Exhibit 4.1

PROMISSORY NOTE A-1

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), promises to pay to Streeterville Capital, LLC, a Utah limited liability company, or its successors or assigns (“Lender”), $15,780,000.00 and any interest, fees, charges, and late fees accrued hereunder on the date that is twenty-four (24) months after the Purchase Price Date (the “Maturity Date”) in accordance with the terms set forth herein and to pay interest on the Outstanding Balance at the rate of nine percent (9%) per annum simple interest from the Purchase Price Date until the same is paid in full. All interest calculations hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve (12) thirty (30) day months and shall be payable in accordance with the terms of this Note. This Promissory Note A-1 (this “Note”) is issued and made effective as of April 17, 2026 (the “Effective Date”). This Note is issued pursuant to that certain Notes Purchase Agreement dated April 17, 2026, as the same may be amended from time to time, by and between Borrower and Lender (the “Purchase Agreement”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Attachment 1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

This Note carries an original issue discount of $750,000.00 (the “OID”). In addition, Borrower agrees to pay $30,000.00 to Lender to cover Lender’s legal, accounting and due diligence expenses incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of this Note (the “Transaction Expense Amount”). The OID and the Transaction Expense Amount are included in the initial principal balance of this Note and are deemed to be fully earned and non-refundable as of the Purchase Price Date. The purchase price for this Note shall be $15,000,000.00 (the “Purchase Price”), computed as follows: $15,780,000.00 original principal balance, less the OID and the Transaction Expense Amount.

1. Payment; Prepayment.

1.1. Payment. All payments owing hereunder shall be in lawful money of the United States of America and delivered to Lender at the address or bank account furnished by Lender to Borrower for that purpose. All payments shall be applied first to (a) Lender’s reasonable costs of collection, if any, then to (b) fees and charges hereunder, if any, then to (c) accrued and unpaid interest hereunder, and thereafter, to (d) principal hereunder.

1.2. Prepayment. Borrower may pay all or any portion of the Outstanding Balance earlier than it is due. If Borrower exercises its right to prepay this Note, Borrower shall make payment to Lender of an amount in cash equal to 110% multiplied by the portion of the Outstanding Balance Borrower elects to prepay. Early payments of less than all principal, fees and interest outstanding will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower’s remaining obligations hereunder.

2. Monitoring Fee. In the event this Note is outstanding on the one hundred eighty (180) day anniversary of the Purchase Price Date (the “Monitoring Fee Date”), then Borrower will be charged a one-time fee to cover Lender’s accounting, legal and other costs incurred in monitoring this Note equal to the Outstanding Balance divided by .80 less the Outstanding Balance (the “Monitoring Fee”). The Monitoring Fee will be automatically added to the Outstanding Balance on the Monitoring Fee Date. By way of example only, if the Outstanding Balance on the Monitoring Fee Date were $1,000,000.00, then the Monitoring Fee added to the Outstanding Balance would be $250,000.00 ($1,000,000.00/.80 - $1,000,000.00). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Monitoring Fee and interest accrued on the Monitoring Fee will be forgiven, on a pro rata basis, each time Borrower makes a cash payment hereunder.

3. Guaranty. Borrower’s obligations under this Note are guaranteed by the Subsidiaries (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) pursuant to the Guaranty (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).

4.  Redemptions.

4.1. Monthly Redemptions. Beginning on October 17, 2026, Lender shall have the right, exercisable at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, to redeem up to the Maximum Monthly Redemption Amount (such amount, the “Redemption Amount”) per calendar month by providing written notice to Borrower (each, a “Redemption Notice”). The foregoing maximum monthly Redemption Amount will be aggregated with redemptions submitted under all other A Notes (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). For the avoidance of doubt, Lender may submit to Borrower one (1) or more Redemption Notices in any given calendar month (the date a Redemption Notice is delivered to Borrower, the “Redemption Date”). Borrower must pay the applicable Redemption Amount plus make-whole interest on such amount as if such amount had been held to maturity (“Make-Whole Interest”) to Lender in cash or Class A Shares (“Redemption Shares”) within two (2) Trading Days of delivery of the applicable Redemption Notice. If Borrower elects to pay the applicable Redemption Amount in Redemption Shares, it must notify Lender of such election within one (1) Trading Day of delivery of the Redemption Notice. The number of Redemption Shares deliverable pursuant to a Redemption Notice will be calculated as follows: the applicable Redemption Amount plus Make-Whole Interest divided by Nasdaq Minimum Price on the Redemption Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may only elect to pay a Redemption Amount in Redemption Shares if all Exchange Conditions (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and Equity Conditions are satisfied as of the applicable Redemption Date. In the event the applicable Nasdaq Minimum Price is below the Floor Price, Lender will have the right, at its election to have the applicable Redemption Amount paid in cash.

4.2. Limited Redemptions. Beginning on October 17, 2026, if at any time thereafter a Limited Redemption Event occurs, then Lender shall have the right to submit one or more Redemption Notices in an amount (the “Limited Redemption Amount”) up to the Maximum Limited Redemption Amount at any time during the applicable Limited Redemption Window (“Limited Redemptions”). The Maximum Limited Redemption Amount will be aggregated with Limited Redemptions made under all outstanding Notes (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). Borrower must pay the applicable Limited Redemption Amount plus Make-Whole Interest to Lender in Redemption Shares within two (2) Trading Days of delivery of the applicable Redemption Notice. The number of Redemption Shares deliverable pursuant to a Limited Redemption will be calculated as follows: the applicable Limited Redemption Amount plus Make-Whole Interest divided by Nasdaq Minimum Price on the Redemption Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event a Limited Redemption Event occurs while both A Notes and the B Note (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) remain outstanding and the applicable Limited Redemption Amount plus Make-Whole Interest is less than or equal to the aggregate outstanding balance of all A Notes, Limited Redemptions shall only be made on A Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, Limited Redemptions will not count toward the Maximum Monthly Redemption Amount. In the event the applicable Nasdaq Minimum Price is below the Floor Price, Lender will have the right, at its election to have the applicable Limited Redemption Amount paid in cash.

5. Trigger Events; Defaults; Remedies.

5.1. Trigger Events. The following are trigger events under this Note (each, a “Trigger Event”): (a) Borrower fails to pay any principal, interest, fees, charges, or any other amount when due and payable hereunder; (b) a receiver, trustee or other similar official shall be appointed over Borrower or a material part of its assets and such appointment shall remain uncontested for thirty (30) days or shall not be dismissed or discharged within sixty (60) days; (c) Borrower becomes insolvent or generally fails to pay, or admits in writing its inability to pay, its debts as they become due, subject to applicable grace periods, if any; (d) Borrower makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (e) Borrower files a petition for relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law (domestic or foreign); (f) an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding is commenced or filed against Borrower; (g) Borrower fails to observe or perform any covenant set forth in Section 4 of the Purchase Agreement; (h) the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction without Lender’s prior written consent; (i) Borrower defaults or otherwise fails to observe or perform any covenant, obligation, condition or agreement contained herein or in any other Transaction Document (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), other than those specifically set forth in this Section 5.1 and Section 4 of the Purchase Agreement, and such default or failure to observe or perform remains uncured for a period of ten (10) consecutive calendar days; (j) any representation, warranty or other statement made or furnished by or on behalf of Borrower to Lender herein, in any Transaction Document, or otherwise in connection with the issuance of this Note is false, incorrect, incomplete or misleading in any material respect when made or furnished; (k) Borrower effectuates a reverse split of its Class A Shares without ten (10) calendar days prior written notice to Lender; (l) any money judgment, writ or similar process is entered or filed against Borrower or any subsidiary of Borrower or any of its property or other assets for more than $500,000.00, and shall remain unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of thirty (30) calendar days unless otherwise consented to by Lender; (m) a non-management supported preliminary proxy is filed against Borrower; (n) Borrower breaches any covenant or other term or condition contained in any Other Agreements, and such breach remains uncured for a period of ten (10) consecutive calendar days; and (o) Borrower fails for any reason to timely deliver the Redemption Shares to Lender’s designated brokerage account, free of any restrictive legend, by the applicable dates specified herein, provided, however, that on five (5) occasions during the life of this Note (aggregated with all other such occasions occurring under all other Notes), the Company shall be granted one (1) additional Trading Day to deliver Redemption Shares following the required delivery date thereof.

