The Parties shall also designate the line items in any Change Order as Powertrain or Non-Powertrain and no Change Order shall be approved unless such designation has been made.

(g) Process for Provision and Receipt of Restricted Written Disclosures.

(i) Each Party shall designate a minimum of two (2) individuals in their respective organizations (each a “Restricted Written Disclosure Managers” or “RDMs”) who will be responsible for managing the acceptance or return of Restricted Written Disclosures that the other Party wishes to supply. The initial RDMs for Tesla shall be Mateo Jaramillo and Mike Taylor. The initial RDMs for TMC shall be Edward Mantey and Seiya Nakao. Each Party may change its RDMs at any time by providing written notice to the other Party.

(ii) If a Party (for the purpose of this Section the “Disclosing Party”) wishes to provide the other Party (“Receiving Party”) with a written document that the Disclosing Party deems to be in part or in full a Restricted Written Disclosure one representative of the Disclosing Party shall send the Restricted Written Disclosure to the RDMs for the other Party via the Bulletin Board Service (“BBS”) or other mechanism mutually agreed to by the Parties. Each Restricted Written Disclosure transmitted shall prominently display the legend “RESTRICTED DISCLOSURE” at the top of each page of the document if the document as a whole is restricted or next to those sections of the document that are restricted if only portions of the document are restricted. The email in which the Restricted Written Disclosure is appended shall include “RESTRICTED DISCLOSURE” in the subject line for the email. The RDM for the Receiving Party shall review the Restricted Written Disclosure and, within three (3) Business Days of receiving the document, shall in a written response to the Disclosing Party sent via the BBS or other agreed upon mechanism, either (i) accept the document or portions thereof which were marked as such as a

-9-

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY TESLA MOTORS, INC.

TESLA AND TMC CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

EXECUTION VERSION

Restricted Written Disclosure, or (ii) notify the Disclosing Party that it does not agree that the document qualifies as a Restricted Written Disclosure and is challenging the designation. The RDMs for the Parties will discuss their respective positions regarding the matter and attempt to resolve the disagreement in good faith. If the RDMs for the Parties are unable to agree on the treatment of the document or portion thereof, the Receiving Party shall have the right to return the Restricted Written Disclosure to the Disclosing Party via the BBS or the other agreed upon mechanism along with a written note indicating that the Restricted Written Disclosure is being returned. Any Restricted Written Disclosure that is returned to the Disclosing Party shall only have been reviewed by the Receiving Party’s RDMs and shall not have been copied, distributed or otherwise disseminated to any other Receiving Party personnel or third parties. All documents provided to the Receiving Party’s RDMs via the BBS (or other mechanism mutually agreement to by the Parties) with the markings described above shall be deemed “Restricted Written Disclosures”.

(iii) For avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the Parties in writing:

(1) If a Disclosing Party provides a written disclosure to the other Party outside the process described in this Section 2(g) that written disclosure can never be deemed a Restricted Written Disclosure. Any document that is provided by a Disclosing Party to the other Party which document includes a Restricted Written Disclosure legend but is not provided through the above-described process will be deemed to be a Qualified Disclosure. Moreover, a Disclosing Party may not go through the process in this Section 2(g) after it has already provided a Qualified Disclosure to the other side outside of this process and ask for the disclosure to be retroactively designated a Restricted Written Disclosure.

(2) If a Disclosing Party first provides information to the other Party orally and later documents put the same oral information in a written document, that document cannot become a Restricted Written Disclosure.

(h) Project Managers. Each Party agrees to appoint a project manager (“Project Manager”) who shall be the principal point of contact to whom all communications between the Parties with respect to the collaboration and development activities under this Agreement shall be directed. The initial Project Manager for Tesla shall be Mr. Diarmuid O’Connell, and the initial Project Manager for TMC shall be Mr. Shinya Kotera. Each Party may change its Project Manager at any time by providing written notice to the other Party. Each Project Manager may appoint a designee to act on the Project Manager’s behalf for certain tasks by providing written notice to the other Party, provided such designee shall not have the authority to act on its Project Manager’s behalf until such written notice has been provided to the other Party. The Project Managers shall hold periodic meetings to discuss the progress of the Project.

Except as permitted in the exercise of the licenses and rights granted under this Agreement, Recipient shall not disclose or transfer any Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to any third party, without the specific prior written approval of Disclosing Party, except to the extent required by law or governmental or court order to be disclosed by Recipient, provided that Recipient gives Disclosing Party prompt written notice of such requirement prior to such disclosure and cooperates with Disclosing Party in the latter’s attempt, if any, to prevent such disclosure or in obtaining a protective or similar order with respect to such Confidential Information to be disclosed.

(d) Obligation to Return Confidential Information. Recipient acknowledges that Disclosing Party retains ownership of all Confidential Information disclosed or made available to Recipient. Accordingly, upon any termination, cancellation or expiration of this Agreement, or upon Disclosing Party’s request for any reason (other than in violation of this Agreement), Recipient shall, within thirty (30) calendar days after such termination, cancellation or expiration or request, return promptly to Disclosing Party the originals and all copies (without retention of any copy) of any written documents, tools, materials or other tangible items containing or embodying Confidential Information of Disclosing Party; provided, however, that Recipient shall be entitled to retain such originals and copies of Confidential Information of Disclosing Party as Recipient shall reasonably

Any rights to such Intellectual Property Rights are set forth in Sections 3 and 4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Recipient shall have the right to use and exploit Residuals for any purpose. As used herein, “Residuals” shall mean ideas, information and understandings retained in the unaided memory of Recipient’s employees as a result of their review, evaluation and testing of the Confidential Information of Disclosing Party. For the avoidance of doubt, no patent or copyright license to Residuals is granted to either Party under this Section 6(f). Each Party acknowledges that the other Party’s receipt of its Confidential Information under this Agreement shall not create any obligation in any way limiting or restricting the assignment of employees within such Party.
