the Payment Schedule for purposes of this Agreement and all payments required to be made hereunder, and none of DCRC, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective affiliates shall absent manifest error of which such party was actually aware have any liability to any person for any payment made in accordance with the calculations set forth in the Payment Schedule or any other payment made to the Exchange Agent for the benefit of the holders of Company Outstanding Shares pursuant to this Article III based on the Payment Schedule (including with respect to any claim that the Payment Schedule or such other written instruction is incomplete or inaccurate).

Section 3.04 Stock Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of Company Stock thereafter on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates representing Company Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Stock, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by Law. On or after the Effective Time, any Certificates presented to the Exchange Agent or DCRC for any reason shall be converted into the Per Share Merger Consideration in accordance with the provisions hereof.

Section 3.05 Appraisal Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary and to the extent available under the CCAA, the shares of Company Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by stockholders of the Company who shall have neither voted in favor of the Merger nor consented thereto in writing and who shall have demanded properly in writing appraisal rights for such Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 7-113-204 of the CBCA, and otherwise complied with all of the provisions of the CCAA relevant to the exercise and perfection of appraisal rights, shall not be converted into, and such stockholders shall have no right to receive, the Per Share Merger Consideration with respect to such shares (such shares, “Dissenting Shares”) unless and until such stockholder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its right to appraisal and payment under the CBCA. Any stockholder of the Company who fails to perfect or who effectively withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its rights to appraisal of such shares of Company Common Stock under Section 7-113-204 of the CBCA, shall thereupon be deemed to have such shares converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, upon surrender, if applicable, in the manner provided in Section 3.02, of the Certificate or Certificates that formerly evidenced such shares of Company Common Stock.

(b) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall give DCRC (i) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company and any withdrawals of such demands, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the CCAA. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of DCRC (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

The transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not be the direct or indirect cause of any amount paid or payable by the DCRC, Merger Sub or any affiliate being classified as an “excess parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code.

No response to any comments from the SEC or the staff of the SEC relating to the Merger Materials will be made by DCRC without the prior consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and without providing the Company a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon unless pursuant to a telephone call initiated by the SEC.

Section 7.03 Written Consent; Information Statement; Company Change in Recommendation.

(a) As promptly as practicable following the date upon which the Registration Statement becomes effective, the Company shall solicit the Company Stockholder Approval via written consent in accordance with Section 7-111-103 of the CBCA. In connection therewith, (i) the Company Board shall set a record date for determining the stockholders of the Company entitled to provide such written consent in accordance with the organizational documents of the Company and the Company will prepare (subject to the reasonable approval DCRC) and deliver to the stockholders of the Company an information statement (the “Information Statement”), which Information Statement shall include a description of the appraisal rights of the stockholders of the Company available under Article 113 of the CBCA, along with such other information as is required thereunder and pursuant to applicable Law. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause each Key Company Stockholder to duly execute and deliver a stockholder written consent substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F, with such modifications as may be mutually agreed by DCRC and the Company, (the “Written Consent”) in respect of the shares of Company Stock beneficially owned by such Key Company Stockholder (which Key Company Stockholders hold shares of Company Stock sufficient to constitute the Company Stockholder Approval) in accordance with Section 7-111-103 of the CBCA within 5 Business Days of the Registration Statement becoming effective. As promptly as practicable following the execution and delivery of the Written Consent by the Key Company Stockholders to the Company, the Company shall deliver to DCRC a copy of such Written Consent in accordance with Section 10.01. If the Key Company Stockholders fail to deliver the Written Consent to the Company within 5 Business Days of the Registration Statement becoming effective (a “Written Consent Failure”), DCRC shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as set forth and subject to the terms contained in Section 9.01.

(b) The Information Statement and Written Consent shall include the Company Recommendation. Neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall: (i) withdraw, modify, amend or qualify (or propose to withdraw, modify, amend or qualify publicly) the Company Recommendation, or fail to include the Company Recommendation in the Information Statement; (ii) approve, recommend or declare advisable (or publicly propose to do so) any Alternative Transaction; (iii) fail to publicly announce, within ten (10) Business Days after a tender offer or exchange offer relating to the equity securities of the Company shall have been commenced by any third party other than DCRC and its affiliates, a statement disclosing that the Company Board recommends rejection of such tender or exchange offer (for the avoidance of doubt, the taking of no position or a neutral position by the Company Board in respect of the acceptance of any such tender offer or exchange offer as of the end of such period shall constitute a failure to publicly announce that the Company Board recommends rejection of such tender or exchange offer); or (iv) if requested by DCRC, fail to issue, within ten (10) Business Days after an Alternative Transaction (other than any tender offer or exchange offer) is publicly announced, a press release reaffirming the Company Recommendation (any action described in clauses (i) through (iv) being referred to as a “Company Change in Recommendation”).

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company Board, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, determines in good faith that failure to effect a Company Change in Recommendation would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law, then the Company Board may effect a Company Change in Recommendation so long as the Company (to the extent lawful and reasonably practicable) first provides DCRC with at least 48 hours advance written notice of such withdrawal or modification.

(d) Notwithstanding (i) any Company Change in Recommendation, (ii) the making of any inquiry or proposal with respect to an Alternative Transaction or (iii) anything to the contrary contained herein, unless this Agreement has been earlier validly terminated in accordance with Section 9.01, (A) in no event shall the Company execute or enter into any agreement in principle, confidentiality agreement, letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, term sheet, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other written arrangement relating to any Alternative Transaction or terminate this Agreement in connection therewith and (B) the Company shall otherwise remain subject to the terms of this Agreement, including the Company’s obligation to use reasonable best efforts to cause each Key Company Stockholder to duly execute and deliver the Written Consent and to otherwise solicit the Company Stockholder Approval in accordance with Section 7.03(a).

Section 7.04 DCRC Stockholders’ Meeting; and Merger Sub Stockholder’s Approval.

(a) DCRC shall call and hold the DCRC Stockholders’ Meeting as promptly as practicable after the date on which the Registration Statement becomes effective for the purpose of voting solely upon the DCRC Proposals, and DCRC shall use its reasonable best efforts to hold the DCRC Stockholders’ Meeting as soon as practicable following after the date on which the Registration Statement becomes effective (after, in each case, taking into account a reasonable period of time as DCRC deems necessary to solicit proxies); provided, that DCRC may postpone or adjourn the DCRC Stockholders’ Meeting on one or more occasions for up to 30 days in the aggregate upon the good faith determination by the DCRC Board that such postponement or adjournment is necessary to solicit additional proxies to obtain approval of the DCRC Proposals or otherwise take actions consistent with DCRC’s obligations pursuant to Section 7.09. DCRC shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the approval of the DCRC Proposals at the DCRC Stockholders’ Meeting, including by soliciting from its stockholders proxies as promptly as possible in favor of the DCRC Proposals, and shall take all other action necessary or advisable to secure the required vote or consent of its stockholders. The DCRC Board shall recommend to its stockholders that they approve the DCRC Proposals (the “DCRC Recommendation”) and shall include such recommendation in the Proxy Statement. Neither the DCRC Board nor any committee thereof shall: (i) withdraw, modify, amend or qualify (or propose to withdraw, modify, amend or qualify publicly) the DCRC Recommendation, or fail to include the DCRC Recommendation in the Proxy Statement; or (ii) approve, recommend or declare advisable (or publicly propose to do so) any DCRC Alternative Transaction (any action described in clauses (i) through (ii) being referred to as a “DCRC Change in Recommendation”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the DCRC Board, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, determines in good faith that failure to effect a DCRC Change in Recommendation would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of DCRC under applicable Law, then the DCRC Board may effect a DCRC Change in Recommendation so long as DCRC (to the extent lawful and reasonably practicable) first provides the Company with at least 48 hours advance written notice of such withdrawal or modification.

(b) Notwithstanding (i) any DCRC Change in Recommendation, (ii) the making of any inquiry or proposal with respect to a DCRC Alternative Transaction or (iii) anything to the contrary contained herein, unless this Agreement has been earlier validly terminated in accordance with Section 9.01, (A) in no event shall DCRC or Merger Sub execute or enter into any agreement in principle, confidentiality agreement, letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, term sheet, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other written arrangement relating to any DCRC Alternative Transaction or terminate this Agreement in connection therewith and (B) DCRC and Merger Sub shall otherwise remain subject to the terms of this Agreement, including DCRC’s obligation to use reasonable best efforts to obtain the approval of the DCRC Proposals at the DCRC Stockholders’ Meeting in accordance with Section 7.04(a).

Prior to the Effective Time, subject to the consent of DCRC (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Company shall elect whether the preceding sentence shall be fulfilled by (a) the Company’s purchase of a prepaid “tail” policy with respect to the D&O Insurance from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance carrier, (b) coverage under the “go-forward” D&O Insurance discussed in Section 7.07(e) hereof, or (c) some other arrangement.

DCRC shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), permit or consent to any amendment, supplement, modification or termination of any Subscription Agreement that would reasonably be expected to delay, the consummation of the Private Placement, or prevent or reduce the amounts payable thereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, DCRC shall give the Company, prompt (and, in any event within three Business Days) written notice: (i) of any amendment to any Subscription Agreement (together with a copy of such amendment); (ii) of any breach or default (or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, could give rise to any breach or default) by any party to any Subscription Agreement known to DCRC; (iii) of the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any party to any Subscription Agreement with respect to any actual, potential or claimed expiration, lapse, withdrawal, breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Subscription Agreement or any terms or provisions of any Subscription Agreement; and (iv) if DCRC does not expect to receive all or any portion of the Private Placements on the terms, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the

Subscription Agreements.

Section 10.04 Entire Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and, except as set forth in Section 7.05(b), supersede all prior agreements and undertakings (whether written and oral) among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof, except for the Confidentiality Agreement.

Section 10.09 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or portable document format (pdf) transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 10.10 Specific Performance.

(a) The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof, and, accordingly, that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof (including the parties’ obligation to consummate the Merger) in the Delaware Court of Chancery, or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, in any federal court located in the State of Delaware or any other Delaware state court without proof of actual damages or otherwise, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity as expressly permitted in this Agreement.

2.1. Registration.

2.1.1 Shelf Registration.

(b) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to become effective by the Commission as soon as reasonably practicable after the initial filing of the Registration Statement. Subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement, the Company shall effect any Shelf Registration on such appropriate registration form of the Commission (i) as shall be selected by the Company and (ii) as shall permit the resale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities by the Holders. If at any time a Registration Statement filed with the Commission pursuant to subsection 2.1.1 is effective and a Holder provides written notice to the Company that it intends to effect an offering of all or part of the Registrable Securities included on such Registration Statement, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to amend or supplement such Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to enable such offering to take place in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

2.1.2 Underwritten Offering. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.1.3 and Sections 2.4, 2.5 and 3.4 of this Agreement, any Demanding Holder may make a written demand to the Company for an Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Registration Statement filed with the Commission in accordance with Section 2.1.1 of this Agreement (an “Underwritten Demand”). The Company shall, within ten (10) days of the Company’s receipt of the Underwritten Demand, notify, in writing, all other Holders of such demand, and each Holder who thereafter wishes to include all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Offering pursuant to an Underwritten Demand (each such Holder that includes all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Offering, a “Requesting Holder”) shall so notify the Company, in writing, within five (5) days after the receipt by the Holder of the notice from the Company. Upon receipt by the Company of any such written notification from a Requesting Holder(s), such Requesting Holder(s) shall be entitled to have their Registrable Securities included in the Underwritten Offering pursuant to an Underwritten Demand. All such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering under this subsection 2.1.2 shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the Company in consultation with the Demanding Holders initiating the Underwritten Offering.

2.1.3 Reduction of Underwritten Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Offering pursuant to an Underwritten Demand, in good faith, advises or advise the Company, the Demanding Holders, and the Requesting Holders in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities or other equity securities of the Company requested to be included in such Underwritten Offering exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities of the Company that can be sold in the Underwritten Offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Offering, as follows: (i) first, the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder and Requesting Holder (if any) has requested be included in such Underwritten Offering (such proportion is referred to herein as “Pro Rata”)) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company that the Company desires to sell and that can be sold without exceeding the

Maximum Number of Securities; and (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company held by other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to include pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons or entities and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

2.1.4 Registration Withdrawal. The Demanding Holders initiating an Underwritten Offering pursuant to subsection 2.1.2 of this Agreement shall have the right to withdraw from such Underwritten Offering for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company of their intention to withdraw from such Underwritten Offering prior to the launch of such Underwritten Offering; provided, however, that upon the withdrawal of an amount of Registrable Securities that results in the remaining amount of Registrable Securities included by the Demanding Holders and participating Holders in such Underwritten Offering being less than the Minimum Amount, the Company may cease all efforts to complete the Underwritten Offering and, for the avoidance of doubt, if such efforts are ceased, such Underwritten Offering shall not be counted as an Underwritten Offering for the purpose of the final sentence of subsection 2.1.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with an Underwritten Demand prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.1.4.

2.2. Piggyback Registration.

2.2.1 Piggyback Rights. If the Company proposes to (i) file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities of the Company, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into equity securities of the Company, for its own account or for the account of stockholders of the Company, other than a Registration Statement (A) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (B) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto), (C) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing stockholders, (D) for an offering solely of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company or (E) for a dividend reinvestment plan, or (ii) consummate an Underwritten Offering for its own account or for the account of stockholders of the Company (other than pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed action to the Holders of at least $25 million of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable (but in the case of filing a Registration Statement, not less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement), which notice shall (x) describe the amount and type of securities to be included, the intended method(s) of distribution and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, and (y) offer to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities the opportunity to register the sale of such number of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing within (a) five (5) days in the case of filing a Registration Statement and (b) two (2) days in the case of an Underwritten Offering (unless such offering is an overnight or bought Underwritten Offering, then one (1) day), in each case after receipt of such written notice (such Registration, a “Piggyback Registration”). The Company shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested by the Holders pursuant to this subsection 2.2.1 to be included in a Piggyback Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included in such Piggyback Registration and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. If no written request for inclusion from a Holder is received within the specified time, each such Holder shall have no further right to participate in such Piggyback Registration. All such Holders proposing to include Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering under this subsection 2.2.1 shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the Company.