5.2. Trigger Event Remedies. At any time following the occurrence of any Trigger Event, Lender may, at its option, increase the Outstanding Balance by applying the Trigger Effect (subject to the limitation set forth below). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Lender shall only be permitted to apply the Trigger Effect on one (1) occasion during the term of this Note.

5.3. Defaults. At any time following the occurrence of a Trigger Event, Lender may, at its option, send written notice to Borrower demanding that Borrower cure such Trigger Event within five (5) Trading Days. If Borrower fails to cure the Trigger Event within the required five (5) Trading Day cure period, the Trigger Event will automatically become an event of default hereunder (an “Event of Default”).

5.4. Default Remedies. At any time and from time to time following the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may accelerate this Note by written notice to Borrower, with the Outstanding Balance becoming immediately due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of any Trigger Event described in clauses 5.1(b) - 5.1(f), an Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred and the Outstanding Balance as of the date of the occurrence of such Trigger Event shall become immediately and automatically due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount, without any written notice required by Lender for the Trigger Event to become an Event of Default. At any time following the occurrence of any Event of Default and for so long as such Event of Default is continuing, upon written notice given by Lender to Borrower, interest shall accrue on the Outstanding Balance beginning on the date the applicable Event of Default occurred at an interest rate equal to the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law (“Default Interest”). In connection with acceleration described herein, Lender need not provide, and Borrower hereby waives, any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and Lender may immediately and without expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Such acceleration may be rescinded and annulled by Lender at any time prior to payment hereunder and Lender shall have all rights as a holder of the Note until such time, if any, as Lender receives full payment pursuant to this Section 5.4. No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Trigger Event or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Nothing herein shall limit Lender’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it at law or in equity.

6. Unconditional Obligation; No Offset. Borrower acknowledges that this Note is an unconditional, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of Borrower not subject to offset, deduction or counterclaim of any kind. Borrower hereby waives any rights of offset it now has or may have hereafter against Lender, its successors and assigns, and agrees to make the payments called for herein in accordance with the terms of this Note.

7. Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Note shall be effective unless it is in the form of a writing signed by the party granting the waiver. No waiver of any provision or consent to any prohibited action shall constitute a waiver of any other provision or consent to any other prohibited action, whether or not similar. No waiver or consent shall constitute a continuing waiver or consent or commit a party to provide a waiver or consent in the future except to the extent specifically set forth in writing.

8. Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note or the other Transaction Documents, Borrower shall not effect any Redemption Notice of this Note to the extent that after giving effect to such Redemption Notice would cause Lender (together with its affiliates) to beneficially own a number of Class A Shares exceeding 9.99% of the number of Class A Shares outstanding on such date (including for such purpose the Class A Shares issuable upon such issuance) (the “Maximum Percentage”). For purposes of this section, beneficial ownership of Class A Shares will be determined pursuant to Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). The foregoing Maximum Percentage is enforceable, unconditional and non-waivable and shall apply to all affiliates and assigns of Lender.

9. Opinion of Counsel. In the event that an opinion of counsel is needed for any matter related to this Note, Lender has the right to have any such opinion provided by its counsel with such opinion subject to the approval of Borrower, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

10. Governing Law; Venue. This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Note shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of Utah, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Utah or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Utah. The provisions set forth in the Purchase Agreement to determine the proper venue for any disputes are incorporated herein by this reference.

11. Arbitration of Disputes. By its issuance or acceptance of this Note, each party agrees to be bound by the Arbitration Provisions (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) set forth as an exhibit to the Purchase Agreement.

12. Cancellation. After repayment of the entire Outstanding Balance, this Note shall be deemed paid in full, shall automatically be deemed canceled, and shall not be reissued.

13. Amendments. The prior written consent of both parties hereto shall be required for any change or amendment to this Note.

14. Assignments. Borrower may not assign this Note without the prior written consent of Lender. This Note may be offered, sold, assigned or transferred by Lender to any of its affiliates without the consent of Borrower.

15. Notices. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Note, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with the subsection of the Purchase Agreement titled “Notices.”

16. Liquidated Damages. Lender and Borrower agree that in the event Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms or provisions of this Note, Lender’s damages would be uncertain and difficult (if not impossible) to accurately estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates, future share prices, future trading volumes and other relevant factors. Accordingly, Lender and Borrower agree that any fees, balance adjustments, Default Interest or other charges assessed under this Note are not penalties but instead are intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, liquidated damages.

17. Severability. If any part of this Note is construed to be in violation of any law, such part shall be modified to achieve the objective of Borrower and Lender to the fullest extent permitted by law and the balance of this Note shall remain in full force and effect.

4.2. Defaults. At any time following the occurrence of a Trigger Event, Lender may, at its option, send written notice to Borrower demanding that Borrower cure such Trigger Event within five (5) Trading Days. If Borrower fails to cure the Trigger Event within the required five (5) Trading Day cure period, the Trigger Event will automatically become an event of default hereunder (an “Event of Default”).

4.3. Default Remedies. At any time and from time to time following the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may accelerate this Note by written notice to Borrower, with the Outstanding Balance becoming immediately due and payable in cash Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of any Trigger Event described in clauses 4.1(b) - 4.1(f), an Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred and the Outstanding Balance as of the date of the occurrence of such Trigger Event shall become immediately and automatically due and payable in cash, without any written notice required by Lender for the Trigger Event to become an Event of Default.

Such acceleration may be rescinded and annulled by Lender at any time prior to payment hereunder and Lender shall have all rights as a holder of the Note until such time, if any, as Lender receives full payment pursuant to this Section 4.3. No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Trigger Event or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Nothing herein shall limit Lender’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it at law or in equity.

5. Unconditional Obligation; No Offset.

6. Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Note shall be effective unless it is in the form of a writing signed by the party granting the waiver. No waiver of any provision or consent to any prohibited action shall constitute a waiver of any other provision or consent to any other prohibited action, whether or not similar.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note or the other Transaction Documents, Borrower shall not effect any Redemption Notice of this Note to the extent that after giving effect to such Redemption Notice would cause Lender (together with its affiliates) to beneficially own a number of Class A Shares exceeding 9.99% of the number of Class A Shares outstanding on such date (including for such purpose the Class A Shares issuable upon such issuance) (the “Maximum Percentage”). For purposes of this section, beneficial ownership of Class A Shares will be determined pursuant to Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). The foregoing Maximum Percentage is enforceable, unconditional and non-waivable and shall apply to all affiliates and assigns of Lender.

8. Opinion of Counsel.

This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Note shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of Utah, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Utah or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Utah. The provisions set forth in the Purchase Agreement to determine the proper venue for any disputes are incorporated herein by this reference.

