Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Forward Purchase Agreement
As previously announced, on September 16, 2022, Inflection Point Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Inflection Point”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and between Inflection Point and Intuitive Machines, LLC (“Intuitive Machines”), a Texas limited liability company which will convert into a Delaware limited liability company in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination”). Upon the closing of the Business Combination, Intuitive Machines and Inflection Point will be organized as an umbrella partnership C corporation (the “Combined Company”).
On February 9, 2023, Inflection Point and Intuitive Machines entered into separate agreements (each, a “Forward Purchase Agreement, and together, the “Forward Purchase Agreements”) with each of Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund (“Polar”) and The HGC Fund LP (“HGC” and, each of Polar and HCG, individually, a “Seller” and, together, the “Sellers”) for over-the-counter Equity Prepaid Forward Transactions (each, a “Forward Purchase Transaction” and, together, the “Forward Purchase Transactions”). For purposes of the Forward Purchase Agreements, Inflection Point and the Combined Company are referred to as the “Counterparty” prior to and after the Business Combination, respectively. Pursuant to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreements, each Seller has separately agreed to hold a maximum of 1,250,000 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of Inflection Point (“Inflection Point Shares” and, such Inflection Point Shares and the successor shares following the Closing, the “FPA Shares”) in connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”). Each Seller, acting separately and solely for its own account, (i) may reverse its previous election to redeem its Inflection Point Shares in connection with the Business Combination pursuant to the redemption rights set forth in Inflection Point’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association it owns or (ii) purchase Inflection Point Shares through a broker in the open market from holders of Inflection Point Shares (other than Inflection Point), including from holders who have previously elected to redeem their Inflection Point Shares in connection with the Business Combination pursuant to the redemption rights set forth in Inflection Point’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, such that, in the aggregate, such Seller owns up to 1,250,000 Inflection Point Shares as of the day of the Closing. The aggregate number of shares subject to each Forward Purchase Agreement (the “Number of Shares”) will be the aggregate number of FPA Shares as notified to Counterparty by the applicable Seller, but in no event more than 1,250,000 shares by each Seller. The Number of Shares is subject to reduction following the full or partial optional early termination of the Forward Purchase Agreements as described below.
Each Forward Purchase Agreement provides that no later than the earlier of (a) one business day after the Closing and (b) the date any assets from Inflection Point’s trust account are disbursed in connection with the Business Combination, the Seller under such Forward Purchase Agreement will be paid directly, out of the funds held in Inflection Point’s trust account, an amount (the “Prepayment Amount”) equal to the product of (i) an amount (the “Initial Price”) equal to the redemption price per share payable to investors who elected to redeem in connection with the Business Combination (the amount equal to the product of (i) and (ii) “Redemption Price”) plus $0.30 per share and (ii) the Number of Shares specified at the outset of the Forward Purchase Transaction (such product, the “Prepayment Amount”).
The Counterparty has agreed to file a registration statement, at Counterparty’s sole cost and expense, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) registering the resale of each Seller’s Shares in the Combined Company (the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, within 45 days following the Closing, and have the Registration Statement declared effective (the “Registration Statement Effective Date”) as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earliest of (i) the 60th calendar day (or 90th calendar day if the SEC notifies the Counterparty that it will review the Registration Statement) following such closing and (ii) the 5th Business Day after the date the Counterparty is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that such Registration Statement will not be reviewed or will not be subject to further review.
1
From time to time on any day the Nasdaq is open for trading following the date of the Closing (any such date, an “OET Date”), each Seller may, in its absolute discretion, terminate its respective Forward Purchase Agreement in whole or in part with respect to any number of FPA Shares by giving notice of such termination and the specified number of FPA Shares (such quantity, the “Terminated Shares”). An amount equal to the (a) the lesser of (i) the VWAP Price (as defined in the Forward Purchase Agreements) as of the date such notice of termination is given and (ii) the Initial Price, multiplied by (b) the Terminated Shares will be paid by such Seller to the Counterparty.
Each Forward Purchase Agreement’s maturity date will be the date one month after the Closing (the “Maturity Date”). Upon the occurrence of the Maturity Date, in exchange for delivery of the then Number of Shares under each Forward Purchase Transaction, Counterparty shall pay each Seller an amount (the “Maturity Consideration”) equal to (i) the number of FPA Shares less the number of Terminated Shares multiplied by (ii) the Initial Price. The Seller will retain the Maturity Consideration from the Prepayment Amount paid by the Counterparty to the Seller.