2.2.2 Reduction of Piggyback Registration. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Offering that is to be a Piggyback Registration, in good faith, advises the Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the Piggyback Registration that the dollar amount or number of shares of the equity securities of the Company that the Company desires to sell, taken together with (i) the shares of equity securities of the Company, if any, as to which Registration or Underwritten Offering has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, (ii) the Registrable Securities as to which Registration or Underwritten Offering has been requested pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Agreement and (iii) the shares of equity securities of the Company, if any, as to which Registration or Underwritten Offering has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggyback registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then:

(a) If the Registration or Underwritten Offering is undertaken for the Company’s account, the Company shall include in any such Registration or Underwritten Offering (A) first, the Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.2.1 of this Agreement, Pro Rata, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company, if any, as to which Registration or Underwritten Offering has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggyback registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; or

(b) If the Registration or Underwritten Offering is pursuant to a request by persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, then the Company shall include in any such Registration or Underwritten Offering (A) first, Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company, if any, of such requesting persons or entities, other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.2.1 of this Agreement, Pro Rata, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company for the account of other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons or entities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

2.2.3 Piggyback Registration Withdrawal. Any Holder of Registrable Securities shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of his, her or its intention to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration prior to, as applicable, the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Piggyback Registration or the launch of the Underwritten Offering with respect to such Piggyback Registration. The Company (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal by persons or entities pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed with the Commission in connection with a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or abandon an Underwritten Offering in connection with a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the launch of such Underwritten Offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.2.3.

2.2.4 Unlimited Piggyback Registration Rights. For purposes of clarity, any Registration or Underwritten Offering effected pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Agreement shall not be counted as an Underwritten Offering pursuant to an Underwritten Demand effected under Section 2.1 of this Agreement.

2.3 Block Trades Other Coordinated Offerings.

2.3.1 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article II, but subject to Sections 2.4, 2.5 and 3.4, at any time and from time to time when an effective Registration Statement is on file with the Commission, if a Demanding Holder wishes to engage in (a) an underwritten registered offering not involving a “roadshow,” an offer commonly known as a “block trade” (a “Block Trade”) or (b) an “at the market” or similar registered offering through a broker, sales agent or distribution agent, whether as agent or principal, (an “Other Coordinated Offering”), in each case, with a total offering price reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $25 million,

then if such Demanding Holder requires any assistance from the Company pursuant to this Section 2.3, such Holder shall notify the Company promptly of the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering at least five (5) business days prior to the day such offering is to commence and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering; provided that the Demanding Holders representing a majority of the Registrable Securities wishing to engage in the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering shall use commercially reasonable efforts to work with the Company and any Underwriters or brokers, sales agents or placement agents (each, a “Financial Counterparty”) prior to making such request in order to facilitate preparation of the registration statement, prospectus and other offering documentation related to the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering.

2.3.2 Prior to the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement used in connection with a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering, a majority-in interest of the Demanding Holders initiating such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering shall have the right to withdraw from such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company, the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) and Financial Counterparty (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.3.2.

2.3.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Section 2.2 shall not apply to a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering initiated by a Demanding Holder pursuant to Section 2.3 of this Agreement.

2.3.4 The Demanding Holder in a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering shall have the right to select the Underwriters and Financial Counterparty (if any) for such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering (in each case, which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks).

2.4 Total Demanded Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company is not obligated to effect (i) more than an aggregate of three (3) Underwritten Offerings, Block Trades and Other Coordinated Offerings in any twelve (12)-month period, (ii) more than an aggregate of five (5) Underwritten Offerings, Block Trades and Other Coordinated Offerings in total, (iii) any Underwritten Offering, Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offerings within six (6) months after the closing of an Underwritten Offering or (iv) an Underwritten Offering unless the reasonably expected aggregate gross proceeds from the offering of the Registrable Securities to be registered in connection with such Underwritten Offering are at least $75,000,000 (the “Minimum Amount”). For the avoidance of doubt, any Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering effected pursuant to Section 2.3 shall not be counted as a demand for an Underwritten Offering pursuant to subsection 2.1.2 and any demand for an Underwritten Offering pursuant to subsection 2.1.2 shall not be counted as a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering pursuant to Section 2.3.

2.5 Restrictions on Registration Rights. If (A) the Holders have requested an Underwritten Offering pursuant to an Underwritten Demand and the Company and the Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite the offer; (B) the filing, initial effectiveness, or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of such Underwritten Offering at any time would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control; or (C) the Holders have requested an Underwritten Offering pursuant to an Underwritten Demand and in the good faith judgment of the Board that such Underwritten Offering would be seriously detrimental to the Company and the Board concludes as a result to defer the filing of such Registration Statement or the undertaking of such Underwritten Offering at such time, then in each case the Company shall notify such Holders that such circumstances exist. In such event, the Company shall have the right to defer such filing or offering for a period of not more than sixty (60) consecutive days; provided, however, that the Company shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than ninety (90) days in any twelve (12)-month period.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to provide any documents or information to an Underwriter or Financial Counterparty if such Underwriter or Financial Counterparty has not then been named with respect to the applicable Underwritten Offering or other offering involving a registration as an Underwriter or Financial Counterparty, as applicable.

3.2. Registration Expenses. The Registration Expenses in respect of all Registrations shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the Holders shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration Expenses,” all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders.

3.3. Requirements for Participation in Underwritten Offerings. No person may participate in any Underwritten Offering for equity securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company and (ii) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

3.4 Suspension of Sales. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to (A) delay or postpone the (i) initial effectiveness of any Registration Statement or (ii) launch of any Underwritten Offering, in each case, filed or requested pursuant to this Agreement, and (B) from time to time to require the Holders not to sell under any Registration Statement or Prospectus or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if 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 Board reasonably believes, upon the advice of legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by the Company in the applicable Registration Statement or Prospectus 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 or Prospectus would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Board, upon the advice of legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement or Prospectus to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that the Company may not delay or suspend a Registration Statement, Prospectus or Underwritten Offering on more than two occasions, for more than sixty (60) 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 the Company of a Suspension Event while a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event a Misstatement exists, each Holder agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of Registered Securities under each Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement until the Holder receives copies of a supplemental or amended Prospectus (which the Company agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the relevant misstatements or omissions 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 provided for the avoidance of doubt, that the foregoing shall not restrict or otherwise affect the consummation of any sale pursuant to a contract entered into or order placed by a Holder prior to receipt of notice of the Suspension Event and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of information included in such written notice delivered by the Company unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by the Company, the Holders will deliver to the Company or, in Holders’ sole discretion destroy, all copies of each Prospectus covering Registrable Securities in Holders’ possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy shall not apply (A) to the extent the Holders are required to retain a copy of such Prospectus (x) to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (y) 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.

3.5 Reporting Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times, covenants to file timely (without giving effect to any extensions pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Company further covenants that it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission) and shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell shares of Registrable Securities held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission), including providing any legal opinions. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

3.6 Legend Removal. The Company shall cause any Common Stock issued to a Holder pursuant to the BCA that is covered for resale by an effective registration statement with the Commission to be issued without any restrictive legends due to the fact that such Common Stock was issued in a transaction that was not a registered offering under the Securities Act and, if requested by any Holder, cause to be delivered to the Holder such Common Stock by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system, in each case, free from such restrictive legends and stop transfer instructions (or similar notations) and without the requirement for any Holder to deliver any documentation affixed with a medallion guarantee. To the extent any Registrable Securities do bear any other restrictive legend at any time, the Company shall cause such restrictive legends related to the book-entry account holding any Holder’s Registrable Securities (or certificates related thereto) to be removed (and such Registrable Securities shall not be subject to any stop-transfer instructions), and without the requirement for any Holder to deliver any documentation affixed with a medallion guarantee if such Registrable Securities are registered for resale under the Securities Act (provided that, such Holder agrees that if a Holder is selling pursuant to the effective registration statement registering the Registrable Securities for resale, it shall only sell such Registrable Securities under such registration statement, during such time that such registration statement is effective and not withdrawn or suspended, and only as permitted by such registration statement and such Holder provides customary documentation in support thereof). The Company agrees that, following such time as the foregoing conditions are met, it will, no later than the earlier of (x) two (2) Trading Days and (y) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following the delivery by the Holder to the Company or the transfer agent for the Registrable Securities of a book-entry account or certificate representing Registrable Securities issued with a restrictive legend, deliver or cause the transfer agent to deliver to the Holder a book-entry account or certificate representing such Registrable Securities or, at the request of the Holder, deliver or cause to be delivered the Registrable Securities to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system, in each case, free from all restrictive and other legends and stop transfer instructions (or similar notations). Each Holder shall have the right to pursue any remedies available to it hereunder, or otherwise at law or in equity, including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief, with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver Registrable Securities without legend as required pursuant to the terms hereof. For purposes hereof, “Trading Day” means any day on which the Registrable Securities are traded for any period on Nasdaq or, if Nasdaq is not the principal trading market for the Registrable Securities, on the principal trading market or other securities exchange or market on which the Registrable Securities then being traded; provided, however, that during any period in which the Registrable Securities not listed or quoted on Nasdaq or any other securities exchange or market, the term “Trading Day” shall mean a business day, and “Standard Settlement Period” means, as of any date, the standard settlement period for equity trades effected on securities exchanges in the United States, expressed in a number of Trading Days, as in effect on such date.

ARTICLE IV

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

4.1. Indemnification.

4.1.1 The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers and directors and each person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) (collectively, the “Holder Indemnified Persons”) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and inclusive of all reasonable attorneys’ fees arising out of the enforcement of each such persons’ rights under this Section 4.1) resulting from any Misstatement or alleged Misstatement, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder Indemnified Person specifically for use in a Registration Statement.

4.1.2 In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and inclusive of all reasonable attorneys’ fees arising out of the enforcement of each such persons’ rights under this Section 4.1) resulting from any Misstatement or alleged Misstatement, but only to the extent that the same are made in reliance on and in conformity with information relating to the Holder so furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for use therein. In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

4.1.3 Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) 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 right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) 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 or there may be reasonable defenses available to the indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, 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 (plus reasonably necessary local 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 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 and which settlement does not include any admission of fault or culpability by such indemnified party.

4.1.4 The indemnification provided for under this 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 of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities.

4.1.5 If the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall to the extent permitted by law contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket 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. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or such 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; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this subsection 4.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. 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 subsections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 of this Agreement, any legal or other fees, charges or out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this subsection 4.1.5. 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 subsection 4.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

ARTICLE V

AMENDED AND RESTATED BYLAWS

As Adopted [date]

Article I

SHAREHOLDERS

1. ANNUAL SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING. The annual shareholders’ meeting shall be held on the date and at the time and place fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that the first annual meeting shall be held on a date that is within six months after the close of the first fiscal year of the Corporation, and each successive annual meeting shall be held on a date that is within the earlier of six months after the close of the last fiscal year or 15 months after the last annual meeting.

Special meetings shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation or at such other place as the Board of Directors or the president may determine.

3. RECORD DATE FOR DETERMINATION OF SHAREHOLDERS.

(d) If no record date is otherwise fixed, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to be given notice of and to vote at an annual or special shareholders’ meeting is the day before the first notice is given to shareholders.

(e) If no record date is otherwise fixed, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to demand a special shareholders’ meeting is the later of (1) the date of the earliest of the demands pursuant to which the meeting is called, or (2) the date that is 60 days before the date the first of such demands is received by the Corporation.

(f) The record date for determining shareholders entitled to take action without a meeting pursuant to Article I.10 is the date a writing upon which the action is taken is first received by the Corporation.

4. VOTING LIST.

(a) After a record date is fixed for a shareholders’ meeting, the secretary shall prepare a list of the names of all of the Corporation’s shareholders that are entitled to be given notice of the meeting. The list shall be arranged by voting groups and within each voting group by class or series of shares, shall be alphabetical within each class or series, and shall show the address of each shareholder and the number of shares of each such class and series that are held by each shareholder.

(b) The list of shareholders shall be available for inspection by any shareholder, beginning the earlier of ten days before the meeting for which the list was prepared or two business days after notice of the meeting is given and continuing through the meeting, and any adjournment thereof, at the Corporation’s principal office or at a place identified in the notice of the meeting in the city where the meeting will be held.

(c) The secretary shall make the list of shareholders available at the meeting, and any shareholder or agent or attorney of a shareholder is entitled to inspect the list at any time during the meeting or any adjournment thereof.

5. NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS.

(a) The secretary shall give notice to the shareholders of the date, time, and place of each annual and special shareholders’ meeting no fewer than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting; except that, if the Articles of Incorporation are to be amended to increase the number of authorized shares, at least 30 days’ notice shall be given. Except as otherwise required by the Colorado Business Corporation Act, the secretary shall be required to give such notice only to shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting.

(b) Notice of an annual shareholders’ meeting need not include a description of the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called unless a purpose of the meeting is to consider an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation, a restatement of the Articles of Incorporation, a plan of merger or share exchange, disposition of substantially all of the property of the Corporation, consent by the Corporation to the disposition of property by another entity, or dissolution of the Corporation.

(c) Notice of a special shareholders’ meeting shall include a description of the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.

(d) Notice of a shareholders’ meeting shall be in writing and shall be given:

(1) by deposit in the United States mail, properly addressed to the shareholder’s address shown in the Corporation’s current record of shareholders, first class postage prepaid, and, if so given, shall be effective when mailed; or

(2) by electronic mail, mail, or private carrier or by personal delivery to the shareholder, and, if so given, shall be effective when actually received by the shareholder.

(e) If an annual or special shareholders’ meeting is adjourned to a different date, time, or place, notice need not be given of the new date, time, or place if the new date, time, or place is announced at the meeting before adjournment; provided, however, that, if a new record date for the adjourned meeting is fixed pursuant to Article I.3(c), notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to persons that are shareholders as of the new record date.

Bylaws, Page 2

(f) If three successive notices, whether with respect to a shareholders’ meeting or otherwise, are given by the Corporation to a shareholder and are returned as undeliverable, no further notices to such shareholder shall be necessary until another address for the shareholder is made known to the Corporation.