15. Liquidated Damages. Lender and Borrower agree that in the event Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms or provisions of this Note, Lender’s damages would be uncertain and difficult (if not impossible) to accurately estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates, future share prices, future trading volumes and other relevant factors. Accordingly, Lender and Borrower agree that any fees, balance adjustments, Default Interest or other charges assessed under this Note are not penalties but instead are intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, liquidated damages.

Investor desires to purchase and Company desires to issue and sell, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement: (i) a Promissory Note A-1 in the original principal amount of $15,780,000.00 in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “A-1 Note”, and together with any notes issued pursuant to Section 1.7 below, the “A Notes”); and (ii) a Secured Promissory Note B in the original principal amount of $30,000,000.00 in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “B Note”, and together with the A Notes, the “Notes”; each individually, a “Note”).

C. This Agreement, the Notes, the DACA (as defined below), the Guaranty (as defined below), the Pledge Agreement (as defined below), and all other certificates, documents, agreements, resolutions and instruments delivered to any party under or in connection with this Agreement, as the same may be amended from time to time, are collectively referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents.”

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Company and Investor hereby agree as follows:

1. Purchase and Sale of Notes.

1.1. Purchase of Notes. Company hereby agrees to issue and sell to Investor and Investor hereby agrees to purchase from Company the A-1 Note and the B Note. In consideration thereof, Investor agrees to pay $45,000,000.00 (the “Purchase Price”) to Company.

1.2. Form of Payment. On the Closing Date (as defined below), Investor shall pay the Purchase Price to Company via wire transfer of immediately available funds against delivery of the A-1 Note and the B Note as follows: (i) $15,000,000.00 of the Purchase Price will be sent to Company for purchase of the A-1 Note; and (ii) $30,000,000.00 of the Purchase Price will be sent to Lakeside Bank to be held pursuant to the DACA for purchase of the B Note.

1.3. Closing Date. Subject to the satisfaction (or written waiver) of the conditions set forth in Section 5 and Section 6 below, the date of the issuance and sale of the Notes pursuant to this Agreement (the “Closing Date”) shall be April 17, 2026, or such other mutually agreed upon date. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall occur on the Closing Date by means of the exchange by exchange of electronic signatures but shall be deemed for all purposes to have occurred at the offices of Hansen Black Anderson Ashcraft PLLC in Lehi, Utah.

1.4. Original Issue Discount; Transaction Expense Amount. The A-1 Note carries an original issue discount of $750,000.00 (the “OID”). In addition, Company agrees to pay $30,000.00 to Investor to cover Investor’s legal, administrative and due diligence expenses incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of the Notes (the “Transaction Expense Amount”), all of which amount is included in the initial principal balance of the A-1 Note.

1.5. DACA. The B Note will be secured by cash held in a deposit account (“Deposit Account”) pursuant to a Deposit Account Control Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “DACA”). Company hereby grants to Investor a first-position security interest in the Deposit Account and acknowledges and agrees that Investor will have the right to file a UCC-1 Financing Statement with respect to the Deposit Account.

1.6. Collateral. Company’s obligations under the Notes will be guaranteed by: (a) a Guaranty in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “FFAI Holdings Guaranty”), to be executed by FFAI Holdings, LLC (“FFAI Holdings”), and certain other subsidiaries of Company set forth on the signature page to the Guaranty (such subsidiaries collectively with FFAI Holdings, the “Subsidiaries”; and each individually, a “Subsidiary”); and (b) a Pledge Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Pledge Agreement”).

1.7. B Note Exchanges. Each time the aggregate outstanding balance of all A Notes is reduced by at least $300,000.00, then Company will have the right to exchange not more than half of such balance reduction amount of the B Note for an A Note in the same form as the A-1 Note (each, a “Note Exchange”), but only if such Note Exchange is requested within five (5) Trading Days (as defined in the Notes) of the date of the applicable balance reduction of the A Notes and only so long as each of the Exchange Conditions (as defined below) is satisfied as of such date. If at any time the aggregate outstanding balance of all outstanding A Notes is less than $1,000,000.00, Company will have the right to consummate a Note Exchange in an amount up to $5,000,000.00, less the aggregate outstanding balance of all A Notes, but only if requested within five (5) Trading Days of the date of the applicable balance reduction of the A Notes and only so long as each of the Exchange Conditions is satisfied as of such date. For the avoidance of doubt, the two foregoing exchange amount calculations are either/or and cannot be used together. Each Note Exchange will be effected pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the 1933 Act. Each additional A Note issued pursuant to a Note Exchange will have the same interest rate, OID percentage, and other economic and other terms as the A-1 Note. For any A Note issued after the date that is six (6) months from the Effective Date, the Monitoring Fee (as defined in the A-1 Note) will be included in the initial principal balance of such A Note. The maturity date for each A Note issued pursuant to a Note Exchange will be equal to the greater of twelve (12) months and the length of time remaining on the B Note. Upon completion of a Note Exchange, an amount equal to the portion of the outstanding balance of the B Note exchanged for the applicable A Note will be eligible to be released from the Deposit Account. No additional Transaction Expense Amount will be assessed in connection with the issuance of any A Note pursuant to a Note Exchange. In addition, Borrower’s right to consummate a Note Exchange will also be subject to satisfaction of each of the following conditions (the “Exchange Conditions”): (i) the ‘Company’s Shareholders’ Equity’ as reported in its last periodic report and as used and defined in Company’s financial statements is at least $5,000,000.00; (ii) Company’s market capitalization is at least $5,000,000.00; (iii) Company has established and maintained the Share Reserve (as defined below) in accordance with Section 7 below (including adding any additional shares to the Share Reserve for each additional A Note); (iv) no Trigger Event (as defined in the Notes) shall have occurred and be continuing under any Note; (v) Company shall be in compliance with all required Nasdaq continued listing standards, other than the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(ii) during the pendency of the initial 180-day compliance period provided pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A); (vi) Company has not received a delisting determination notice with respect to its Common Shares from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department; and (vii) Company shall have obtained the Approval (as defined below) and the Approval shall be in full force and effect as of the applicable Exchange Date.

5. Conditions to Company’s Obligation to Sell. The obligation of Company hereunder to issue and sell the A-1 Note and B Note to Investor at the Closing is subject to the satisfaction, on or before the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions:

5.1. Investor shall have executed all applicable Transaction Documents and delivered the same to Company.

5.2. Investor shall have delivered the Purchase Price to Company in accordance with Section 1.2 above.

6. Conditions to Investor’s Obligation to Purchase. The obligation of Investor hereunder to purchase the A-1 Note and the B Note at the Closing is subject to the satisfaction, on or before the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions, provided that these conditions are for Investor’s sole benefit and may be waived by Investor at any time in its sole discretion:

6.1. Company shall have executed all applicable Transaction Documents and delivered the same to Investor.

6.4. FFAI Holdings and Lakeside Bank shall have executed and delivered the DACA to Investor.

6.5. The Subsidiaries shall have executed and delivered the Guaranty to Investor.

7. Reservation of Shares. Within ten (10) Trading Days following Company’s next annual or special stockholder meeting (the “Stockholder Meeting”), Company will reserve a number of Class A Shares (the “Share Reserve”) equal to (a)(i)(A) the aggregate outstanding balance of all outstanding A Notes divided by (B) the Minimum Price (as defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d)) (the “Nasdaq Minimum Price”) multiplied by (ii) one and a half (1.5) plus (b)(i)(A) the outstanding balance of the B Note divided by (B) the Nasdaq Minimum Price multiplied by (ii) one-half (0.5) (the “Reserve Calculation Amount”). Company agrees upon request from Investor (which request will not be more frequent than once a month) to add additional Class A Shares to the Share Reserve from time to time in increment of 100,000 shares if at any time after the Stockholder Meeting the number of Class A Shares held in the Share Reserve is less than the Reserve Calculation Amount. Company further agrees to add additional Class A Shares to the Share Reserve immediately prior to each issuance of an additional A Note to reflect the new Reserve Calculation Amount. Company shall further require its Transfer Agent to hold the Class A Shares reserved pursuant to the Share Reserve exclusively for the benefit of Investor.