Each Forward Purchase Agreements may each be terminated by any of the parties thereto if any of the following events occur: (a) failure to consummate the Business Combination on or before the Outside Date (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), as such Outside Date may be amended or extended from time to time, (b) termination of the Business Combination Agreement prior to the Closing, (c) it being, or, as a consequence of a change in law, regulation or interpretation, it becomes or will become, unlawful for the Seller to perform any of its obligations contemplated by a Forward Purchase Agreement, or (d) upon the occurrence of any Material Adverse Change (as defined in the Forward Purchase Agreements) of the Counterparty (each of such events, an “Additional Termination Event”). Upon any termination that occurs following the closing of the Business Combination due to clauses (c) or (d) above, Counterparty shall be obligated to promptly accept for redemption all of Seller’s Shares in exchange for the Initial Price.
The Counterparty has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless each Seller, its affiliates, assignees and other parties described therein (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against all losses, claims, damages and liabilities under the Forward Purchase Agreement (excluding liabilities relating to the manner in which Seller sells any shares it owns) and reimburse the Indemnified Parties for their reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such liabilities, subject to certain exceptions described therein, and has agreed to contribute to any amounts required to be paid by any Indemnified Parties if such indemnification is unavailable or insufficient to hold such party harmless.
Each Seller has agreed to waive any redemption rights with respect to any FPA Shares in connection with the Business Combination, provided that each Seller may exercise its redemption rights with respect to any FPA Shares if (i) it is, or, as a consequence of a change in law, regulation or interpretation, it becomes or will become, unlawful for such Seller or Counterparty to perform any of its obligations contemplated by the Forward Purchase Transaction or (ii) upon the occurrence of any Material Adverse Change (as defined in the Forward Purchase Agreements) of the Counterparty. Such waivers may reduce the number of Inflection Point Shares redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, and such reduction could alter the perception of the potential strength of the Business Combination. Each Forward Purchase Agreement has been structured, and all activity in connection with such agreement has been undertaken, to comply with the requirements of all tender offer regulations applicable to the Business Combination, including Rule 14e-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The foregoing summary of the Forward Purchase Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the form of Forward Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties may be amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has caused significant economic uncertainty. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and Intuitive Machines and Inflection Point assume no obligation and do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by securities and other applicable laws.

| Re: | Shareholder Support Agreement (the “Transaction”) | |

The term “Counterparty” refers to IPAX until the Business Combination (as defined below), and to Intuitive Machines, Inc., a Delaware corporation, following the Business Combination. Upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (as defined below) IPAX and Target will be organized as an umbrella partnership C corporation (the “Combined Company”). Certain terms of the Transaction shall be as set forth in this Confirmation, with additional terms as set forth in a Pricing Date Notice (the “Pricing Date Notice”) in the form of Schedule A hereto. This Confirmation, together with the Pricing Date Notice, constitutes a “Confirmation” and the Transaction constitutes a separate “Transaction” as referred to in the ISDA Form (as defined below).
This Confirmation, together with the Pricing Date Notice, evidences a complete binding agreement between Seller, Target and Counterparty as to the subject matter and terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates and shall supersede all prior or contemporaneous written or oral communications with respect thereto.
The 2006 ISDA Definitions (the “Swap Definitions”) and the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “Equity Definitions”, and with the Swap Definitions, the “Definitions”), each as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., are incorporated into this Confirmation. If there is any inconsistency between the Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation governs.

This Confirmation, together with the Pricing Date Notice, shall supplement, form a part of, and be subject to an agreement in the form of the 2002 ISDA Master Agreement (the “ISDA Form”) as if Seller, Target and Counterparty had executed an agreement in such form (but without any Schedule except as set forth herein under “Schedule Provisions”) on the Trade Date.