6. QUORUM. Shares entitled to vote as a separate voting group may take action on a matter at a meeting only if a quorum of those shares exists with respect to that matter. One-half of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter by the voting group shall constitute a quorum of that voting group for action on the matter. If a quorum does not exist with respect to any voting group, the president or any shareholder or proxy that is present at the meeting, whether or not a member of that voting group, may adjourn the meeting to a different date, time, or place, and (subject to the next sentence) notice need not be given of the new date, time, or place if the new date, time, or place is announced at the meeting before adjournment. If a new record date for the adjourned meeting is or must be fixed pursuant to Article I.3(c), notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given pursuant to Article I.5 to persons that are shareholders as of the new record date. At any adjourned meeting at which a quorum exists, any matter may be acted upon that could have been acted upon at the meeting originally called; provided, however, that, if new notice is given of the adjourned meeting, then such notice shall state the purpose or purposes of the adjourned meeting sufficiently to permit action on such matters. Once a share is represented for any purpose at a meeting, including the purpose of determining that a quorum exists, it is deemed present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of that meeting unless a new record date is or shall be set for that adjourned meeting.

7. VOTING ENTITLEMENT OF SHARES. Except as stated in the Articles of Incorporation, each outstanding share, regardless of class, is entitled to one vote, and each fractional share is entitled to a corresponding fractional vote, on each matter voted on at a shareholders’ meeting.

8. PROXIES; ACCEPTANCE OF VOTES AND CONSENTS.

(a) A shareholder may vote either in person or by proxy.

(b) An appointment of a proxy is not effective against the Corporation until the appointment is received by the Corporation. An appointment is valid for 11 months unless a different period is expressly provided in the appointment form.

(c) The Corporation may accept or reject any appointment of a proxy, revocation of appointment of a proxy, vote, consent, waiver, or other writing purportedly signed by or for a shareholder, if such acceptance or rejection is in accordance with the provisions of the Colorado Business Corporation Act.

9. WAIVER OF NOTICE.

(a) A shareholder may waive any notice required by the Colorado Business Corporation Act, the Articles of Incorporation, or these Bylaws, whether before, at, or after the date or time stated in the notice as the date or time when any action will occur or has occurred. The waiver shall be in writing, be signed by the shareholder entitled to the notice, and be delivered to the Corporation for inclusion in the minutes for filing with the corporate records, but such delivery and filing shall not be conditions of the effectiveness of the waiver.

(b) A shareholder’s attendance at a meeting (1) waives objection to lack of notice or defective notice of the meeting unless, at the beginning of the meeting, the shareholder objects to holding the meeting or to transacting business at the meeting because of lack of notice or defective notice, and (2) waives objection to consideration of a particular matter at the meeting that is not within the purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice unless, when the matter is presented for consideration, the shareholder objects to its consideration.

10. ACTION BY SHAREHOLDERS WITHOUT A MEETING.

(a) Majority Written Consent. Any action required or permitted to be taken at a shareholders’ meeting may be taken without a meeting if the required shareholders entitled to vote thereon consent to such action in writing. The required shareholders are the shareholders holding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all of the shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Action taken pursuant to this section shall be effective when the Corporation has received writings that describe and consent to the action signed by the required shareholders entitled to vote thereon so long as such consent is received within 60 days after the date the Corporation first receives a writing describing and consenting to the action and signed by a shareholder. Receipt by the Corporation of any such writing may be by electronically transmitted facsimile or other form of wire or wireless communication providing the Corporation with a complete copy thereof, including the signature thereto. Action taken pursuant to this section shall be effective as of the date the last writing necessary to effect the action is received by the Corporation, unless all of the writings necessary to effect the action specify another date, which may be before or after the date the writings are received by the Corporation. Such action shall have the same effect as action taken at a meeting of shareholders and may be described as such in any document. Any shareholder that has signed a writing describing and consenting to action taken pursuant to this section may revoke such consent by a writing signed by the shareholder describing the action and stating that the shareholder’s prior consent thereto is revoked, if such writing is received by the Corporation before the effectiveness of the action.

(b) Notice of Action by Written Consent. If action by the shareholders is taken under Article I subsection 10(a) hereof, the Corporation or shareholders taking the action shall, upon receipt by the Corporation of all writings necessary to effect the action, give notice of the action to all shareholders who were entitled to vote upon the action but who have not consented to the action in the manner provided in subsection 10(a) above. The notice shall contain or be accompanied by the same material, if any, that would have been required under Article I section 5 hereof to be given to shareholders in or with a notice of the meeting at which the action would have been submitted to the shareholders.

11. MEETINGS BY TELECOMMUNICATIONS. Any or all of the shareholders may participate in an annual or special shareholders’ meeting by, or the meeting may be conducted through the use of, any means of communication by which all persons participating in the meeting may hear each other during the meeting. The Board shall establish the terms and conditions under which such participation shall be permitted and shall cause the notice of the meeting to state such terms and conditions, each of which shall apply to every shareholder without discrimination. A shareholder participating in a meeting by this means is deemed to be present in person at the meeting.

13. WAIVER OF NOTICE.

(a) A director may waive any notice of a meeting before, at, or after the time and date of the meeting stated in the notice.

Such waiver shall be delivered to the secretary for filing with the corporate records, but such delivery and filing shall not be conditions of the effectiveness of the waiver.

(b) A director’s attendance at or participation in a meeting waives any required notice to him or her of the meeting unless, at the beginning of the meeting or promptly upon his or her later arrival, the director objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting because of lack of notice or defective notice and does not thereafter, at the meeting, vote for or assent to action taken at the meeting.

14. ATTENDANCE BY TELECOMMUNICATIONS. One or more directors may participate in a regular or special meeting by, or conduct the meeting through the use of, any means of communication by which all directors participating may hear each other during the meeting.

16. ACTION BY DIRECTORS WITHOUT A MEETING. Any action required or permitted by law to be taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board consent to such action in writing. The action shall be deemed to have been so taken by the Board at the time the last director signs a writing describing the action taken, unless, before such time, any director has revoked his or her consent by a writing signed by the director and received by the president or the secretary or any other person authorized by the Bylaws or the Board of Directors to receive such a revocation. Such action shall be effective at the time and date it is so taken unless the directors establish a different effective time or date. Such action has the same effect as action taken at a meeting of directors and may be described as such in any document.

INDEMNIFICATION

1. DEFINITIONS. As used in this Article V, the following capitalized terms have the meanings ascribed to them in this Article V.1:

Bylaws, Page 8

(a) “Colorado Business Corporation Act” includes, when used with reference to an act or omission occurring prior to effectiveness of any amendment to the Colorado Business Corporation Act after the effectiveness of the adoption of this Article V, such amendment only to the extent that the amendment permits a corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than the Colorado Business Corporation Act permitted prior to the amendment.

(b) “Corporation” includes any domestic or foreign entity that is a predecessor of the Corporation by reason of a merger or other transaction in which the predecessor’s existence ceased upon consummation of the transaction.

(c) A “Director” or “Officer” is an individual who is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or an individual who, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the Corporation’s request as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, fiduciary, or agent of another domestic or foreign corporation or other person or of an employee benefit plan. A director or officer is considered to be serving an employee benefit plan at the Corporation’s request if his or her duties to the Corporation also impose duties on, or otherwise involve services by, the director to the plan or to participants in or beneficiaries of the plan. “Director” and “Officer” includes, unless the context requires otherwise, the estate or personal representative of a Director or an Officer.

(d) “Expense” includes, but is not limited to, expenses of investigation and preparation, expenses incurred in connection with appearance as a witness, and fees and disbursements of counsel, accountants, and other experts.

The Corporation may in its discretion, but is not obligated in any way, to indemnify and advance Expenses to an employee or agent of the Corporation to the same extent as to a Director or Officer, and the Corporation may indemnify an Officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the Corporation to a greater extent than permitted for Directors, provided such indemnification is not in violation of public policy.

3. PROVISIONS NOT EXCLUSIVE. The foregoing provisions for indemnification and for advancement of Expenses are not exclusive, and the Corporation may at its discretion provide for indemnification or for advancement of Expenses in a resolution of its shareholders or directors, in a contract, or in its Articles of Incorporation.

4. EFFECT OF MODIFICATION. Any repeal or modification of any provision of this Article V shall not affect adversely any right or protection stated in such provision with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification. If any provision of this Article V shall be held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be deemed amended to accomplish the objectives of the provision as originally written to the fullest extent permitted by law, and all other provisions of this Article V shall remain in full force and effect.

5. INSURANCE. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a person who is or was a Director, Officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the Corporation, or who, while a Director, Officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, fiduciary, or agent of another domestic or foreign corporation or other person or of an employee benefit plan, against Liability asserted against or incurred by the person in that capacity or arising from his or her status as a Director, Officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent, whether or not the Corporation would have power to indemnify the person against the same Liability under the Colorado Business Corporation Act. Any such insurance may be procured from any insurance company designated by the Board of Directors, whether such insurance company is formed under the laws of this state or any other jurisdiction of the United States or elsewhere, including any insurance company in which the Corporation has an equity or any other interest through stock ownership or otherwise.

6. EXPENSES AS A WITNESS. The Corporation may pay or reimburse expenses incurred by a Director, Officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent in connection with an appearance as a witness in a Proceeding at a time when he or she has not been made a named defendant or respondent in the Proceeding.

7. NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS. If the Corporation indemnifies or advances Expenses to a Director under this Article V in connection with a Proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation, the Corporation shall give written notice of the indemnification or advance to the shareholders with or before the notice of the next shareholders’ meeting. If the next shareholder action is taken without a meeting at the instigation of the Board of Directors, such notice shall be given to the shareholders at or before the time the first shareholder signs a writing consenting to such action.

Any stock certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock shall from and after the Effective Time be deemed to represent an equal number of shares of Common Stock, without the need for surrender or exchange thereof.

Section 2. Each share of Common Stock outstanding as of the applicable record date shall entitle the holder thereof to one (1) vote on any matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders.

Section 3. The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series pursuant to a resolution or resolutions providing for such issue duly adopted by the Board of Directors (authority to do so being hereby expressly vested in the Board of Directors). The Board of Directors is further authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by law, to fix by resolution or resolutions the designations, powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of any series of Preferred Stock, including, without limitation, authority to fix by resolution or resolutions the dividend rights, dividend rate, conversion rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), redemption price or prices, and liquidation preferences of any such series, and the number of shares constituting any such series and the designation thereof, or any of the foregoing. The Board of Directors is further authorized to increase (but not above the total number of authorized shares of the class) or decrease (but not below the number of shares of any such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any series, subject to the powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof stated in this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the resolution of the Board of Directors originally fixing the number of shares of such series. Except as may be otherwise specified by the terms of any series of Preferred Stock, if the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock is so decreased, then the Company shall take all such steps as are necessary to cause the shares constituting such decrease to resume the status which they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series.

For the purposes of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the term “Whole Board” shall mean the total number of authorized directorships whether or not there exist any vacancies or other unfilled seats in previously authorized directorships. At each annual meeting of stockholders, directors of the Company shall be elected to hold office until the expiration of the term for which they are elected and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal; except that if any such meeting shall not be so held, such election shall take place at a stockholders’ meeting called and held in accordance with the DGCL.

Section 2. From and after the Effective Time, the directors of the Company (other than any who may be elected by holders of Preferred Stock under specified circumstances) shall be divided into three classes as nearly equal in size as is practicable, hereby designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Directors already in office shall be assigned to each class at the time such classification becomes effective in accordance with a resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors.

Section 2. Except as otherwise provided for or fixed by or pursuant to the provisions of ARTICLE IV hereof in relation to the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock to elect directors under specified circumstances or except as otherwise provided by resolution of a majority of the Whole Board, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors, created in accordance with the Bylaws of the Company, and any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other cause shall be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, or by a sole remaining director, and not by the stockholders. A person so elected by the Board of Directors to fill a vacancy or newly created directorship shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such director shall have been chosen until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.

- 3 -

Section 3. In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to adopt, alter, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Company. The affirmative vote of at least a majority of the Whole Board shall be required in order for the Board of Directors to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Company’s Bylaws. The Company’s Bylaws may also be adopted, amended, altered or repealed by the stockholders of the Company. Notwithstanding the above or any other provision of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws of the Company may not be amended, altered or repealed by the stockholders of the Company except in accordance with the provisions of the Bylaws relating to amendments to the Bylaws. No Bylaw hereafter legally adopted, amended, altered or repealed shall invalidate any prior act of the directors or officers of the Company that would have been valid if such Bylaw had not been adopted, amended, altered or repealed.

Section 4. The election of directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws of the Company shall so provide.

Section 5. No stockholder will be permitted to cumulate votes at any election of directors.

ARTICLE VIII

Subject to the rights of holders of Preferred Stock, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Company must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such stockholders.

Section 2. Subject to the terms of any series of Preferred Stock, special meetings of stockholders of the Company may be called only by the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or the Board of Directors acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board, but a special meeting may not be called by any other person or persons and any power of stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders is specifically denied.

Subject to any provisions in the Bylaws of the Company related to indemnification of directors or officers of the Company, the Company shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any director or officer of the Company who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director,

- 4 -

officer, employee or agent of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans (an “indemnitee”) against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any such Proceeding. The Company shall to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law pay the expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred by an indemnitee in defending or otherwise participating in any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, to the extent required by applicable law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 2 or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred by this Section 2 shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators. The Company shall be required to indemnify an indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if the Proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors.

OF THE

STOCKHOLDERS OF

SOLID POWER, INC.