8. Most Favored Nation. So long as any Note is outstanding, upon any issuance by Company of any debt security with a conversion/redemption/exchange price, original issue discounts, interest rate, or prepayment premium more favorable to the holder of such security than the corresponding term in the A Notes, then Company shall notify Investor of such more favorable term and such term, at Investor’s option, shall become a part of the Transaction Documents for the benefit of Investor. Additionally, if Company fails to notify Investor of any such more favorable term, but Investor becomes aware that Company has granted such a term to any third party, Investor may notify Company of such additional or more favorable term and such term shall become a part of the A Notes retroactive to the date on which such term was granted to the applicable third party.

9. Exchange Cap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Company shall not issue any Class A Shares pursuant to or in connection with any Note if such issuance would result in the aggregate issuance by Company of more than 19.99% of Company’s outstanding Class A Shares as of the date hereof (the “Exchange Cap”) for settlement of the obligations owed under the Notes, unless the Exchange Cap does not apply or Company obtains the prior approval of its stockholders (the “Approval”) in accordance with applicable law and the rules of the principal securities exchange or market on which the Class A Shares then listed or traded for issuances in excess of the Exchange Cap. In the event the Exchange Cap is reached, Company would be required to honor any Redemption Notice (as defined in the Notes) in cash. Company agrees to seek the Approval at its next Stockholder Meeting, and in the event Company fails to obtain the Approval within this initial period, it shall continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to seek and obtain the Approval at intervals of no more than ninety (90) days thereafter, until the Approval is obtained.

10. Miscellaneous. The provisions set forth in this Section 10 shall apply to this Agreement, as well as all other Transaction Documents as if these terms were fully set forth therein; provided, however, that in the event there is a conflict between any provision set forth in this Section 10 and any provision in any other Transaction Document, the provision in such other Transaction Document shall govern.

10.1. Arbitration of Claims. The parties shall submit all Claims (as defined in Exhibit H) arising under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any other agreement between the parties and their affiliates or any Claim relating to the relationship of the parties to binding arbitration pursuant to the arbitration provisions set forth in Exhibit H attached hereto (the “Arbitration Provisions”). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the injunction described in Section 10.3 below may be pursued in an arbitration that is separate and apart from any other arbitration regarding all other Claims arising under the Transaction Documents. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Arbitration Provisions are unconditionally binding on the parties hereto and are severable from all other provisions of this Agreement. By executing this Agreement, Company represents, warrants and covenants that Company has reviewed the Arbitration Provisions carefully, consulted with legal counsel about such provisions (or waived its right to do so), understands that the Arbitration Provisions are intended to allow for the expeditious and efficient resolution of any dispute hereunder, agrees to the terms and limitations set forth in the Arbitration Provisions, and that Company will not take a position contrary to the foregoing representations. Company acknowledges and agrees that Investor may rely upon the foregoing representations and covenants of Company regarding the Arbitration Provisions.

10.2. Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of Utah, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Utah or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Utah. Each party consents to and expressly agrees that the exclusive venue for arbitration of any dispute arising out of or relating to any Transaction Document or the relationship of the parties or their affiliates shall be in Salt Lake County, Utah. Without modifying the parties’ obligations to resolve disputes hereunder pursuant to the Arbitration Provisions, for any litigation arising in connection with any of the Transaction Documents, each party hereto hereby (i) consents to and expressly submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in Salt Lake County, Utah, (ii) expressly submits to the exclusive venue of any such court for the purposes hereof, and (iii) waives any claim of improper venue and any claim or objection that such courts are an inconvenient forum or any other claim, defense or objection to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdiction or to any claim that such venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. Company acknowledges that the governing law and venue provisions set forth in this Section 10.2 are material terms to induce Investor to enter into the Transaction Documents and that but for Company’s agreements set forth in this Section 10.2 Investor would not have entered into the Transaction Documents.

10.3. Specific Performance. Company acknowledges and agrees that Investor may suffer irreparable harm if Company fails to perform any material provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents in accordance with its specific terms. It is accordingly agreed that Investor shall be entitled to seek one or more injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement or such other Transaction Document and to seek to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof or thereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which Investor may be entitled under the Transaction Documents, at law or in equity. Company specifically agrees that: (i) following an Event of Default (as defined in the Notes) under any Note, Investor shall have the right to seek injunctive relief from a court or an arbitrator prohibiting Company from issuing any of its Class A Shares or preferred stock to any party unless fifty percent (50%) of the gross proceeds received by Company in connection with such issuance are simultaneously used by Company to make a payment under the Notes; (ii) following a breach of Section 4(v) above, Investor shall have the right to seek injunctive relief from a court or arbitrator invalidating such lock-up; and (iii) if Company enters into a definitive agreement that contemplates a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Notes), unless such agreement contains a closing condition that the Notes are repaid in full upon consummation of the transaction or Investor has provided its written consent in writing to such Fundamental Transaction, Investor shall have the right to seek injunctive relief from a court or arbitrator preventing the consummation of such transaction. Company specifically acknowledges that Investor’s right to seek specific performance constitutes bargained for leverage and that the loss of such leverage would result in irreparable harm to Investor. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event Investor seeks an injunction from a court or an arbitrator against Company or specific performance of any provision of any Transaction Document, such action shall not be a waiver of any right of Investor under any Transaction Document, at law, or in equity, including without limitation its rights to arbitrate any Claim pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents, nor shall Investor’s pursuit of an injunction prevent Investor, under the doctrines of claim preclusion, issues preclusion, res judicata or other similar legal doctrines, from pursuing other Claims in the future in a separate arbitration.

10.4. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via exchange of electronic signatures (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

10.5. Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.

10.6. Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform to such statute or rule of law. Any provision hereof which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.

10.7. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the other Transaction Documents, contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither Company nor Investor makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. For the avoidance of doubt, all prior term sheets or other documents between Company and Investor, or any affiliate thereof, related to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (collectively, “Prior Agreements”), that may have been entered into between Company and Investor, or any affiliate thereof, are hereby null and void and deemed to be replaced in their entirety by the Transaction Documents. To the extent there is a conflict between any term set forth in any Prior Agreement and the term(s) of the Transaction Documents, the Transaction Documents shall govern.

10.8. No Reliance. Company acknowledges and agrees that neither Investor nor any of its officers, directors, members, managers, representatives or agents has made any representations or warranties to Company or any of its officers, directors, representatives, agents or employees except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents and, in making its decision to enter into the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, Company is not relying on any representation, warranty, covenant or promise of Investor or its officers, directors, members, managers, agents or representatives other than as set forth in the Transaction Documents.

