Investment Agreement

At an initial closing to be held on or after November 22, 2022 (the “Initial Closing”), subject to the conditions set forth in the Investment Agreement, Foxconn Ventures will purchase: (a) 12,917,274 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $1.76 per share for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $22.7 million, and (b) 300,000 shares of Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $100 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $30 million.

- 12 -

Following the parties’ receipt of a written communication from the U.S. government’s Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”) that CFIUS has concluded that the transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement are not a “covered transaction” or CFIUS has concluded that there are no unresolved national security concerns with respect to the transactions (“CFIUS Clearance”) and any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, has expired or terminated and subject to the other conditions set forth in the Investment Agreement, at a second closing (the “Subsequent Common Closing”) Foxconn Ventures will purchase 26,855,453 additional shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $1.76 per share.

The Issuer will use the proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock for general corporate purposes as determined by the Issuer’s board of directors (the “Board”) and the proceeds from the sale of the Preferred Stock to fund pre-development and design activities for a new electric vehicle program in collaboration with the Reporting Persons and third parties (the “EV Program”).

Upon satisfaction of certain EV Program milestones (including establishing an EV Program budget) and subject to satisfaction of other customary conditions set forth in the Investment Agreement, Foxconn Ventures will purchase in two tranches up to 700,000 additional shares of Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $100 per share. The first tranche will be in an amount up to 300,000 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $30 million; and the second tranche will be in an amount up to 400,000 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $40 million. The parties have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to agree upon the EV Program budget and funding milestones no later than May 7, 2023.

The Investment Agreement provides that:

- 13 -

The Investment Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and closing conditions. The Investment Agreement can be terminated by either party if the Initial Closing has not occurred on or before November 7, 2023 and also can be terminated by mutual consent of the parties.

- 14 -

Certificate of Designations of Preferred Stock

Prior to the Initial Closing, the Issuer will file with the Secretary of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designations”) designating 1,000,000 shares as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and designating the rights, preferences and limitations of such shares.

The Preferred Stock will, with respect to dividend rights, rights on the distribution of assets on any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Issuer and redemption rights, rank: (a) on a parity basis with each other class or series of any equity interests (“Capital Stock”) of the Issuer now or hereafter existing, the terms of which expressly provide that such class or series ranks on a parity basis with the Preferred Stock as to such matters (such Capital Stock, “Parity Stock”); (b) junior to each other class or series of Capital Stock of the Issuer now or hereafter existing, the terms of which expressly provide that such class or series ranks senior to the Preferred Stock as to such matters (such Capital Stock, “Senior Stock”); and (c) senior to the Common Stock and each other class or series of Capital Stock of the Issuer now or hereafter existing, the terms of which do not expressly provide that such class or series ranks on a parity basis with, or senior to, the Preferred Stock as to such matters (such Capital Stock, “Junior Stock”).

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Issuer, the holders of Preferred Stock will be entitled, out of assets legally available therefor, before any distribution or payment to the holders of any Junior Stock, and subject to the rights of the holders of any Senior Stock or Parity Stock and the rights of the Issuer’s existing and future creditors, to receive in full a liquidating distribution in cash and in the amount per share of Preferred Stock equal to the greater of (1) the sum of $100 per share plus the accrued unpaid dividends with respect to such share and (2) the amount the holder would have received had it converted such share into Common Stock immediately prior to the date of such event.

Holders of the Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive dividends at a rate equal to 8% per annum, which accrue and accumulate whether or not declared. Such dividends compound quarterly and are payable quarterly in arrears. In addition, the holders of the Preferred Stock participate with any dividends payable in respect of any Junior Stock or Parity Stock.

All holders of shares of Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote with the holders of Common Stock on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Issuer as a single class with each share of Preferred Stock entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share could be converted; provided, that no holder of shares of Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote (i) until the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, if applicable, or (ii) to the extent that such holder would have the right to a number of votes in respect of such holder’s shares of Common Stock, Preferred Stock or other capital stock that would exceed the limitations set forth in clauses (A) and (B) of the definition of Ownership Limitations.

Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, commencing on the later of (1) May 7, 2023, and (2) the earlier of (x) the date of the Subsequent Common Closing and (y) November 7, 2023 (the “Conversion Right Date”), the Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $1.936 (the “Conversion Price”), subject to customary adjustments. At any time following the third anniversary of the date of issuance, the Issuer can cause the Preferred Stock to be converted if the volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock exceeds 200% of the Conversion Price for a period of at least twenty trading days in any period of thirty consecutive trading days. Foxconn Ventures’ ability to convert is limited by clauses (A) and (B) of the definition of the Ownership Limitations. Upon a change of control, Foxconn Ventures can cause the Issuer to purchase any or all of its Preferred Stock at a purchase price equal to the greater of its liquidation preference (including any unpaid accrued dividends) and the amount of cash and other property that it would have received had it converted its Preferred Stock prior to the change of control transaction.

Registration Rights Agreement

The Issuer and Foxconn Ventures will enter into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) as a condition to the Initial Closing pursuant to which the Issuer will agree to use reasonable efforts to file and cause to be declared effective a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) registering the resale of the Securities, including any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, by the earlier to occur of (i) the Subsequent Common Closing, (ii) a determination that CFIUS Clearance will not occur and (iii) May 7, 2023. Foxconn Ventures also has customary demand and piggyback registration rights with respect to the Securities, and indemnification rights.