(a Colorado corporation)

The undersigned, constituting the holders of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Solid Power, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the “Company”), having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such actions at a meeting at which all the shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, by written consent in lieu of a meeting, hereby, pursuant to the provisions of Sections 7-107-104 and 7-111-103 of the Colorado Business Corporation Act (the “CBCA”), the Fourth Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company (the “Current Articles”) and the bylaws of the Company, consent to and approve the following resolutions and each and every action effected thereby:

Approval of the Business Combination Agreement and Related Agreements

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that it is advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its stockholders (the “Stockholders”) for the Company to enter into that certain Business Combination Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (together with all the schedules, exhibits and attachments thereto, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Corporation III, a Delaware corporation (“Acquiror”), DCRC Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), and the Company, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company with the Company surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Acquiror (the entire transaction, the “Merger”);

WHEREAS, capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Business Combination Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Board has approved and declared the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, including the Merger, to be advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of the Company and the Stockholders and has recommended that the Stockholders of the Company adopt the Business Combination Agreement and approve the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger;

WHEREAS, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, at the Effective Time, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (including shares of Company Common Stock resulting from the Conversion, but excluding Company Restricted Stock and excluding any Dissenting Shares) shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive the number of shares of DCRC Class A Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio;

WHEREAS, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, at the Effective Time, each Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of DCRC Class A Common Stock (such option, an “Exchanged Option”) equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time and (y) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (i) the exercise price per share of such Company Option immediately prior to the

Effective Time divided by (ii) the Exchange Ratio; provided, however, that the exercise price and the number of shares of DCRC Class A Common Stock purchasable pursuant to the Exchanged Options shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code; provided, further, that in the case of any Exchanged Option to which Section 422 of the Code applies, the exercise price and the number of shares of DCRC Class A Common Stock purchasable pursuant to such option shall be determined in accordance with the foregoing, subject to such adjustments as are necessary in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code. Except as specifically provided above, following the Effective Time, each Exchanged Option shall continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including vesting and exercisability terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time;

WHEREAS, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, each of the Company Warrants: (a) to the extent then terminated, expired or exercised, either voluntarily prior to the Effective Time or in accordance with its terms in connection with the Transactions, shall no longer be deemed outstanding and any shares of Company Common Stock issuable in connection therewith shall be treated as described in Section 3.02(b). of the Business Combination Agreement; and (b) to the extent then outstanding and unexercised, shall automatically, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into a warrant to acquire a number of DCRC Class A Common Stock at an adjusted exercise price per share, in each case, as determined under Section 3.01(b)(iv). of the Business Combination Agreement (each such resulting warrant, an “Assumed Warrant”);

WHEREAS, each Assumed Warrant shall be subject to the same terms and conditions (including exercisability terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, except to the extent such terms or conditions are rendered inoperative by the Transactions. Accordingly, effective as of the Effective Time: (a) each Assumed Warrant shall be exercisable solely for shares of DCRC Class A Common Stock; (b) the number of shares of DCRC Class A Common Stock subject to each Assumed Warrant shall be equal to (1) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the applicable Company Warrant multiplied by (2) the Exchange Ratio, rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of DCRC Class A Common Stock; and (c) the per share exercise price for the DCRC Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Warrant shall be equal to (x) the per share exercise price for the shares of Company Common Stock subject to the applicable Company Warrant, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent;

WHEREAS, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, each award of Company Restricted Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be released and extinguished in exchange for an award covering a number of restricted shares of DCRC Class A Common Stock (such award of restricted stock, “Exchanged Restricted Stock”) equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such award of Company Restricted Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time and (y) the Exchange Ratio. Except as specifically provided above, following the Effective Time, each award of Exchanged Restricted Stock shall continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including vesting and repurchase terms) as were applicable to the corresponding award of Company Restricted Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time, except to the extent such terms or conditions are rendered inoperative by the Merger and any related transactions;

WHEREAS, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and the voting requirements of Article Fourth B.5.1 of the Current Articles, each share of Company Preferred Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted into a number of shares of Company Common Stock at the then-effective conversion rate calculated pursuant to Article Fourth B 4.1.1 of the Current Articles;

Re:	Sponsor Letter

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter (this “Sponsor Letter”) is being delivered to you in accordance with that Business Combination Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as it may be amended, restated, or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms), by and among Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Corporation III, a Delaware corporation (“SPAC”), DCRC Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Solid Power, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the “Company”) (the “Business Combination Agreement”) and the transactions contemplated therein (the “Business Combination”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph 4 hereof. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Business Combination Agreement.

Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Sponsor III LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sponsor”), currently is the record owner of 8,390,000 shares of DCRC Founders Stock and 6,367,263 outstanding DCRC Warrants, which were acquired in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the consummation of the SPAC’s initial public offering (the “Private Placement Warrants” and, collectively, the “Sponsor Equity”), and certain individuals, each of whom is a member of SPAC’s board of directors (the “Insiders”) currently are the record owners of 360,000 shares of DCRC Founders Stock and 299,404 Private Placement Warrants (collectively, the “Insider Equity”).

In order to induce the Company and SPAC to enter into the Business Combination Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Sponsor and each Insider agree as follows:

1)	Each of the Sponsor and the Insiders unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that it shall:

vote any DCRC Class A Common Stock and DCRC Founders Stock owned by it (all such common stock, the “Covered Shares”) in favor of the Business Combination and each other proposal related to the Business Combination included on the agenda for any meeting of stockholders, however called, (including any adjournment or postponement thereof), and in any action by written resolution of the stockholders of SPAC, relating to the Business Combination and any transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement;

when such meeting of stockholders is held, appear at such meeting or otherwise cause the Covered Shares to be counted as present thereat for the purpose of establishing a quorum;

vote (or execute and return an action by written consent), or cause to be voted at such meeting, or validly execute and return and cause such consent to be granted with respect to, all of such Covered Shares against any DCRC Alternative Transaction and any other action that would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or other obligation or agreement of SPAC under the Business Combination Agreement or result in any of the conditions set forth in Article IX of the Business Combination Agreement not being fulfilled, result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or other obligation or agreement of the Sponsor contained in this Sponsor Letter or change in any manner the dividend policy or capitalization of, including the voting rights of, any class of capital stock of SPAC (other than as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement);

vote (or execute and return an action by written consent), or cause to be voted at such meeting, or validly execute and return and cause such consent to be granted with respect to, all of such Covered Shares against any change in business, management or Board of Directors of SPAC (other than in connection with the Business Combination and the other proposals related to the Business Combination); and

not redeem any shares of DCRC Class A Common Stock owned by it in connection with such stockholder approval.

Prior to any valid termination of the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary under applicable Laws to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Sponsor Letter.

The obligations of the Sponsor specified in this paragraph 1 shall apply whether or not the Merger or any action described above is recommended by the DCRC Board.

The Sponsor and the Insiders hereby agree and acknowledge that the terms set forth in the Letter Agreement, including the lock-up provisions described in Section 7 of the Letter Agreement, shall continue to be in effect and are binding against such parties, and none of the Sponsor, the Insiders or SPAC shall amend, modify, limit or terminate such obligations without the prior written consent of the Company (which may be given in its sole discretion). The Sponsor and the Insiders hereby agree and acknowledge that the terms set forth in the Letter Agreement shall continue to be in effect and are binding against such parties, and none of the Sponsor, the Insiders or SPAC shall amend, modify, limit or terminate such obligations without the prior written consent of the Company (which may be given in its sole discretion).

Each of the Sponsor and the Insiders agrees that, after the date hereof, and until the Effective Time, it shall not directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Company, (a) sell, assign, transfer (including by operation of law), place a lien on, pledge, dispose of or otherwise encumber any of its DCRC Founders Stock or otherwise agree to do any of the foregoing, (b) deposit any of its DCRC Founders Stock into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect any of its DCRC Founders Stock that conflicts with any of the covenants or agreements set forth in this Sponsor Letter, (c) enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or undertaking with respect to the direct or indirect acquisition or sale, assignment, transfer (including by operation of law) or other disposition of any of its DCRC Founders Stock, (d) engage in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to, or which would (either alone or in connection with one or more events, developments or events (including the satisfaction or waiver of any conditions precedent)), lead to or result in a sale or disposition of its DCRC Founders Stock even if such DCRC Founders Stock would be disposed of by a person other than such person or (e) take any action that would have the effect of preventing or materially delaying the performance of its obligations hereunder.

The Sponsor hereby agrees that, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending at the Closing, the Sponsor shall not modify or amend any contract between or among Sponsor, anyone related by blood, marriage or adoption to the Sponsor or any affiliate of the Sponsor (other than SPAC and its Subsidiaries), on the one hand, and SPAC or any of SPAC’s subsidiaries, on the other hand.

5)	As used herein, (i) “*Beneficially Own*” has the meaning ascribed to it in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.

This Sponsor Letter, the Letter Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement and the other agreements referenced herein and therein constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby. This Sponsor Letter may not be changed, amended, modified or waived (other than to correct a typographical error) as to any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed by all parties hereto.

Subject to, and conditioned upon, the occurrence of the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted by Law and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of SPAC, each of the Sponsor and Insiders hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to assert or perfect any rights to adjustment or other anti-dilution protection with respect to the rate that the DCRC Founders Stock held by it convert into DCRC Class A Common Stock pursuant to Section 4.3 of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of SPAC or any other adjustment or anti-dilution protections that arise in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. Sponsor and each Insider further agree that they will each cause each share of DCRC Founders Stock held by it to convert into one share of DCRC Class A Common Stock effective prior to the Effective Time in accordance with the terms and provisions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement.

No party hereto may, except as set forth herein, assign either this Sponsor Letter or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other parties. Any purported assignment in violation of this paragraph shall be void and ineffectual and shall not operate to transfer or assign any interest or title to the purported assignee. This Sponsor Letter shall be binding on the Sponsor, SPAC and the Company and their respective successors, heirs, personal representatives and assigns and permitted transferees.

Nothing in this Sponsor Letter shall be construed to confer upon, or give to, any person or corporation other than the parties hereto any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Sponsor Letter or of any covenant, condition, stipulation, promise or agreement hereof. All covenants, conditions, stipulations, promises and agreements contained in this Sponsor Letter shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their successors, heirs, personal representatives and assigns and permitted transferees.

10)	This Sponsor Letter may be executed in any number of original, electronic or facsimile counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

11)

This Sponsor Letter shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision hereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of this Sponsor Letter or of any other term or provision hereof. Furthermore, in lieu of any such invalid or unenforceable term or provision, the parties hereto intend that there shall be added as a part of this Sponsor Letter a provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be valid and enforceable.

12)

This Sponsor Letter, and all claims or causes of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Sponsor Letter or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of Laws of another jurisdiction. Any Action based upon, arising out of or related to this Sponsor Letter or the transactions contemplated hereby may be brought in federal and state courts located in Wilmington in the State of Delaware, and each of the parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such Action, waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to personal jurisdiction, venue or convenience of forum, agrees that all claims in respect of the Action shall be heard and determined only in any such court, and agrees not to bring any Action arising out of or relating to this Sponsor Letter or the transactions contemplated hereby in any other court. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to affect the right of any party to serve process in any manner permitted by Law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any other party in any other jurisdiction, in each case, to enforce judgments obtained in any Action brought pursuant to this paragraph. The prevailing party in any such Action (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the non-prevailing party for its reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred with respect to such Action. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS SPONSOR LETTER OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

13)

Any notice, consent or request to be given in connection with any of the terms or provisions of this Sponsor Letter shall be in writing and shall be sent by express mail or similar private courier service, by certified mail (return receipt requested), by hand delivery or facsimile or e-mail transmission.

14)	This Sponsor Letter shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the Effective Time and (ii) the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms prior to the Closing.

ARTICLE I—CORPORATE OFFICES

1.1

REGISTERED OFFICE

The registered office of Solid Power, Inc. (the “Company”) shall be fixed in the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as the same may be amended from time to time.

1.2

OTHER OFFICES

The Company may at any time establish other offices.

ARTICLE II—MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

2.1

PLACE OF MEETINGS

Meetings of stockholders shall be held at a place, if any, within or outside the State of Delaware, determined by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”). The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting of stockholders shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication as authorized by Section 211(a)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). In the absence of any such designation or determination, stockholders’ meetings shall be held at the Company’s principal executive office.

2.2

ANNUAL MEETING

The annual meeting of stockholders shall be held each year. The Board of Directors shall designate the date and time of the annual meeting. At the annual meeting, directors shall be elected and any other proper business, brought in accordance with Section 2.4 of these bylaws, may be transacted. The Board of Directors acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board may cancel, postpone or reschedule any previously scheduled annual meeting at any time, before or after the notice for such meeting has been sent to the stockholders. For the purposes of these bylaws, the term “Whole Board” shall mean the total number of authorized directorships whether or not there exist any vacancies or other unfilled seats in previously authorized directorships.

2.3

SPECIAL MEETING

(a) A special meeting of the stockholders, other than as required by statute, may be called at any time by (i) the Board of Directors acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board, (ii) the chairperson of the Board of Directors, (iii) the chief executive officer or (iv) the president, but a special meeting may not be called by any other person or persons and any power of stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders is specifically denied. The Board of Directors acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board may cancel, postpone or reschedule any previously scheduled special meeting at any time, before or after the notice for such meeting has been sent to the stockholders.

-1-

(b) The notice of a special meeting shall include the purpose for which the meeting is called. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting by or at the direction of a majority of the Whole Board, the chairperson of the Board of Directors, the chief executive officer or the president. Nothing contained in this Section 2.3(b) shall be construed as limiting, fixing or affecting the time when a meeting of stockholders called by action of the Board of Directors may be held.

2.4 ADVANCE NOTICE PROCEDURES

(a) Annual Meetings of Stockholders.

(i) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors or the proposal of other business to be transacted by the stockholders at an annual meeting of stockholders may be made only (1) pursuant to the Company’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto); (2) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors; (3) as may be provided in the certificate of designations for any class or series of preferred stock; or (4) by any stockholder of the Company who (A) is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of the notice contemplated by Section 2.4(a)(ii); (B) is a stockholder of record on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of the annual meeting; (C) is a stockholder of record on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the annual meeting; (D) is a stockholder of record at the time of the annual meeting; and (E) complies with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.4(a).