10.9. Amendments. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by both parties hereto.

EXHIBIT H

ARBITRATION PROVISIONS

1. Dispute Resolution. For purposes of these arbitration provisions (the “Arbitration Provisions”), the term “Claims” means any disputes, claims, demands, causes of action, requests for injunctive relief, requests for specific performance, liabilities, damages, losses, or controversies whatsoever arising from, related to, or connected with the transactions contemplated in the Transaction Documents and any communications between the parties related thereto, including without limitation any claims of mutual mistake, mistake, fraud, misrepresentation, failure of formation, failure of consideration, promissory estoppel, unconscionability, failure of condition precedent, rescission, and any statutory claims, tort claims, contract claims, or claims to void, invalidate or terminate the Agreement (or these Arbitration Provisions (defined below)) or any of the other Transaction Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, Investor’s pursuit of an injunction or other Claim pursuant to these Arbitration Provisions or with a court will not later prevent Investor under the doctrines of claim preclusion, issue preclusion, res judicata or other similar legal doctrines from pursuing other Claims in a separate arbitration in the future. The parties to the Agreement (the “parties”) hereby agree that the Claims may be arbitrated in one or more arbitrations pursuant to these Arbitration Provisions (one for an injunction or injunctions and a separate one for all other Claims). The parties to the Agreement hereby agree that these Arbitration Provisions are binding on each of them. As a result, any attempt to rescind the Agreement (or these Arbitration Provisions) or any other Transaction Document) or declare the Agreement (or these Arbitration Provisions) or any other Transaction Document invalid or unenforceable pursuant to Section 29 of the 1934 Act or for any other reason is subject to these Arbitration Provisions. Any capitalized term not defined in these Arbitration Provisions shall have the meaning set forth in the Agreement.

2. Arbitration. Except as otherwise provided herein, all Claims must be submitted to arbitration (“Arbitration”) to be conducted exclusively in Salt Lake County, Utah and pursuant to the terms set forth in these Arbitration Provisions. Subject to the arbitration appeal right provided for in Paragraph 5 below (the “Appeal Right”), the parties agree that the award of the arbitrator rendered pursuant to Paragraph 4 below (the “Arbitration Award”) shall be (a) final and binding upon the parties, (b) the sole and exclusive remedy between them regarding any Claims, counterclaims, issues, or accountings presented or pleaded to the arbitrator, and (c) promptly payable in United States dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset (with respect to monetary awards). Subject to the Appeal Right, any costs or fees, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with or incident to enforcing the Arbitration Award shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, be charged against the party resisting such enforcement. The Arbitration Award shall include default interest (as defined or otherwise provided for in the Note, “Default Interest”) (with respect to monetary awards) at the rate specified in the Note for Default Interest both before and after the Arbitration Award. Judgment upon the Arbitration Award will be entered and enforced by any state or federal court sitting in Salt Lake County, Utah.

3. The Arbitration Act. The parties hereby incorporate herein the provisions and procedures set forth in the Utah Uniform Arbitration Act, U.C.A. § 78B-11-101 et seq. (as amended or superseded from time to time, the “Arbitration Act”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to, and to the maximum extent permitted by, Section 105 of the Arbitration Act, in the event of conflict or variation between the terms of these Arbitration Provisions and the provisions of the Arbitration Act, the terms of these Arbitration Provisions shall control and the parties hereby waive or otherwise agree to vary the effect of all requirements of the Arbitration Act that may conflict with or vary from these Arbitration Provisions.

4. Arbitration Proceedings. Arbitration between the parties will be subject to the following:

4.1 Initiation of Arbitration. Pursuant to Section 110 of the Arbitration Act, the parties agree that a party may initiate Arbitration by giving written notice to the other party (“Arbitration Notice”) in the same manner that notice is permitted under Section 10.10 of the Agreement (the “Notice Provision”); provided, however, that the Arbitration Notice may not be given by email or fax. Arbitration will be deemed initiated as of the date that the Arbitration Notice is deemed delivered to such other party under the Notice Provision (the “Service Date”). After the Service Date, information may be delivered, and notices may be given, by email or fax pursuant to the Notice Provision or any other method permitted thereunder. The Arbitration Notice must describe the nature of the controversy, the remedies sought, and the election to commence Arbitration proceedings. All Claims in the Arbitration Notice must be pleaded consistent with the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure.

4.2 Selection and Payment of Arbitrator.

(a) Company and Investor shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to mutually select one (1) arbitrator that is designated as a “neutral” or qualified arbitrator by Utah ADR Services (http://www.utahadrservices.com). If Company and Investor cannot mutually agree on an arbitrator within ten (10) calendar days after the Service Date, Investor shall have an additional ten (10) calendar days to select and submit to Company the names of three (3) arbitrators that are designated as “neutrals” or qualified arbitrators by Utah ADR Services (such three (3) designated persons hereunder are referred to herein as the “Proposed Arbitrators”). For the avoidance of doubt, each Proposed Arbitrator must be qualified as a “neutral” with Utah ADR Services. Within ten (10) calendar days after Investor has submitted to Company the names of the Proposed Arbitrators, Company must select, by written notice to Investor, one (1) of the Proposed Arbitrators to act as the arbitrator for the parties under these Arbitration Provisions. If Company fails to select one of the Proposed Arbitrators in writing within such 10-day period, then Investor may select the arbitrator from the Proposed Arbitrators by providing written notice of such selection to Company.

(b) If Investor fails to submit to Company the Proposed Arbitrators within such ten (10) calendar day period pursuant to subparagraph (a) above, then Company may at any time prior to Investor so designating the Proposed Arbitrators, identify the names of three (3) arbitrators that are designated as “neutrals” or qualified arbitrators by Utah ADR Service by written notice to Investor. Investor may then, within ten (10) calendar days after Company has submitted notice of its Proposed Arbitrators to Investor, select, by written notice to Company, one (1) of the Proposed Arbitrators to act as the arbitrator for the parties under these Arbitration Provisions. If Investor fails to select in writing and within such 10-day period one (1) of the three (3) Proposed Arbitrators selected by Company, then Company may select the arbitrator from its three (3) previously selected Proposed Arbitrators by providing written notice of such selection to Investor.

(c) If a Proposed Arbitrator chosen to serve as arbitrator declines or is otherwise unable to serve as arbitrator, then the party that selected such Proposed Arbitrator may select one (1) of the other three (3) Proposed Arbitrators within three (3) calendar days of the date the chosen Proposed Arbitrator declines or notifies the parties he or she is unable to serve as arbitrator. If all three (3) Proposed Arbitrators decline or are otherwise unable to serve as arbitrator, then the arbitrator selection process shall begin again in accordance with this Paragraph 4.2.

(d) The date that the Proposed Arbitrator selected pursuant to this Paragraph 4.2 agrees in writing (including via email) delivered to both parties to serve as the arbitrator hereunder is referred to herein as the “Arbitration Commencement Date”. If an arbitrator resigns or is unable to act during the Arbitration, a replacement arbitrator shall be chosen in accordance with this Paragraph 4.2 to continue the Arbitration. If Utah ADR Services ceases to exist or to provide a list of neutrals and there is no successor thereto, then the arbitrator shall be selected under the then prevailing rules of the American Arbitration Association.

(e) Subject to Paragraph 4.10 below, the cost of the arbitrator must be paid equally by both parties. Subject to Paragraph 4.10 below, if one party refuses or fails to pay its portion of the arbitrator fee, then the other party can advance such unpaid amount (subject to the accrual of Default Interest thereupon), with such amount being added to or subtracted from, as applicable, the Arbitration Award.