Other Provisions.
| (a) | Rule 10b5-1. |
| (i) | Counterparty represents and warrants to Seller that Counterparty is not entering into the Transaction to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) for the purpose of inducing the purchase or sale of such securities or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act, and Counterparty represents and warrants to Seller that Counterparty has not entered into or altered, and agrees that Counterparty will not enter into or alter, any corresponding or hedging transaction or position with respect to the Shares. Counterparty acknowledges that it is the intent of the parties that the Transaction comply with the requirements of paragraphs (c)(1)(i)(A) and (B) of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act (“Rule 10b5-1”) and the Transaction shall be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c). |
| (ii) | Counterparty agrees that it will not seek to control or influence Seller’s decision to make any “purchases or sales” (within the meaning of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B)(3)) under the Transaction, including, without limitation, Seller’s decision to enter into any hedging transactions. Counterparty represents and warrants that it has consulted with its own advisors as to the legal aspects of its adoption and implementation of this Confirmation and the Transaction under Rule 10b5-1. |
| (iii) | Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that any amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Confirmation must be effected in accordance with the requirements for the amendment or termination of a “plan” as defined in Rule 10b5-1(c). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that any such amendment, modification, waiver or termination shall be made in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule 10b-5, and no such amendment, modification or waiver shall be made at any time at which Counterparty, or any officer, director, manager or similar person of Counterparty is aware of any material non-public information regarding Counterparty or the Shares. | |
| (b) | [Reserved.] | |
| (c) | Transfer or Assignment. The rights and duties under this Confirmation may not be transferred or assigned by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, subject to the immediately following sentence. If at any time following the closing of the Business Combination at which (A) the Section 16 Percentage exceeds 9.9%, or (B) the Share Amount exceeds the Applicable Share Limit (if any applies) (any such condition described in clause (A) or (B), an “Excess Ownership Position”), Seller is unable to effect a transfer or assignment of a portion of the Transaction to a third party on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Seller and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Seller such that no Excess Ownership Position exists, then Seller may designate any Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction (the “Terminated Portion”), such that following such partial termination no Excess Ownership Position exists. In the event that Seller so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, a portion of the Shares with respect to the Transaction shall be delivered to Counterparty as if the Early Termination Date was the Valuation Date in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of Shares equal to the number of Shares underlying the Terminated Portion. The “Section 16 Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, as determined by Seller, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Seller and each person subject to aggregation of Shares with Seller under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder and all persons who may form a “group” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) of the Exchange Act) with Seller directly or indirectly beneficially own (as defined under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder) (the “Seller Group” ) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding. |
| The “Share Amount” as of any day is the number of Shares that Seller and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Seller and any group (however designated) of which Seller is a member (Seller or any such person or group, a “Seller Person”) under any law, rule, regulation, regulatory order or organizational documents or contracts of Counterparty that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (“Applicable Restrictions”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Seller in its sole discretion. |
12
| The “Applicable Share Limit” means a number of Shares equal to (A) the minimum number of Shares that could give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements under Section 16 of the Exchange Act including obtaining prior approval from any person or entity) of a Seller Person, or could result in an adverse effect on a Seller Person, under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Seller in its sole discretion, minus (B) 0.1% of the number of Shares outstanding. | |
| (d) | Indemnification. Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller, its affiliates and its assignees and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (each such person being an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses (but not including financial losses to an Indemnified Party relating to the economic terms of the Transaction provided that the Counterparty performs its obligations under this Confirmation in accordance with its terms), claims, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), joint or several, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party arising out of, in connection with, or relating to, the execution or delivery of this Confirmation, the performance by Counterparty of its obligations under the Transaction, any breach of any covenant or representation made by Counterparty in this Confirmation or the ISDA Form, regulatory filings made by Counterparty related to the Transaction (other than as relates to any information provided by or on behalf of Seller or its affiliates), or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that Counterparty has no indemnification obligations with respect to any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense related to the manner in which Seller sells, or arising out of any sales by Seller of, any Shares owned by Seller. Counterparty will not be liable under the foregoing indemnification provision to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is found in a nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from Seller’s material breach of any covenant, representation or other obligation in this Confirmation or the ISDA Form or from Seller’s willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith in performing the services that are subject of the Transaction. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Party, then Counterparty shall contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability. In addition (and in addition to any other Reimbursement of Legal Fees and other Expenses contemplated by this Confirmation), Counterparty will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all reasonable, out-of-pocket, expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) as they are incurred in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense or settlement of any pending or threatened claim or any action, suit or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto and whether or not such claim, action, suit or proceeding is initiated or brought by or on behalf of Counterparty. Counterparty also agrees that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability to Counterparty or any person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of Counterparty in connection with or as a result of any matter referred to in this Confirmation except to the extent that any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by Counterparty result from such Indemnified Party’s breach of any covenant, representation or other obligation in this Confirmation or the ISDA Form or from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Indemnified Party or breach of any U.S. federal or state securities laws or the rules, regulations or applicable interpretations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