(ii) For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting of stockholders by a stockholder pursuant to clause (4) of Section 2.4(a)(i), the stockholder must have given timely notice in writing to the secretary and any such nomination or proposed business must constitute a proper matter for stockholder action. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received by the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company no earlier than 8:00 a.m., local time, on the 120th day and no later than 5:00 p.m., local time, on the 90th day prior to the day of the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders. However, if no annual meeting of stockholders was held in the preceding year, or if the date of the applicable annual meeting has been changed by more than 25 days from the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, then to be timely such notice must be received by the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company no earlier than 8:00 a.m., local time, on the 120th day prior to the day of the annual meeting and no later than 5:00 p.m., local time, on the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the annual meeting was first made by the Company. In no event will the adjournment, rescheduling or postponement of any annual meeting, or any announcement thereof, commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. If the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors is increased and there is no public announcement naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors at least 10 days before the last day that a stockholder may deliver a notice of nomination pursuant to the foregoing provisions, then a stockholder’s notice required by this Section 2.4(a)(ii) will also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it is received by the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company no later than 5:00 p.m., local time, on the 10th day following the day on which such public announcement is first made. “Public announcement” means disclosure in a press release reported by a national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended and inclusive of rules and regulations thereunder, the “1934 Act”).

(D) a description of any other material relationships between such person and such person’s respective affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert with them, on the one hand, and such stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made, and their respective affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert with them, on the other hand;

Such update and supplement or additional information, if applicable, must be received by the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company, in the case of a request for additional information, promptly following a request therefor, which response must be delivered not later than such reasonable time as is specified in any such request from the Company or, in the case of any other update or supplement of any information, not later than five business days after the record date(s) for the meeting (in the case of any update and supplement required to be made as of the record date(s)), and not later than eight business days prior to the date for the meeting or any adjournment, rescheduling or postponement thereof (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of 10 business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment, rescheduling or postponement thereof). The failure to timely provide such update, supplement or additional information shall result in the nomination or proposal no longer being eligible for consideration at the meeting.

-5-

(b) Special Meetings of Stockholders. Except to the extent required by the DGCL, and subject to Section 2.3(a), special meetings of stockholders may be called only in accordance with the Company’s certificate of incorporation and these bylaws. Only such business will be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as has been brought before the special meeting pursuant to the Company’s notice of meeting. If the election of directors is included as business to be brought before a special meeting in the Company’s notice of meeting, then nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors at such special meeting may be made by any stockholder who (i) is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of the notice contemplated by this Section 2.4(b); (ii) is a stockholder of record on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of the special meeting; (iii) is a stockholder of record on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the special meeting; (iv) is a stockholder of record at the time of the special meeting; and (v) complies with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.4(b). For nominations to be properly brought by a stockholder before a special meeting pursuant to this Section 2.4(b), the stockholder’s notice must be received by the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company no earlier than 8:00 a.m., local time, on the 120th day prior to the day of the special meeting and no later than 5:00 p.m., local time, on the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the special meeting was first made. In no event will any adjournment, rescheduling or postponement of a special meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice. A stockholder’s notice to the Secretary must comply with the applicable notice requirements of Section 2.4(a)(iii).

(i) To be eligible to be a nominee by any stockholder for election as a director of the Company, the proposed nominee must provide to the secretary, in accordance with the applicable time periods prescribed for delivery of notice under Section 2.4(a)(ii) or Section 2.4(b):

(1) a signed and completed written questionnaire (in the form provided by the secretary at the written request of the nominating stockholder, which form will be provided by the secretary within 10 days of receiving such request) containing information regarding such nominee’s background and qualifications and such other information as may reasonably be required by the Company to determine the eligibility of such nominee to serve as a director of the Company or to serve as an independent director of the Company;

(2) a written representation and undertaking that, unless previously disclosed to the Company, such nominee is not, and will not become, a party to any voting agreement, arrangement, commitment, assurance or understanding with any person or entity as to how such nominee, if elected as a director, will vote on any issue;

(3) a written representation and undertaking that, unless previously disclosed to the Company, such nominee is not, and will not become, a party to any Third-Party Compensation Arrangement;

(4) a written representation and undertaking that, if elected as a director, such nominee would be in compliance, and will continue to comply, with the Company’s corporate governance guidelines as disclosed on the Company’s website, as amended from time to time; and

(5) a written representation and undertaking that such nominee, if elected, intends to serve a full term on the Board of Directors.

-6-

(ii) At the request of the Board of Directors, any person nominated by the Board of Directors for election as a director must furnish to the secretary the information that is required to be set forth in a stockholder’s notice of nomination that pertains to such nominee.

(iii) No person will be eligible to be nominated by a stockholder for election as a director of the Company unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.4. No business proposed by a stockholder will be conducted at a stockholder meeting except in accordance with this Section 2.4.

(iv) The chairperson of the applicable meeting of stockholders will, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with the procedures prescribed by these bylaws or that business was not properly brought before the meeting. If the chairperson of the meeting should so determine, then the chairperson of the meeting will so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination will be disregarded or such business will not be transacted, as the case may be.

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.4, unless otherwise required by law, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear in person at the meeting to present a nomination or other proposed business, such nomination will be disregarded or such proposed business will not be transacted, as the case may be, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such nomination or business may have been received by the Company and counted for purposes of determining a quorum. For purposes of this Section 2.4, to be considered a qualified representative of the stockholder, a person must be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such stockholder or must be authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting, and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting.

(vi) Without limiting this Section 2.4, a stockholder must also comply with all applicable requirements of the 1934 Act with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 2.4, it being understood that (1) any references in these bylaws to the 1934 Act are not intended to, and will not, limit any requirements applicable to nominations or proposals as to any other business to be considered pursuant to this Section 2.4; and (2) compliance with clause (4) of Section 2.4(a)(i) and with Section 2.4(b) are the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations or submit other business (other than as provided in Section 2.4(c)(vii)).

(vii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.4, the notice requirements set forth in these bylaws with respect to the proposal of any business pursuant to this Section 2.4 will be deemed to be satisfied by a stockholder if (1) such stockholder has submitted a proposal to the Company in compliance with Rule 14a-8 under the 1934 Act; and (2) such stockholder’s proposal has been included in a proxy statement that has been prepared by the Company to solicit proxies for the meeting of stockholders. Subject to Rule 14a-8 and other applicable rules and regulations under the 1934 Act, nothing in these bylaws will be construed to permit any stockholder, or give any stockholder the right, to include or have disseminated or described in the Company’s proxy statement any nomination of a director or any other business proposal.

-7-

2.5 NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDERS’ MEETINGS

Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a notice of the meeting shall be given which shall state the place, if any, date and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, if such date is different from the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Except as otherwise provided in the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, the notice of any meeting of stockholders shall be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting.

2.6 QUORUM

The holders of a majority of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of the stockholders. Where a separate vote by a class or series or classes or series is required, a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of such class or series or classes or series, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter, except as otherwise provided by law, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws.

If, however, such quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, then either (a) the chairperson of the meeting, or (b) the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the original meeting.

2.7 ADJOURNED MEETING; NOTICE

Except as otherwise provided by law, the certificate of incorporation, these bylaws or the rules of the stock exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares cast affirmatively or negatively shall be the act of the stockholders with respect to each such matter and broker non-votes and abstentions will be considered for purposes of establishing a quorum, but will not be considered as votes cast for or against any matter. Except as otherwise required by law, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Where a separate vote by a class or series or classes or series is required, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of the majority of the voting power of the shares of such class or series or classes or series cast affirmatively or negatively at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of such class or series or classes or series with respect to each such matter (and broker non-votes and abstentions will not be considered as votes cast for or against any such matter), except as otherwise provided by law, the certificate of incorporation, these bylaws or the rules of the stock exchange on which the securities of the Company are listed.

2.11 RECORD DATES

In order that the Company may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors and which record date shall not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting. If the Board of Directors so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board of Directors determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination.

-9-

If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.

A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance with the provisions of Section 213 of the DGCL and this Section 2.11 at the adjourned meeting.

In order that the Company may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Section 212 of the DGCL.

2.13 LIST OF STOCKHOLDERS ENTITLED TO VOTE

The Company shall prepare, at least 10 days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting; provided, however, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than 10 days before the meeting date, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth day before the meeting date, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. The Company shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting: (a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (b) during ordinary business hours, at the Company’s principal place of business. In the event that the Company determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Company may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the

-10-

Company. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then a list of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be examined by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then such list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting.

2.14 INSPECTORS OF ELECTION

Before any meeting of stockholders, the Company shall appoint an inspector or inspectors of election to act at the meeting or its adjournment. The Company may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act.

Such inspectors shall:

(a) ascertain the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each;

(b) determine the shares represented at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots;

(d) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors; and

(e) certify their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting, and their count of all votes and ballots.

The inspectors of election shall perform their duties impartially, in good faith, to the best of their ability and as expeditiously as is practical. If there are multiple inspectors of election, the decision, act or certificate of a majority is effective in all respects as the decision, act or certificate of all. Any report or certificate made by the inspectors of election is prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

A resignation which is conditioned upon the director failing to receive a specified vote for reelection as a director may provide that it is irrevocable. Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, when one or more directors resign from the Board of Directors, effective at a future date, a majority of the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, shall have power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations shall become effective.

Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws or permitted in the specific case by resolution of the Board of Directors, and subject to the rights of holders of preferred stock, vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors elected by all of the stockholders having the right to vote as a single class may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and not by stockholders.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board of Directors, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by statute, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws.

If the certificate of incorporation provides that one or more directors shall have more or less than one vote per director on any matter, except as may otherwise be expressly provided herein or therein and denoted with the phrase “notwithstanding the final paragraph of Section 3.8 of the bylaws” or language to similar effect, every reference in these bylaws to a majority or other proportion of the directors shall refer to a majority or other proportion of the votes of the directors.

Any person (whether or not then a director) may provide, whether through instruction to an agent or otherwise, that a consent to action will be effective at a future time (including a time determined upon the happening of an event), no later than 60 days after such instruction is given or such provision is made and such consent shall be deemed to have been given for purposes of this Section 3.9 at such effective time so long as such person is then a director and did not revoke the consent prior to such time.

ARTICLE VII - MANNER OF GIVING NOTICE AND WAIVER

7.1 NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDERS’ MEETINGS

Notice of any meeting of stockholders shall be given in the manner set forth in the DGCL.

7.2 NOTICE TO STOCKHOLDERS SHARING AN ADDRESS

Except as otherwise prohibited under the DGCL, without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Company under the provisions of the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws shall be effective if given by a

-20-

single written notice to stockholders who share an address if consented to by the stockholders at that address to whom such notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the Company. Any stockholder who fails to object in writing to the Company, within 60 days of having been given written notice by the Company of its intention to send the single notice, shall be deemed to have consented to receiving such single written notice. This Section 7.2 shall not apply to Sections 164, 296, 311, 312 or 324 of the DGCL.

7.3 NOTICE TO PERSON WITH WHOM COMMUNICATION IS UNLAWFUL

Whenever notice is required to be given, under the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, to any person with whom communication is unlawful, the giving of such notice to such person shall not be required and there shall be no duty to apply to any governmental authority or agency for a license or permit to give such notice to such person. Any action or meeting which shall be taken or held without notice to any such person with whom communication is unlawful shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. In the event that the action taken by the Company is such as to require the filing of a certificate under the DGCL, the certificate shall state, if such is the fact and if notice is required, that notice was given to all persons entitled to receive notice except such persons with whom communication is unlawful.

7.4 WAIVER OF NOTICE

Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, a written waiver, signed by the person entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time of the event for which notice is to be given, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws.

ARTICLE VIII - INDEMNIFICATION

8.1 INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS IN THIRD PARTY PROCEEDINGS

Subject to the other provisions of this Article VIII, the Company shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as now or hereinafter in effect, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”) (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Company, or is or was a director or officer of the Company serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such Proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such

-21-

person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful.

8.2 INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS IN ACTIONS BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY

Subject to the other provisions of this Article VIII, the Company shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as now or hereinafter in effect, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Company, or is or was a director or officer of the Company serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such Proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company; except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

8.3 SUCCESSFUL DEFENSE

To the extent that a present or former director or officer (for purposes of this Section 8.3 only, as such term is defined in Section 145(c)(1) of the DGCL) of the Company has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith. The Company may indemnify any other person who is not a present or former director or officer of the Company against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person to the extent he or she has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any suit or proceeding described in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein.

8.4 INDEMNIFICATION OF OTHERS

Subject to the other provisions of this Article VIII, the Company shall have power to indemnify its employees and agents, or any other persons, to the extent not prohibited by the DGCL or other applicable law. The Board of Directors shall have the power to delegate to any person or persons identified in subsections (1) through (4) of Section 145(d) of the DGCL the determination of whether employees or agents shall be indemnified.

-22-

8.5 ADVANCED PAYMENT OF EXPENSES

Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by an officer or director of the Company in defending any Proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding upon receipt of a written request therefor (together with documentation reasonably evidencing such expenses) and an undertaking by or on behalf of the person to repay such amounts if it shall ultimately be determined that the person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article VIII or the DGCL. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents of the Company or by persons serving at the request of the Company as directors, officers, employees or agents of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Company deems appropriate. The right to advancement of expenses shall not apply to any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) for which indemnity is excluded pursuant to these bylaws, but shall apply to any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) referenced in Section 8.6(b) or 8.6(c) prior to a determination that the person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise determined pursuant to Section 8.8, no advance shall be made by the Company to an officer of the Company (except by reason of the fact that such officer is or was a director of the Company, in which event this paragraph shall not apply) in any Proceeding if a determination is reasonably and promptly made (a) by a vote of the directors who are not parties to such Proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (b) by a committee of such directors designated by the vote of the majority of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (c) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that facts known to the decision-making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company.

8.6 LIMITATION ON INDEMNIFICATION

Subject to the requirements in Section 8.3 and the DGCL, the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify any person pursuant to this Article VIII in connection with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding):

(a) for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of such person under any statute, insurance policy, indemnity provision, vote or otherwise, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid;

(b) for an accounting or disgorgement of profits pursuant to Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act, or similar provisions of federal, state or local statutory law or common law, if such person is held liable therefor (including pursuant to any settlement arrangements);

(c) for any reimbursement of the Company by such person of any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation or of any profits realized by such person from the sale of securities of the Company, as required in each case under the 1934 Act (including any such reimbursements that arise from an accounting restatement of the Company pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), or the payment to the Company of profits arising from the purchase and sale by such person of securities in violation of Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act), if such person is held liable therefor (including pursuant to any settlement arrangements);

-23-

(d) initiated by such person, including any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by such person against the Company or its directors, officers, employees, agents or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Board of Directors authorized the Proceeding (or the relevant part of the Proceeding) prior to its initiation, (ii) the Company provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under applicable law, (iii) otherwise required to be made under Section 8.7 or (iv) otherwise required by applicable law; or

(e) if prohibited by applicable law.