4.3 Applicability of Certain Utah Rules. The parties agree that the Arbitration shall be conducted generally in accordance with the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure and the Utah Rules of Evidence. More specifically, the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure shall apply, without limitation, to the filing of any pleadings, motions or memoranda, the conducting of discovery, and the taking of any depositions. The Utah Rules of Evidence shall apply to any hearings, whether telephonic or in person, held by the arbitrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the parties’ intent that the incorporation of such rules will in no event supersede these Arbitration Provisions. In the event of any conflict between the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure or the Utah Rules of Evidence and these Arbitration Provisions, these Arbitration Provisions shall control.

4.4 Answer and Default. An answer and any counterclaims to the Arbitration Notice shall be required to be delivered to the party initiating the Arbitration within twenty (20) calendar days after the Arbitration Commencement Date. If an answer is not delivered by the required deadline, the arbitrator must provide written notice to the defaulting party stating that the arbitrator will enter a default award against such party if such party does not file an answer within five (5) calendar days of receipt of such notice. If an answer is not filed within the five (5) day extension period, the arbitrator must render a default award, consistent with the relief requested in the Arbitration Notice, against a party that fails to submit an answer within such time period.

4.5 Related Litigation. The party that delivers the Arbitration Notice to the other party shall have the option to also commence concurrent legal proceedings with any state or federal court sitting in Salt Lake County, Utah (“Litigation Proceedings”), subject to the following: (a) the complaint in the Litigation Proceedings is to be substantially similar to the claims set forth in the Arbitration Notice, provided that an additional cause of action to compel arbitration will also be included therein, (b) so long as the other party files an answer to the complaint in the Litigation Proceedings and an answer to the Arbitration Notice, the Litigation Proceedings will be stayed pending an Arbitration Award (or Appeal Panel Award (defined below), as applicable) hereunder, (c) if the other party fails to file an answer in the Litigation Proceedings or an answer in the Arbitration proceedings, then the party initiating Arbitration shall be entitled to a default judgment consistent with the relief requested, to be entered in the Litigation Proceedings, and (d) any legal or procedural issue arising under the Arbitration Act that requires a decision of a court of competent jurisdiction may be determined in the Litigation Proceedings. Any award of the arbitrator (or of the Appeal Panel (defined below)) may be entered in such Litigation Proceedings pursuant to the Arbitration Act. In the event either party successfully petitions a court to compel arbitration, the losing party in such action shall be required to pay the prevailing party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with such action.

4.6 Discovery. Pursuant to Section 118(3) of the Arbitration Act, the parties agree that discovery shall be conducted as follows:

(a) Written discovery will only be allowed if the likely benefits of the proposed written discovery outweigh the burden or expense thereof, and the written discovery sought is likely to reveal information that will satisfy a specific element of a claim or defense already pleaded in the Arbitration. The party seeking written discovery shall always have the burden of showing that all of the standards and limitations set forth in these Arbitration Provisions are satisfied. The scope of discovery in the Arbitration proceedings shall also be limited as follows:

(i) To facts directly connected with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement.

(ii) To facts and information that cannot be obtained from another source or in another manner that is more convenient, less burdensome or less expensive than in the manner requested.

(b) No party shall be allowed (i) more than fifteen (15) interrogatories (including discrete subparts), (ii) more than fifteen (15) requests for admission (including discrete subparts), (iii) more than ten (10) document requests (including discrete subparts), or (iv) more than three (3) depositions (excluding expert depositions) for a maximum of seven (7) hours per deposition. The costs associated with depositions will be borne by the party taking the deposition. The party defending the deposition will submit a notice to the party taking the deposition of the estimated reasonable attorneys’ fees that such party expects to incur in connection with defending the deposition. If the party defending the deposition fails to submit an estimate of reasonable attorneys’ fees within five (5) calendar days of its receipt of a deposition notice, then such party shall be deemed to have waived its right to the estimated reasonable attorneys’ fees. The party taking the deposition must pay the party defending the deposition the estimated reasonable attorneys’ fees prior to taking the deposition, unless such obligation is deemed to be waived as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. If the party taking the deposition believes that the estimated reasonable attorneys’ fees are unreasonable, such party may submit the issue to the arbitrator for a decision. All depositions will be taken in Utah.

(c) All discovery requests (including document production requests included in deposition notices) must be submitted in writing to the arbitrator and the other party. The party submitting the written discovery requests must include with such discovery requests a detailed explanation of how the proposed discovery requests satisfy the requirements of these Arbitration Provisions and the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure. The receiving party will then be allowed, within five (5) calendar days of receiving the proposed discovery requests, to submit to the arbitrator an estimate of the reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs associated with responding to such written discovery requests and a written challenge to each applicable discovery request. After receipt of an estimate of reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs and/or challenge(s) to one or more discovery requests, consistent with subparagraph (c) above, the arbitrator will within three (3) calendar days make a finding as to the likely reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs associated with responding to the discovery requests and issue an order that (i) requires the requesting party to prepay the reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs associated with responding to the discovery requests, and (ii) requires the responding party to respond to the discovery requests as limited by the arbitrator within twenty-five (25) calendar days of the arbitrator’s finding with respect to such discovery requests. If a party entitled to submit an estimate of reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs and/or a challenge to discovery requests fails to do so within such 5-day period, the arbitrator will make a finding that (A) there are no reasonable attorneys’ fees or costs associated with responding to such discovery requests, and (B) the responding party must respond to such discovery requests (as may be limited by the arbitrator) within twenty-five (25) calendar days of the arbitrator’s finding with respect to such discovery requests. Any party submitting any written discovery requests, including without limitation interrogatories, requests for production subpoenas to a party or a third party, or requests for admissions, must prepay the estimated reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, before the responding party has any obligation to produce or respond to the same, unless such obligation is deemed waived as set forth above.

(d) In order to allow a written discovery request, the arbitrator must find that the discovery request satisfies the standards set forth in these Arbitration Provisions and the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure. The arbitrator must strictly enforce these standards. If a discovery request does not satisfy any of the standards set forth in these Arbitration Provisions or the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure, the arbitrator may modify such discovery request to satisfy the applicable standards, or strike such discovery request in whole or in part.

(e) Each party may submit expert reports (and rebuttals thereto), provided that such reports must be submitted within sixty (60) days of the Arbitration Commencement Date. Each party will be allowed a maximum of two (2) experts. Expert reports must contain the following: (i) a complete statement of all opinions the expert will offer at trial and the basis and reasons for them; (ii) the expert’s name and qualifications, including a list of all the expert’s publications within the preceding ten (10) years, and a list of any other cases in which the expert has testified at trial or in a deposition or prepared a report within the preceding ten (10) years; and (iii) the compensation to be paid for the expert’s report and testimony. The parties are entitled to depose any other party’s expert witness one (1) time for no more than four (4) hours. An expert may not testify in a party’s case-in-chief concerning any matter not fairly disclosed in the expert report.

4.7 Dispositive Motions. Each party shall have the right to submit dispositive motions pursuant Rule 12 or Rule 56 of the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure (a “Dispositive Motion”). The party submitting the Dispositive Motion may, but is not required to, deliver to the arbitrator and to the other party a memorandum in support (the “Memorandum in Support”) of the Dispositive Motion. Within seven (7) calendar days of delivery of the Memorandum in Support, the other party shall deliver to the arbitrator and to the other party a memorandum in opposition to the Memorandum in Support (the “Memorandum in Opposition”). Within seven (7) calendar days of delivery of the Memorandum in Opposition, as applicable, the party that submitted the Memorandum in Support shall deliver to the arbitrator and to the other party a reply memorandum to the Memorandum in Opposition (“Reply Memorandum”). If the applicable party shall fail to deliver the Memorandum in Opposition as required above, or if the other party fails to deliver the Reply Memorandum as required above, then the applicable party shall lose its right to so deliver the same, and the Dispositive Motion shall proceed regardless.

