Covenants of Borrower and Guarantor

Section 6.01. Payment. Borrower will pay or cause to be paid the principal and interest on the Loan and all fees and other amounts provided for in this Agreement and the Note, all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Note.

Section 6.02. Conduct of Business. Borrower will continue to engage in a business of the same general type and manner as conducted by it on the date of this Agreement. Without 10 days’ prior written notice to Lender, Borrower shall not change its name or the location of its principal executive office.

Section 6.03. Use of Proceeds. The Loan and any Extension Payment (as defined below) will be used for Borrower’s working capital requirements and for Aldama’s operating expenses. The proceeds of the Loan and any Extension Payment shall not be used to repay indebtedness for borrowed money of Borrower or any of its Affiliates.

Section 6.04. Business Operations. Borrower and Guarantor covenant and agree that, as long as either (a) there are any Odyssey Obligations outstanding to Lender or (b) Lender holds 10.0% or more of all the outstanding equity interests of Guarantor (the “Specified Conditions”), Borrower shall, and shall cause Guarantor to, (i) conduct all of their business and operations directly or indirectly relating to the subsea exploration, research, mining, processing, purchase, sale or distribution of polymetallic nodules mined from the deep ocean in the Clarion Clipperton Zone or any other part of the Pacific Ocean (the “Covered Activities”) through Guarantor or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary and (ii) pursue with commercially reasonable efforts the approval of all applications for mining permits that have been submitted as of the date of hereof and, following the grant of any such permits, use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain such permits in good standing, including the payment of any required maintenance fees and expenses. If Borrower, Guarantor, or any of their respective Affiliates organizes or acquires an entity that is not a Wholly Owned Subsidiary (a “New Entity”) to engage in any of the Covered Activities, then Borrower and Guarantor shall cause such New Entity to issue equity interests in the New Entity to Lender in an amount sufficient to cause Lender’s direct or indirect economic interest in the New Entity, on a percentage basis, to equal the economic interest in Guarantor, on a percentage basis, that Lender has acquired upon exercise of the Option (as defined below). For avoidance of doubt, the processing of polymetallic nodules from the Pacific Ocean to convert the mined ore into marketable products, wherever the ore has been sourced, is considered an integral part of the business of Guarantor and is a significant inducement for Lender to enter into this Agreement.

Section 6.05. Guarantor and New Entity Documents. As soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, Borrower shall take such actions, or cause such actions to be taken, as are reasonably necessary or appropriate to prepare or amend Guarantor’s documents or instruments that are the Mexican equivalents of articles of incorporation, bylaws, and shareholder agreements (collectively, (“Organizational Documents”) to contemplate Guarantor having more than one owner, including (a) such provisions as are customarily set forth in such documents, (b) preemptive rights for Lender, (c) a “Russian Roulette” provision as a definitive dispute mechanism, (d) that if Lender acquires 50.0% of the equity interests of Guarantor, so long thereafter as either of the Specified Conditions are met, Lender shall have the right to designate a number of the members of the board of directors (or body performing similar functions) of Guarantor equal to the Specified Number (as defined below), and (e) such other provisions as Odyssey and SMOM shall mutually agree (collectively, “Required Provisions”). Odyssey shall take such actions, or cause such actions to be taken, as are reasonably necessary or appropriate to include the Required Provisions in the Organizational Documents of any New Entity, mutatis mutandis. For the purposes of this Agreement, the “Specified Number” means one-half of (x) the number at which the size

of the board of directors (or body performing similar functions) of Guarantor is fixed minus (y) one. For the avoidance of doubt, Borrower and Lender agree that the size of the board of directors (or body performing similar functions) of Guarantor or any New Entity shall be fixed at an odd number, with each of Lender and Borrower being entitled to designate the Specified Number. The one additional member of the board of directors (or body performing similar functions) shall be an individual mutually agreeable to Borrower and Lender. If Borrower and Lender are unable to mutually agree on such individual, their dispute shall be resolved through the dispute resolution provisions set forth in the Organizational Documents.