8.7 DETERMINATION; CLAIM

If a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Article VIII is not paid in full within 90 days after receipt by the Company of the written request therefor, the claimant shall be entitled to an adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction of his or her entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of expenses. The Company shall indemnify such person against any and all expenses that are actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any action for indemnification or advancement of expenses from the Company under this Article VIII, to the extent such person is successful in such action, and to the extent not prohibited by law. In any such suit, the Company shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, have the burden of proving that the claimant is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses.

8.8 NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS

The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VIII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the certificate of incorporation or any statute, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. The Company is specifically authorized to enter into individual contracts with any or all of its directors, officers, employees or agents respecting indemnification and advancement of expenses, to the fullest extent not prohibited by the DGCL or other applicable law.

8.9 INSURANCE

The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of the DGCL.

8.10 SURVIVAL

The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred by this Article VIII shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

-24-

8.11 EFFECT OF REPEAL OR MODIFICATION

A right to indemnification or to advancement of expenses arising under a provision of the certificate of incorporation or a bylaw shall not be eliminated or impaired by an amendment to or repeal or elimination of the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws after the occurrence of the act or omission that is the subject of the civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification or advancement of expenses is sought, unless the provision in effect at the time of such act or omission explicitly authorizes such elimination or impairment after such action or omission has occurred.

8.12 CERTAIN DEFINITIONS

For purposes of this Article VIII, references to the “Company” shall include, in addition to the resulting company, any constituent company (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent company, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article VIII with respect to the resulting or surviving company as such person would have with respect to such constituent company if its separate existence had continued. For purposes of this Article VIII, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Company” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Company” as referred to in this Article VIII.

If such Written Consent Party is an individual, the signature to this agreement is genuine and such Written Consent Party has legal competence and capacity to execute the same.

5.2 Ownership of the Company Securities. As of the date hereof, such Written Consent Party is the owner of the Company Securities set forth opposite such Written Consent Party’s name on Schedule A, free and clear of any and all Liens, options, rights of first refusal and limitations on such Written Consent Party’s voting rights, other than transfer restrictions under the Right of

Such Written Consent Party has sole voting power (including the right to control such vote as contemplated herein), power of disposition and power to issue instructions with respect to all Company Securities currently owned by such Written Consent Party, and the power to agree to all of the matters applicable to such Written Consent Party set forth in this Agreement. As of the date hereof, such Written Consent Party does not own any Company Securities other than the Company Securities set forth opposite such Written Consent Party’s name on Schedule A. As of the date hereof, such Written Consent Party does not own any rights to purchase or acquire any Company Securities, except for the Company Warrants and Company Options set forth opposite such Written Consent Party’s name on Schedule A.

5.3 No Conflict; Consents.

(a) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Written Consent Party does not, and the performance by such Written Consent Party of the obligations under this Agreement and the compliance by such Written Consent Party with any provisions hereof do not and will not: (i) conflict with or violate any Law applicable to such Written Consent Party, (ii) if such Written Consent Party is an entity, conflict with or violate the certificate of incorporation or bylaws or any equivalent organizational documents of the Company or such Written Consent Party, or (iii) result in any breach of, or constitute a default (or an event, which with notice or lapse of time or both, would become a material default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the creation of a Lien on any of the Company Securities owned by such Written Consent Party pursuant to any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease, license, permit, franchise or other instrument or obligation to which such Written Consent Party is a party or by which such Written Consent Party is bound, except, in the case of clauses (i) and (iii), as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to materially impair the ability of such Written Consent Party to perform its obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Written Consent Party does not, and the performance of this Agreement by such Written Consent Party will not, require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or filing or notification to, or expiration of any waiting period by any Governmental Authority or any other Person with respect to such Written Consent Party, other than those set forth as conditions to Closing in the Business Combination Agreement and other than those pursuant to, in compliance with or required to be made under the Exchange Act.

5.4 Absence of Litigation. As of the date hereof, there is no Action pending against, or, to the knowledge of such Written Consent Party after reasonable inquiry, threatened against such Written Consent Party that would reasonably be expected to materially impair the ability of such Written Consent Party to perform its obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

5.5 Absence of Other Voting Agreement.

6. Fiduciary Duties. The covenants and agreements set forth herein shall not prevent any designee of any Written Consent Party from serving on the board of directors of the Company or from taking any action, subject to the provisions of the Business Combination Agreement, while acting in such designee’s capacity as a director or officer of the Company. Each Written Consent Party is entering into this Agreement solely in its capacity as the owner of such Written Consent Party’s Company Securities. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (x) the Written Consent Party shall not be responsible for the actions of the Company or the board of directors of the Company (or any committee thereof), any subsidiary of the Company, or any officers (in their capacity as such), directors (in their capacity as such), employees (in their capacity as such) and professional advisors of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Company Related Parties”) or any other owner of equity securities of the Company (or Affiliate of such owner), (y) the Written Consent Party is not making any representations or warranties with respect to the actions of any of the Company Related Parties or any other owner of equity securities of the Company (or Affiliate of such owner) and (z) any breach by the Company or any other owner of equity securities of the Company (or Affiliate of such owner) of its respective obligations under the Business Combination Agreement shall not be considered a breach of this Agreement (it being understood that, for the avoidance of doubt, such Written Consent Party or his, her or its representatives other than any such representative that is a Company Related Party) shall remain responsible for any breach by such Written Consent Party or his, her or its representatives of this Agreement).

7. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect at the Expiration Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Section 4.5, this Section 7 and Section 9 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and continue in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms. Upon termination of this Agreement, except as provided for in Section 4.5, none of the parties hereto shall have any further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement; provided, that nothing in this Section 7 shall relieve any party hereto of liability for any fraud or willful breach of this Agreement prior to its termination committed by such party.

8. No Ownership Interest. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in DCRC any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to any Written Consent Party’s Company Securities. All rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to each Written Consent Party’s Company Securities shall remain fully vested in and belong to such Written Consent Party, and DCRC shall have no authority to direct any Written Consent Party in the voting or disposition of any of Company Securities except as otherwise provided herein.

9. Miscellaneous.

9.1 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

9.2 Non-survival of Representations and Warranties. None of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement or in any schedule, instrument or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Expiration Time.

No party hereto may assign, directly or indirectly, including by operation of Law, either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other parties hereto, except with respect to a Transfer completed in accordance with Section 2.1. Subject to the first sentence of this Section 9.3, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any assignment in violation of this Section 9.3 shall be void.

9.4 Amendments and Modifications. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.

Each of the parties hereby further waives (1) any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at Law would be adequate and (2) any requirement under any Law to post security or a bond as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

In connection with the Transaction, certain other “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) or institutional “accredited investors” (as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act, and each such institutional “qualified institutional buyer” or “accredited investor,” an “Other Subscriber”), have entered into subscription agreements with the Issuer substantially similar to this Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which such Other Subscribers have agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and the Issuer has agreed to issue and sell to such Other Subscribers, on the Closing Date, Class A Shares at the Share Purchase Price (the “Other Subscription Agreements” and collectively, the “Offering”).

(iii) the Issuer shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with all covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Subscription Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by it at or prior to the Closing, except where the failure of such performance, satisfaction or compliance would not or would not reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of the Issuer to consummate the Closing;

(iv) no governmental authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any judgment, order, law, rule or regulation (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) which is then in effect and has the effect of making consummation of the Subscription illegal or otherwise preventing or prohibiting consummation of the Subscription and no governmental authority shall have instituted or threatened in writing a proceeding seeking to impose any such restraint or prohibition;

(v) without Subscriber’s prior written consent, there shall not have been any waiver, amendment or modification to the Combination Agreement (as the same exists on the date of this Subscription Agreement) that would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the economic benefits that Subscriber would reasonably expect to receive under this Subscription Agreement;

e. At the Closing, the parties hereto shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take such additional actions as the parties reasonably may determine to be necessary to consummate the Subscription.

f. In the event the closing of the Transaction does not occur within one (1) business day of the anticipated Closing Date identified in the Closing Notice, the Issuer shall promptly (but not later than one (1) business day thereafter) return the Purchase Price without any deduction for or on account of any tax, withholding, charges, or set-off to Subscriber by wire

transfer in immediately available funds to the account specified by Subscriber, and any book entries shall be deemed cancelled. Notwithstanding such return, unless and until this Subscription Agreement has been terminated pursuant to Section 7 herein, (i) a failure to close on the anticipated Closing Date shall not, by itself, be deemed to be a failure of any of the conditions to Closing set forth in this Section 2 to be satisfied or waived on or prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) Subscriber shall, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, remain obligated (A) to redeliver the Purchase Price to the Issuer following the Issuer’s delivery to Subscriber of a new Closing Notice and (B) to consummate the Closing upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.

d. The execution and delivery by the Issuer of the Transaction Documents, and the performance by the Issuer of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including the issuance and sale of the Acquired Shares and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated herein and therein, do not and will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Issuer pursuant to the terms of (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license

or other agreement or instrument to which the Issuer is a party or by which the Issuer is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Issuer is subject, which would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on (x) the business, general affairs, properties, prospects, financial condition, stockholders’ equity, management, or results of operations of the Issuer, (y) the validity of the Acquired Shares or (z) the legal authority or ability of the Issuer to timely comply with the terms of the Combination Agreement or this Subscription Agreement, including the sale and issuance of the Acquired Shares (a “Material Adverse Effect”); (ii) the organizational documents of the Issuer; or (iii) any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Issuer or any of its properties that would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

The Issuer is not in default or violation (and no event has occurred which, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or violation) of any term, condition or provision of (i) the organizational documents of the Issuer, (ii) any loan or credit agreement, guarantee, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease or other agreement, permit, franchise or license to which the Issuer is now a party or by which the Issuer’s properties or assets are bound or (iii) any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Issuer or any of its properties, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), for defaults or violations that have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

g. The Issuer is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority, self-regulatory organization or other person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Issuer of this Subscription Agreement (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Acquired Shares), other than (i) the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) of the Registration Statement (as defined below), (ii) filings required by applicable state or federal securities laws, (iii) the filings required in accordance with Section 9(o), (iv) those required by Nasdaq, including with respect to obtaining stockholder approval, and (v) the failure of which to obtain would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

Other than DCRC Merger Sub Inc., as of the date hereof, the Issuer has no subsidiaries and does not own, directly or indirectly, interests or investments (whether equity or debt) in any person, whether incorporated or unincorporated. There are no stockholder agreements, voting trusts or other agreements or understandings to which the Issuer is a party or by which it is bound relating to the voting of any Equity Interests, other than (A) the letter agreements entered into by the Issuer in connection with the Issuer’s initial public offering on March 26, 2021 pursuant to which the Issuer’s sponsors and the Issuer’s executive officers and independent directors agreed to vote in favor of the Transaction, and (B) as contemplated by the Combination Agreement. Except as set forth above and pursuant to the Other Subscription Agreements, the Combination Agreement and the other agreements and arrangements referred to therein or in the SEC Documents (as defined below), as of the date of this Subscription Agreement, there are no outstanding options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for, purchase or acquire from the Issuer any Common Stock, Preferred Stock or other equity interests in the Issuer, or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such equity interests.

i. The Issuer has not received any written communication from a governmental entity alleging that the Issuer is not in compliance with or is in default or violation of any applicable law, except where such non-compliance, default or violation would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

j. The issued and outstanding Class A Shares are, and upon the closing of the Transaction will be, registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and listed on Nasdaq. There is no suit, action, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the Issuer’s knowledge, threatened against the Issuer by Nasdaq or the Commission with respect to any intention by such entity to deregister the Class A Shares or prohibit or terminate the listing of the Class A Shares on Nasdaq. The Issuer has taken no action that is designed to terminate the registration of the Class A Shares under the Exchange Act or the listing of the Class A Shares on Nasdaq.

k. Assuming the accuracy of Subscriber’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 4, no registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Acquired Shares by the Issuer to Subscriber in the manner contemplated by this Subscription Agreement.

l. Neither the Issuer nor any person acting on its behalf has engaged or will engage in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D of the Securities Act) in connection with any offer or sale of the Acquired Shares.

m. Neither the Issuer nor Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Sponsor III LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), has entered into any subscription agreement, side letter or other agreement with any Other Subscriber or any other investor in connection with such Other Subscriber’s or investor’s direct or indirect investment in the Issuer other than (i) the Other Subscription Agreements and (ii) the letter agreement, dated March 23, 2021, by and among the Sponsor, the Issuer and the other parties thereto. The Other Subscription Agreements have not been amended in any material respect following the date of this Subscription Agreement and reflect the same Share Purchase Price and terms that are no more favorable to any such Other Subscriber thereunder than the terms of this Subscription Agreement.

n. The Issuer has made available to Subscriber (including via the Commission’s EDGAR system) a copy of each form, report, statement, schedule, prospectus, proxy, registration statement and other document, if any, filed by the Issuer with the Commission since its initial registration of the Class A Shares (the “SEC Documents”), which SEC Documents, as of their respective filing dates, complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder. None of the SEC Documents filed under the Exchange Act (except to the extent that information contained in any SEC Document has been superseded by a later timely filed SEC Document) contained, when filed, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in the case of any SEC Document that is a registration statement, or included, when filed, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in the case of all other SEC Documents; provided, that, with respect to the proxy statement to be filed by the Issuer with respect to the Transaction or any of its affiliates included in any SEC Document or filed as an exhibit thereto, the representation and warranty in this sentence relating to any person or entity other than the Issuer is made to the Issuer’s knowledge. Except with respect to the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2021, the Issuer has timely filed each report, statement, schedule, prospectus and registration statement that the Issuer was required to file with the Commission since its inception. There are no material outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters from the Staff of the Commission with respect to any of the SEC Documents. Subject to the immediately following sentence, the financial statements of the Issuer included in the SEC Documents comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Issuer as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, year-end audit adjustments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no representation is being made with respect to the accounting treatment of the issued and outstanding DCRC Warrants arising in connection with any required restatement of DCRC’s historical financial statements, or as to any deficiencies in disclosure (including with respect to financial statement presentation or accounting and disclosure controls) arising from the treatment of such warrants as equity rather than liabilities.

o. There is no (i) suit, action, proceeding or arbitration before a governmental authority or arbitrator pending, or, to the Issuer’s knowledge, threatened against the Issuer, or (ii) judgment, decree, injunction, ruling or order of any governmental entity or arbitrator outstanding against the Issuer, except for such matters as have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

p. The Issuer has not paid, and is not obligated to pay, any brokerage, finder’s or other commission or similar fee in connection with its issuance and sale of the Acquired Shares, except for placement fees payable to J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (“J.P. Morgan”), Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citigroup”) and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (“Stifel”), in their capacity as placement agents for the offer and sale of the Acquired Shares (in such capacity, the “Placement Agents”).

q. None of the Issuer, its subsidiaries or any of their affiliates, nor any person acting on their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require registration of the issuance of any of the Acquired Shares under the Securities Act, whether through integration with prior offerings pursuant to Rule 502(a) of the Securities Act or otherwise.

r. The Issuer is not, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Acquired Shares and consummation of the Transaction, will not be, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

s. The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Acquired Shares may be pledged by Subscriber in connection with a bona fide margin agreement, provided such pledge shall be (i) pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or (ii) pursuant to, and in accordance with, a registration statement that is effective under the Securities Act at the time of such pledge, and Subscriber effecting a pledge of Acquired Shares shall not be required to provide the Issuer with any notice thereof; provided, however, that neither the Issuer or their counsel shall be required to take any action (or refrain from taking any action) in connection with any such pledge, other than providing any such lender of such margin agreement with an acknowledgment that the Acquired Shares are not subject to any contractual prohibition on pledging or lock up, the form of such acknowledgment to be subject to review and comment by the Issuer in all respects.