4.8 Confidentiality. All information disclosed by either party (or such party’s agents) during the Arbitration process (including without limitation information disclosed during the discovery process or any Appeal (defined below)) shall be considered confidential in nature. Each party agrees not to disclose any confidential information received from the other party (or its agents) during the Arbitration process (including without limitation during the discovery process or any Appeal) unless (a) prior to or after the time of disclosure such information becomes public knowledge or part of the public domain, not as a result of any inaction or action of the receiving party or its agents, (b) such information is required by a court order, subpoena or similar legal duress to be disclosed if such receiving party has notified the other party thereof in writing and given it a reasonable opportunity to obtain a protective order from a court of competent jurisdiction prior to disclosure, or (c) such information is disclosed to the receiving party’s agents, representatives and legal counsel on a need to know basis who each agree in writing not to disclose such information to any third party. Pursuant to Section 118(5) of the Arbitration Act, the arbitrator is hereby authorized and directed to issue a protective order to prevent the disclosure of privileged information and confidential information upon the written request of either party.

4.9 Authorization; Timing; Scheduling Order. Subject to all other sections of these Arbitration Provisions, the parties hereby authorize and direct the arbitrator to take such actions and make such rulings as may be necessary to carry out the parties’ intent for the Arbitration proceedings to be efficient and expeditious. Pursuant to Section 120 of the Arbitration Act, the parties hereby agree that an Arbitration Award must be made within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after the Arbitration Commencement Date. The arbitrator is hereby authorized and directed to hold a scheduling conference within ten (10) calendar days after the Arbitration Commencement Date in order to establish a scheduling order with various binding deadlines for discovery, expert testimony, and the submission of documents by the parties to enable the arbitrator to render a decision prior to the end of such 120-day period.

4.10 Relief. The arbitrator shall have the right to award or include in the Arbitration Award (or in a preliminary ruling) any relief which the arbitrator deems proper under the circumstances, including, without limitation, specific performance and injunctive relief, provided that the arbitrator may not award exemplary or punitive damages.

4.11 [Reserved]

4.12 Motion to Vacate. Following the entry of the Arbitration Award, if either party desires to file a Motion to Vacate the Arbitration Award with a court in Salt Lake County, Utah, it must do so within the earlier of: (a) thirty (30) days of entry of the Arbitration Award; and (b) in response to the prevailing party’s Motion to Confirm the Arbitration Award.

5. Arbitration Appeal.

5.1 Initiation of Appeal. Following the entry of the Arbitration Award, either party (the “Appellant”) shall have a period of thirty (30) calendar days in which to notify the other party (the “Appellee”), in writing, that the Appellant elects to appeal (the “Appeal”) the Arbitration Award (such notice, an “Appeal Notice”) to a panel of arbitrators as provided in Paragraph 5.2 below. The date the Appellant delivers an Appeal Notice to the Appellee is referred to herein as the “Appeal Date”. The Appeal Notice must be delivered to the Appellee in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 4.1 above with respect to delivery of an Arbitration Notice. In addition, together with delivery of the Appeal Notice to the Appellee, the Appellant must also pay for (and provide proof of such payment to the Appellee together with delivery of the Appeal Notice) a bond in the amount of 110% of the sum the Appellant owes to the Appellee as a result of the Arbitration Award the Appellant is appealing. In the event an Appellant delivers an Appeal Notice to the Appellee (together with proof of payment of the applicable bond) in compliance with the provisions of this Paragraph 5.1, the Appeal will occur as a matter of right and, except as specifically set forth herein, will not be further conditioned. In the event a party does not deliver an Appeal Notice (along with proof of payment of the applicable bond) to the other party within the deadline prescribed in this Paragraph 5.1, such party shall lose its right to appeal the Arbitration Award. The Arbitration Award will be considered final until the Appeal Notice has been properly delivered and the applicable appeal bond has been posted (along with proof of payment of the applicable bond). The parties acknowledge and agree that any Appeal shall be deemed part of the parties’ agreement to arbitrate for purposes of these Arbitration Provisions and the Arbitration Act.

5.2 Selection and Payment of Appeal Panel. In the event an Appellant delivers an Appeal Notice to the Appellee (together with proof of payment of the applicable bond) in compliance with the provisions of Paragraph 5.1 above, the Appeal will be heard by a three (3) person arbitration panel (the “Appeal Panel”).

(a) Within ten (10) calendar days after the Appeal Date, the Appellee shall select and submit to the Appellant the names of five (5) arbitrators that are designated as “neutrals” or qualified arbitrators by Utah ADR Services (http://www.utahadrservices.com) (such five (5) designated persons hereunder are referred to herein as the “Proposed Appeal Arbitrators”). For the avoidance of doubt, each Proposed Appeal Arbitrator must be qualified as a “neutral” with Utah ADR Services, and shall not be the arbitrator who rendered the Arbitration Award being appealed (the “Original Arbitrator”). Within five (5) calendar days after the Appellee has submitted to the Appellant the names of the Proposed Appeal Arbitrators, the Appellant must select, by written notice to the Appellee, three (3) of the Proposed Appeal Arbitrators to act as the members of the Appeal Panel. If the Appellant fails to select three (3) of the Proposed Appeal Arbitrators in writing within such 5-day period, then the Appellee may select such three (3) arbitrators from the Proposed Appeal Arbitrators by providing written notice of such selection to the Appellant.

(b) If the Appellee fails to submit to the Appellant the names of the Proposed Appeal Arbitrators within ten (10) calendar days after the Appeal Date pursuant to subparagraph (a) above, then the Appellant may at any time prior to the Appellee so designating the Proposed Appeal Arbitrators, identify the names of five (5) arbitrators that are designated as “neutrals” or qualified arbitrators by Utah ADR Service (none of whom may be the Original Arbitrator) by written notice to the Appellee. The Appellee may then, within five (5) calendar days after the Appellant has submitted notice of its selected arbitrators to the Appellee, select, by written notice to the Appellant, three (3) of such selected arbitrators to serve on the Appeal Panel. If the Appellee fails to select in writing within such 5-day period three (3) of the arbitrators selected by the Appellant to serve as the members of the Appeal Panel, then the Appellant may select the three (3) members of the Appeal Panel from the Appellant’s list of five (5) arbitrators by providing written notice of such selection to the Appellee.

(c) If a selected Proposed Appeal Arbitrator declines or is otherwise unable to serve, then the party that selected such Proposed Appeal Arbitrator may select one (1) of the other five (5) designated Proposed Appeal Arbitrators within three (3) calendar days of the date a chosen Proposed Appeal Arbitrator declines or notifies the parties he or she is unable to serve as an arbitrator. If at least three (3) of the five (5) designated Proposed Appeal Arbitrators decline or are otherwise unable to serve, then the Proposed Appeal Arbitrator selection process shall begin again in accordance with this Paragraph 5.2; provided, however, that any Proposed Appeal Arbitrators who have already agreed to serve shall remain on the Appeal Panel.