4. Subscriber Representations and Warranties. Subscriber represents and warrants that:

a. Subscriber has been duly formed or incorporated and is validly existing in good standing (to the extent the concept of good standing is applicable in such jurisdiction) under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation, with the requisite entity power and authority to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement.

b. This Subscription Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Subscriber. This Subscription Agreement is enforceable against Subscriber in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally or (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.

c. The execution and delivery by Subscriber of this Subscription Agreement, and the performance by Subscriber of its obligations under this Subscription Agreement, including the purchase of the Acquired Shares and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated herein, will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of Subscriber pursuant to the terms of (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which Subscriber is a party or is bound or to which any of the property or assets of Subscriber is subject, which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the legal authority of Subscriber to comply in all material respects with the terms of this Subscription Agreement (a “Subscriber Material Adverse Effect”); (ii) the organizational documents of Subscriber; or (iii) any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over Subscriber or any of Subscriber’s properties that would reasonably be expected to have a Subscriber Material Adverse Effect.

d. Subscriber (i) is a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or an institutional “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3), (7), (8), (9), (12) or (13) under the Securities Act), in each case, satisfying the applicable requirements set forth on Schedule A, (ii) is acquiring the Acquired Shares only for its own account, or if Subscriber is subscribing for the Acquired Shares as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, each owner of such account is a “qualified institutional buyer” or an institutional “accredited investor” (each as defined above) and Subscriber has full investment discretion with respect to such accounts, and the full power and authority to make the acknowledgements, representations and agreements herein on behalf of owners of such accounts and (iii) is not acquiring the Acquired Shares with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act. Subscriber has completed Schedule A following the signature page hereto and the information contained therein is accurate and complete. Subscriber is not an entity formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Acquired Shares and is an “institutional account” as defined by FINRA Rule 4512(c). Accordingly, Subscriber is aware that this offering of the Acquired Shares meets the exemptions from filing under FINRA Rule 5123(b)(1)(A), (C) or (J).

e. Subscriber understands that the Acquired Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act and that the Acquired Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act. Subscriber understands that the Acquired Shares may not be resold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of by Subscriber absent an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, except (i) to the Issuer or a subsidiary thereof, (ii) in an “offshore transaction” within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (iii) pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), provided that all of the applicable conditions thereof have been met, or (iv) pursuant to another applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and that any certificates or book-entry records representing the Acquired Shares shall contain the legend set forth in Section 2(b)(ii). Subscriber acknowledges that the Acquired Shares will not be eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A. Subscriber understands and agrees that the Acquired Shares will be subject to the foregoing restrictions and, as a result, Subscriber may not be able to readily resell the Acquired Shares and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the Acquired Shares for an indefinite period of time. Subscriber understands that it has been advised to consult legal counsel prior to making any offer, resale, pledge or transfer of the Acquired Shares.

f. Subscriber understands and agrees that Subscriber is purchasing the Acquired Shares directly from the Issuer. Subscriber further acknowledges that there have been no representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made to Subscriber by the Issuer or any of its officers or directors, expressly or by implication, other than those representations, warranties, covenants and agreements included in this Subscription Agreement.

g. Subscriber’s acquisition and holding of the Acquired Shares will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), section 4975 of the Code, or any applicable similar law.

h. In making its decision to subscribe for and purchase the Acquired Shares, Subscriber represents that it has relied solely upon its own independent investigation, the investor presentation provided to Subscriber and the Issuer’s representations and warranties in this Subscription Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Subscriber has not relied on any statements or other information provided by the Placement Agents or any of their respective affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or representatives, concerning the Issuer or the Acquired Shares or the offer and sale of the Acquired Shares. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that Subscriber has received and has had the opportunity to review such information as Subscriber deems necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Acquired Shares, including with respect to the Issuer and the Transaction. Subscriber represents and agrees that Subscriber and Subscriber’s professional advisor(s), if any, have had the opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such information as Subscriber and such Subscriber’s professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Acquired Shares.

i. Subscriber became aware of this offering of the Acquired Shares solely by means of direct contact between Subscriber and the Issuer or the Placement Agents, and the Acquired Shares were offered to Subscriber solely by direct contact between Subscriber and the Issuer or the Placement Agents. Subscriber acknowledges that the Issuer represents and warrants that the Acquired Shares (i) were not offered by any form of general solicitation or general advertising and (ii) are not being offered in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, or any state securities laws.

j. Subscriber acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Acquired Shares. Subscriber is able to fend for itself in the transactions contemplated herein, has exercised its independent judgment in evaluating its investment in the Acquired Shares, has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Acquired Shares, and Subscriber has sought such accounting, legal, economic and tax advice as Subscriber has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision. Accordingly, Subscriber acknowledges that the offering of the Acquired Shares meets the institutional account exemptions from filing under FINRA Rule 2111(b).

k. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that neither the Placement Agents nor any affiliate of any of the Placement Agents (nor any officer, director, employee or representative of any of the Placement Agent or any affiliate thereof) has provided Subscriber with any information or advice with respect to the Acquired Shares nor is such information or advice necessary or desired. Subscriber acknowledges that none of the Placement Agents, affiliates of the Placement Agents or their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives or controlling persons (i) has made any representation as to the Issuer or the quality of the Acquired Shares, (ii) has made an independent investigation with respect to the Issuer or the Acquired Shares or the accuracy, completeness or adequacy of any information supplied to Subscriber by the Issuer, (iii) has acted as Subscriber’s financial advisor or fiduciary in connection with the issue and purchase of the Acquired Shares, (iv) has provided a disclosure or offering document in connection with the offer and sale of the Acquired Shares or (v) has acted as an underwriter or in any other capacity or as a fiduciary for the Issuer, Solid Power, or any other person or entity in connection with the Transaction.

l. Alone, or together with any professional advisors, Subscriber represents and acknowledges that Subscriber has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the Acquired Shares and determined that the Acquired Shares are a suitable investment for Subscriber and that Subscriber is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of Subscriber’s investment in the Issuer. Subscriber acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.

5. Additional Subscriber Agreement. Subscriber hereby agrees that, from the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date or earlier termination of this Subscription Agreement, neither Subscriber nor any person or entity acting on behalf of Subscriber or pursuant to any understanding with Subscriber will engage in any Short Sales with respect to the Class A Shares. For purposes of this Section 5, “Short Sales” means all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act, and all short positions effected through any direct and indirect stock pledges (other than pledges in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or in the ordinary course of business as part of prime brokerage arrangements), forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, swaps or similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), or sales or other short transactions through non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers, in each case, solely to the extent it has the same economic effect as a “short sale” (as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) nothing herein shall prohibit other entities under common management or that share an investment advisor with Subscriber (including Subscriber’s controlled affiliates and/or affiliates) from entering into any Short Sales, (ii) in the case of a Subscriber that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Subscriber’s assets, the restriction set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Acquired Shares covered by this Subscription Agreement, and (iii) this Section 5 shall not apply to (a) any sale (including the exercise of any redemption right) of securities of the Company (i) held by Subscriber, its controlled affiliates or any person or entity acting on behalf of Subscriber or any of its controlled affiliates prior to the execution of this Subscription Agreement or (ii) purchased by Subscriber, its controlled affiliates or any person or entity acting on behalf of Subscriber or any of its controlled affiliates in open market transactions after the execution of this Subscription Agreement or (b) ordinary course, non-speculative hedging transactions.

6. Registration Rights.

a. The Issuer agrees that, within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date (the “Filing Date”), the Issuer will file with the Commission (at the Issuer’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”), registering the resale of the Acquired Shares naming the Subscriber as a selling shareholder thereunder, which Registration Statement may also

include (i) Class A Shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants, (ii) Class A Shares and other securities held by the Sponsor, its affiliates and certain directors of the Issuer, and (iii) Class A Shares issued pursuant to the Combination Agreement, and the Issuer shall use 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 Commission notifies the Issuer that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the Closing Date and (ii) the 5th business day after the date the Issuer is initially notified (orally or in writing) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such date, the “Effectiveness Date”); provided, however, that if the Commission is closed for operations or otherwise operating at reduced capacity due to a government shutdown, the Effectiveness Date shall be extended by the same amount of days that the Commission remains closed for operations or at reduced capacity; provided, further that the Issuer’s obligations to include the Acquired Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing in writing to the Issuer such information regarding Subscriber, the securities of the Issuer held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Acquired Shares as shall be reasonably requested by the Issuer to effect the registration of the Acquired Shares, and Subscriber shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Issuer may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing that the Issuer shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement as permitted hereunder; provided, further, that the Subscriber 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 Acquired Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commission prevents the Issuer from including the shares proposed to be registered under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 under the Securities Act for the resale of the Acquired Shares by the applicable stockholders or otherwise (a “Rule 415 Cutback”), such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Acquired Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Acquired Shares as is permitted by the Commission. In such event, the number of Acquired Shares to be registered for each selling stockholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling stockholders and the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as practicable and as allowed by the Commission, one or more registration statements to register the resale of the Acquired Shares that were not registered on the initial Registration Statement. Upon notification by the Commission that the Registration Statement has been declared effective, within two (2) business days thereafter, the Issuer shall file the final prospectus under Rule 424 under the Securities Act. The Issuer will provide a draft of the Registration Statement to Subscriber for review at least two (2) business days in advance of filing the Registration Statement. In no event shall Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless requested by the Commission; provided, that if the Commission requests that Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, Subscriber will have the option, in its sole and absolute discretion, to either (i) have an opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement or (ii) be included as such in the Registration Statement. For purposes of clarification, any failure by the Issuer to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Date or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Date shall not otherwise relieve the Issuer of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement as set forth above in this Section 6.

b. In the case of the registration effected by the Issuer pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer shall, upon reasonable request, inform Subscriber as to the status of such registration. At its expense the Issuer shall:

(i) except for such times as the Issuer 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 continuously effective with respect to Subscriber, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of material misstatements or omissions, until the earliest of the following: (i) Subscriber ceases to hold any Acquired Shares, (ii) the date all Acquired Shares held by Subscriber 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 Issuer to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) or Rule 144(i)(2), as applicable, and (iii) two years from the Effectiveness Date of the Registration Statement.

(ii) advise Subscriber within two (2) business days:

(1) when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission and when such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

(2) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information;

(3) 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;

(4) of the receipt by the Issuer 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

(5) subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires making changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, any Registration Statement does not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or does not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any prospectus does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or does not omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Issuer shall not, when advising Subscriber of such events, provide Subscriber with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Issuer other than to the extent required to provide notice to Subscriber of the occurrence of the events listed in (1) through (5) above may be deemed to be material, nonpublic information;

(iii) 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) upon the occurrence of any event contemplated above, except for such times the Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Issuer 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 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;

(v) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Acquired Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Class A Shares issued by the Issuer have been listed;

(vi) use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Acquired Shares contemplated hereby and to enable Subscriber to sell the Acquired Shares under Rule 144; and

(vii) subject to receipt from Subscriber by the Issuer and its transfer agent of customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Issuer and the transfer agent in connection therewith, including, if required by the transfer agent, an opinion of the Issuer’s counsel, to be provided by the Issuer, at the Issuer’s sole expense, to the effect that the removal of such restrictive legends in such circumstances may be effected under the Securities Act, Subscriber may request that the Issuer remove any legend from the book entry position evidencing its Acquired Shares following the earliest time such Acquired Shares (A) have been or are about to be sold or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement or (B) have been or are about to be or are eligible to be sold without restriction under, and without the Issuer being in compliance with the current public information requirements of Rule 144. If restrictive legends may be removed for such Acquired Shares pursuant to the foregoing, the Issuer shall, in accordance with the provisions of this section and within two (2) business days of any request thereof from Subscriber 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 instructions that (i) the transfer agent shall make a new, unlegended entry for such book entry Acquired Shares and (ii) in the event the Acquired Shares are about to be sold, the transfer agent shall transfer all of the unlegended Acquired Shares to the Subscriber as promptly as possible. The Issuer shall be responsible for the fees of its legal counsel and transfer agent and all DTC fees associated with such issuance. The Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the legend removal referenced above apply to all shares held by the Subscriber in a single transaction.

c. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require Subscriber not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Issuer or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or an event the Issuer’s board of directors reasonably believes, upon the advice of legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by the Issuer in the Registration Statement of material information that the Issuer 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 Issuer’s board of directors, upon the advice of 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 Issuer may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than two occasions, for more than sixty (60) 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 the Issuer of a Suspension Event (which notice shall not contain any material, nonpublic information or subject Subscriber to any duty of confidentiality) while the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement 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 not misleading, or any related prospectus includes any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, Subscriber agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Acquired Shares under the Registration Statement until Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Issuer agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatements or omissions referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Issuer that it may resume such offers and sales and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of information included in such written notice, and the fact that such notice has been delivered by the Issuer, unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by the Issuer, Subscriber will deliver to the Issuer or, in Subscriber’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Acquired Shares in Subscriber’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy shall not apply (A) to the extent Subscriber is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (x) to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (y) 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.

d. Subscriber may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Issuer requesting that Subscriber not receive notices from the Issuer otherwise required by this Section 6; provided, however, that Subscriber may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from Subscriber (unless subsequently revoked), (i) the Issuer shall not deliver any such notices to Subscriber and Subscriber shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and (ii) each time prior to Subscriber’s intended use of an effective Registration Statement, Subscriber will notify the Issuer 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 6(d)) and the related suspension period remains in effect, the Issuer will so notify Subscriber, within one (1) business day of Subscriber’s notification to the Issuer, by delivering to Subscriber a copy of such previous notice of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide Subscriber with the related notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event immediately upon its availability.

e. The Issuer shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Subscription Agreement, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Subscriber (to the extent a seller under the Registration Statement), its directors, officers, agents and employees and each person who controls Subscriber (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the directors, officers, agents and employees of such controlling person to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all out-of-pocket losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including reasonable external attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or in any amendment or supplement thereto, required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any prospectus included in the Registration Statement or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except only to the extent that such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding Subscriber furnished in writing to the Issuer by Subscriber expressly for use therein or Subscriber has omitted a material fact from such information or otherwise violated the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 6 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Issuer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), nor shall the Issuer be liable for any Losses to the extent they arise out of or are based upon a violation which occurs (A) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by Subscriber expressly for use in the Registration Statement, (B) in connection with any failure of such person, to the extent required, to deliver or cause to be delivered a prospectus made available by the Issuer in a timely manner or (C) in connection with any offers or sales effected by or on behalf of Subscriber in violation of Section 6(c) hereof. The Issuer shall notify Subscriber reasonably promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 6(e) of which the Issuer receives notice in writing. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Acquired Shares by Subscriber.

f. Subscriber shall, severally and not jointly with any Other Subscriber, indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, its directors, officers, agents and employees, and each person who controls the Issuer (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or in any amendment or supplement thereto or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any prospectus included in the Registration Statement or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, with respect to (i) and/or (ii), only to the extent that such

untrue or alleged untrue statements or omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding Subscriber furnished in writing to the Issuer by Subscriber expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 6(f) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of Subscriber (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In no event shall the liability of Subscriber be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by Subscriber upon the sale of the Acquired Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Subscriber shall notify the Issuer promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 6(f) of which Subscriber is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Acquired Shares by Subscriber.

g. 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 judgment of any indemnified party, based on advice of counsel, 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.

h. If the indemnification provided under this Section 6 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any Losses, 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 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 Subscriber shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such Subscriber from the sale of Acquired 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. 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 6(h) from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

7. Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereto 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 the Combination Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with its terms, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement, (c) at the election of Subscriber upon a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Issuer set forth in this Subscription Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of the Issuer shall have become untrue, in either case, such that the conditions set forth in Section 2(d) are not capable of being satisfied by the End Date (as defined below) and (d) at the election of Subscriber, on or after the date that is 180 days after the date hereof (the “End Date”) if the Closing has not occurred on or prior to 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 reasonable and documented out-of-pocket losses, liabilities or damages arising from such breach. The Issuer shall promptly notify Subscriber of the termination of the Combination Agreement promptly after the termination of such agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, if any termination hereof occurs after the delivery by the Subscriber of the Purchase Price for the Acquired Shares, the Issuer shall promptly (but not later than one business day thereafter) return the Purchase Price to the Subscriber by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by Subscriber without any deduction for or on account of any tax, withholding, charges, or set-off.

8. Trust Account Waiver. Subscriber acknowledges that the Issuer is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Issuer and businesses or assets. Subscriber further acknowledges that, as described in the Issuer’s prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated March 23, 2021 (the “Prospectus”), available at www.sec.gov, substantially all of the Issuer’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of the Issuer’s initial public offering and private placements of its securities, and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of the Issuer, its public stockholders and the underwriters of the Issuer’s initial public offering. The cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only for the purposes set forth in the Prospectus, except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Issuer to pay its tax obligations, if any. For and in consideration of the Issuer entering into this Subscription Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Subscriber, on behalf of itself and its representatives, hereby irrevocable waives all right, title and interest, or claim of any kind they have or may have in the future arising out of this Subscription Agreement, 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, however, that nothing in this Section 8 shall (x) serve to limit or prohibit the Subscriber’s right to pursue a claim against Issuer for legal relief against assets held outside the Trust Account, for specific performance or other equitable relief, (y) serve to limit or prohibit any claims that the Subscriber may have in the future against

Issuer’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds) or (z) be deemed to limit Subscriber’s right, title, interest or claim to the Trust Account by virtue of Subscriber’s record or beneficial ownership of securities of the Issuer acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, including but not limited to any redemption right with respect to such securities of the Issuer.

9. Miscellaneous.

a. Each party hereto acknowledges that the other party hereto and the Placement Agents will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Subscription Agreement. Prior to the Closing, each party hereto agrees to promptly notify each party hereto if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties made by such party as set forth herein are no longer accurate in all material respects (or in all respects if such acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations or warranties are qualified by materiality, Material Adverse Effect or Subscriber Material Adverse Effect). The parties acknowledge and agree that the Placement Agents are third-party beneficiaries of the representations and warranties of the parties contained in this Subscription Agreement.

b. Each of the Issuer and Subscriber is irrevocably authorized to produce this Subscription Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby to the extent required by law or by regulatory bodies; provided that, with respect to any such production by the Issuer, the Issuer shall provide the Subscriber with prior written notice.

c. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, prior to the Closing, (i) the Issuer may not transfer or assign all or a portion of its rights under this Subscription Agreement without the prior consent of the Subscriber and (ii) Subscriber may not transfer or assign all or a portion of its rights under this Subscription Agreement (and the rights set forth in Section 6) without the prior consent of the Issuer other than to a fund or account managed by the same investment manager as Subscriber, without the prior consent of the Issuer; provided that such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Subscription Agreement, makes the representations and warranties in Section 4 and completes Schedule A hereto, and, in the event of a transfer or assignment to a fund or account managed by the same investment manager as Subscriber, Subscriber shall not be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder. In the event of such a transfer or assignment, Subscriber shall update Schedule B to provide the information required therein.

SOLID POWER, INDUSTRY-LEADING ALL-SOLID-STATE BATTERY

PRODUCER, TO LIST ON NASDAQ THROUGH MERGER WITH

DECARBONIZATION PLUS ACQUISITION CORPORATION III

•

Merger with Riverstone Holdings LLC’s Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Corporation III (NASDAQ: DCRC) constitutes significant milestone in commercialization of Solid Power’s next generation all-solid-state batteries

•

Ford (NYSE: F) and the BMW Group (Xetra: BMW) aim to utilize Solid Power’s low-cost, high-energy battery technology in forthcoming electric vehicles

•

Solid Power’s balance sheet was recently bolstered following its approximately $135 million Series B Round, which is in addition to the $165 million PIPE and $350 million from DCRC’s cash in trust, and assuming no redemptions by DCRC’s public stockholders, Solid Power will receive upon closing, for a total amount raised of approximately $650 million

•

Ford and BMW recently participated in previously announced approximately $135 million Series B financing in Solid Power

•

Pro forma implied enterprise value of the combined company is approximately $1.2 billion

•

Upon closing, the combined company is expected to list on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol “SLDP”

•

Companies will host a webcast and conference call on June 15 at 8:00 am EST

LOUISVILLE, Colo. and MENLO PARK, Calif. – June 15, 2021 – Solid Power, Inc. (“Solid Power”), an industry-leading producer of all-solid-state batteries for electric vehicles, and Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Corporation III (“DCRC”) (NASDAQ: DCRC) today announced a definitive agreement for a business combination that would result in Solid Power becoming a publicly listed company. Upon closing of the transaction, the combined company will be named “Solid Power, Inc.” and its common stock and warrants are expected to trade on NASDAQ under the new ticker symbol “SLDP” and “SLDP WS,” respectively. Upon closing, Solid Power is expected to have a nine-person board composed of a majority of independent directors and will continue to be led by Solid Power’s existing management team, which brings deep technological and manufacturing experience.

With eight years of technology development and three years of manufacturing development, Solid Power has been working to deliver on one objective – produce better performing all-solid-state batteries using low-cost, industry standard processes. Solid Power manufactures its batteries on the company’s pilot production line, which essentially mirrors lithium-ion manufacturing processes, while

eliminating certain expensive and timely steps. Solid Power’s all-solid-state batteries could provide a near 500-mile vehicle range on a single charge, which is 50 to 75 percent greater than any commercially available lithium-ion battery today. The safety profile of Solid Power’s batteries is also improved over traditional lithium-ion as a result of its truly all-solid cell architecture. Solid Power’s partners Ford and BMW expect to integrate the company’s batteries in future electric vehicles.

Doug Campbell, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Solid Power, said, “Today marks an important milestone of commercializing Solid Power’s next generation of all-solid-state batteries that can alleviate the two largest passenger EV pain points: range anxiety and cost. In addition to our existing partners, Ford and BMW, we are now excited to partner with the DCRC team that shares our vision of powering a cleaner, safer and cost-effective electric future.”

Robert Tichio, Chairman of the Board of DCRC and Partner at Riverstone Holdings LLC, added, “Solid-state batteries have long been the elusive technology breakthrough in the battery category for the better part of a decade. Countless labs, scientists, ventures and corporates have claimed progress towards scalable solid-state batteries, with an emphasis on claims. No other known company has made the type of commercialization achievements in all-solid-state batteries that Solid Power has, and Solid Power’s technology is built around a manufacturing process that would be indistinguishable to lithium-ion batteries, putting this Company in a league of its own. We are extremely grateful to both the Company’s existing investors – which includes a leading roster of automotive, industrial and financial investors such as Ford, BMW, Hyundai, Samsung and Volta Energy Technologies – and this management team for their partnership and look forward to bringing Solid Power to the public markets.”

“With nearly a $220 billion total addressable market, Solid Power is well-positioned for significant growth for years to come. Through the vision and leadership of Doug Campbell, they have built an incredible team, developed an all-solid-state battery technology platform that is expected to outperform lithium-ion and future next-generation battery technologies, and attracted a collection of world-class investors and partners,” Mr. Tichio concluded.

Solid Power recently announced an approximately $135 million Series B investment round led by the BMW Group, Ford Motor Company and Volta Energy Technologies. Ford and the BMW Group also expanded existing joint development agreements with Solid Power to secure all-solid-state batteries for future electric vehicles.

Transaction Overview

The business combination values Solid Power at an implied $1.2 billion pro forma enterprise value. Upon closing of the transaction and assuming no redemptions by DCRC public stockholders, Solid Power is expected to have approximately $600 million in cash, including a $165 million fully committed PIPE transaction anchored by investors Koch Strategic Platforms, Riverstone Energy Limited, Neuberger Berman funds and Van Eck Associates Corporation. Cash proceeds to Solid Power will be used to fund operations and support Solid Power’s growth.

The boards of directors of both Solid Power and DCRC have approved the proposed transaction, which is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2021, subject to, among other things, the approval by DCRC’s stockholders and satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions stated in the definitive documentation.

Additional information about the proposed transaction, including a copy of the business combination agreement and investor presentation, will be provided in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by DCRC with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which can be accessed at www.sec.gov.

Disclaimer (cont’d) IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND WHERE TO FIND IT In connection with the Proposed Business Combination, DCRC plans to file a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “RegistrationStatement”) with the SEC, which will include a proxy statement/prospectus of DCRC. DCRC also plans to file other documents and relevant materials with the SEC regarding the Proposed Business Combination. After the Registration Statement has been cleared by the SEC, a definitive proxy statement/prospectus will be mailed to the stockholders of DCRC. SECURITYHOLDERS OF DCRC AND SOLID POWER ARE URGED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS (INCLUDING ALL AMENDMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTS THERETO) AND OTHER DOCUMENTS AND RELEVANT MATERIALS RELATING TO THE PROPOSED BUSINESS COMBINATION THAT WILL BE FILED WITH THE SEC CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BEFORE MAKING ANY VOTING DECISION WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPOSED BUSINESS COMBINATION BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED BUSINESS COMBINATION AND THE PARTIES TO THE PROPOSED BUSINESS COMBINATION. Stockholders will be able to obtain free copies of the proxy statement/prospectus and other documents containing important information about DCRC and Solid Power once such documents are filed with the SEC through the website maintained by the SEC at http://www.sec.gov. PARTICIPANTS IN THE SOLICITATION DCRC and its directors and executive officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the stockholders of DCRC in connection with the Proposed Business Combination. Solid Power and its officers and directors may also be deemed participants in such solicitation. Securityholders may obtain more detailed information regarding the names, affiliations and interests of certain of DCRC’s executive officers and directors in the solicitation by reading DCRC’s final prospectus filed with the SEC on March 25, 2021 and the proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant materials filed with the SEC in connection with the Proposed Business Combination when they become available. Information concerning the interests of DCRC’s participants in the solicitation, which may, in some cases, be different than those of DCRC’s stockholders generally, will be set forth in the proxy statement/prospectus relating to the Proposed Business Combination when it becomes available. FINANCIAL INFORMATION; NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES The financial information and data contained in this Presentation is unaudited and does not conform to Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act. Accordingly, such information and data may not be included in, may be adjusted in or may be presented differently in, any proxy statement/prospectus to be filed by DCRC with the SEC. Some of the financial information and data contained in this Presentation, such as EBITDA, EBITDA Margin and Free Cash Flow, have not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). DCRC and Solid Power believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Solid Power’s financial condition and results of operations. DCRC and Solid Power believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends in and in comparing Solid Power’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. Management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitationofthese non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in Solid Power’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures.