(d) The date that all three (3) Proposed Appeal Arbitrators selected pursuant to this Paragraph 5.2 agree in writing (including via email) delivered to both the Appellant and the Appellee to serve as members of the Appeal Panel hereunder is referred to herein as the “Appeal Commencement Date”. No later than five (5) calendar days after the Appeal Commencement Date, the Appellee shall designate in writing (including via email) to the Appellant and the Appeal Panel the name of one (1) of the three (3) members of the Appeal Panel to serve as the lead arbitrator in the Appeal proceedings. Each member of the Appeal Panel shall be deemed an arbitrator for purposes of these Arbitration Provisions and the Arbitration Act, provided that, in conducting the Appeal, the Appeal Panel may only act or make determinations upon the approval or vote of no less than the majority vote of its members, as announced or communicated by the lead arbitrator on the Appeal Panel. If an arbitrator on the Appeal Panel ceases or is unable to act during the Appeal proceedings, a replacement arbitrator shall be chosen in accordance with Paragraph 5.2 above to continue the Appeal as a member of the Appeal Panel. If Utah ADR Services ceases to exist or to provide a list of neutrals, then the arbitrators for the Appeal Panel shall be selected under the then prevailing rules of the American Arbitration Association.

(d) Subject to Paragraph 5.7 below, the cost of the Appeal Panel must be paid entirely by the Appellant.

5.3 Appeal Procedure. The Appeal will be deemed an appeal of the entire Arbitration Award. In conducting the Appeal, the Appeal Panel shall conduct a de novo review of all Claims described or otherwise set forth in the Arbitration Notice. Subject to the foregoing and all other provisions of this Paragraph 5, the Appeal Panel shall conduct the Appeal in a manner the Appeal Panel considers appropriate for a fair and expeditious disposition of the Appeal, may hold one or more hearings and permit oral argument, and may review all previous evidence and discovery, together with all briefs, pleadings and other documents filed with the Original Arbitrator (as well as any documents filed with the Appeal Panel pursuant to Paragraph 5.4(a) below). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with the Appeal, the Appeal Panel shall not permit the parties to conduct any additional discovery or raise any new Claims to be arbitrated, shall not permit new witnesses or affidavits, and shall not base any of its findings or determinations on the Original Arbitrator’s findings or the Arbitration Award.

5.4 Timing.

(a) Within seven (7) calendar days of the Appeal Commencement Date, the Appellant (i) shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Appeal Panel copies of the Appeal Notice, all discovery conducted in connection with the Arbitration, and all briefs, pleadings and other documents filed with the Original Arbitrator (which material Appellee shall have the right to review and supplement if necessary), and (ii) may, but is not required to, deliver to the Appeal Panel and to the Appellee a Memorandum in Support of the Appellant’s arguments concerning or position with respect to all Claims, counterclaims, issues, or accountings presented or pleaded in the Arbitration. Within seven (7) calendar days of the Appellant’s delivery of the Memorandum in Support, as applicable, the Appellee shall deliver to the Appeal Panel and to the Appellant a Memorandum in Opposition to the Memorandum in Support. Within seven (7) calendar days of the Appellee’s delivery of the Memorandum in Opposition, as applicable, the Appellant shall deliver to the Appeal Panel and to the Appellee a Reply Memorandum to the Memorandum in Opposition. If the Appellant shall fail to substantially comply with the requirements of clause (i) of this subparagraph (a), the Appellant shall lose its right to appeal the Arbitration Award, and the Arbitration Award shall be final. If the Appellee shall fail to deliver the Memorandum in Opposition as required above, or if the Appellant shall fail to deliver the Reply Memorandum as required above, then the Appellee or the Appellant, as the case may be, shall lose its right to so deliver the same, and the Appeal shall proceed regardless.

(b) Subject to subparagraph (a) above, the parties hereby agree that the Appeal must be heard by the Appeal Panel within thirty (30) calendar days of the Appeal Commencement Date, and that the Appeal Panel must render its decision within thirty (30) calendar days after the Appeal is heard (and in no event later than sixty (60) calendar days after the Appeal Commencement Date).

5.5 Appeal Panel Award. The Appeal Panel shall issue its decision (the “Appeal Panel Award”) through the lead arbitrator on the Appeal Panel. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, the Appeal Panel Award shall (a) supersede in its entirety and make of no further force or effect the Arbitration Award (provided that any protective orders issued by the Original Arbitrator shall remain in full force and effect), (b) be final and binding upon the parties, with no further rights of appeal, (c) be the sole and exclusive remedy between the parties regarding any Claims, counterclaims, issues, or accountings presented or pleaded in the Arbitration, and (d) be promptly payable in United States dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset (with respect to monetary awards). Any costs or fees, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with or incident to enforcing the Appeal Panel Award shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, be charged against the party resisting such enforcement. The Appeal Panel Award shall include Default Interest (with respect to monetary awards) at the rate specified in the Note for Default Interest both before and after the Arbitration Award. Judgment upon the Appeal Panel Award will be entered and enforced by a state or federal court sitting in Salt Lake County, Utah.

5.6 Relief. The Appeal Panel shall have the right to award or include in the Appeal Panel Award any relief which the Appeal Panel deems proper under the circumstances, including, without limitation, specific performance and injunctive relief, provided that the Appeal Panel may not award exemplary or punitive damages.

5.7 Fees and Costs. As part of the Appeal Panel Award, the Appeal Panel is hereby directed to require the losing party (the party being awarded the least amount of money by the arbitrator, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be determined without regard to any statutory fines, penalties, fees, or other charges awarded to any party) to (a) pay the full amount of any unpaid costs and fees of the Arbitration and the Appeal Panel, and (b) reimburse the prevailing party (the party being awarded the most amount of money by the Appeal Panel, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be determined without regard to any statutory fines, penalties, fees, or other charges awarded to any part) the reasonable attorneys’ fees, arbitrator and Appeal Panel costs and fees, deposition costs, other discovery costs, and other expenses, costs or fees paid or otherwise incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the Arbitration (including without limitation in connection with the Appeal).

6. Miscellaneous.

6.1 Severability. If any part of these Arbitration Provisions is found to violate or be illegal under applicable law, then such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make such provision enforceable under applicable law, and the remainder of the Arbitration Provisions shall remain unaffected and in full force and effect.

6.2 Governing Law. These Arbitration Provisions shall be governed by the laws of the State of Utah without regard to the conflict of laws principles therein.

Exhibit 10.2

DEPOSIT ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT

This Deposit Account Control Agreement is made as of April 17, 2026, by and among Lakeside Bank, an Illinois banking corporation (the “Bank”), Streeterville Capital, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (the “Lender”), and FFAI Holdings, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (the “Guarantor”).

WHEREAS, Lender has agreed to purchase that certain Secured Promissory Note B in the original principal amount of $30,000,000.00, pursuant to that certain Note Purchase Agreement of even date herewith, by and between the Lender and Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc.;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of a Guaranty executed by Guarantor in favor of Lender on April 17, 2026, Guarantor has granted Lender a security interest and a lien on the deposit account described on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Deposit Account”) and the property held in the Deposit Account; and

WHEREAS, the parties wish to protect Lender’s interest in the Deposit Account and the property held therein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, it is hereby agreed that:

1. Deposit Account. The parties represent that:

(a) The Bank is maintaining the Deposit Account with the account number set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto;

(b) The Bank does not know of any claim to or interest in the Deposit Account, except for claims and interests of the parties referred to herein;

(c) The Deposit Account is owned by Guarantor whose taxpayer identification number is 42-1936754 and who authorizes account statements to be sent to it and Lender at the addresses specified in Section 17 of this Agreement; and

(d) The Deposit Account may also include a “Reserve Deposit Account”, which shall earn interest at the standard money market rate then in effect as set by the Bank at that time. If a Reserve Deposit Account is established, it shall be identified and listed in Exhibit A alongside the primary Deposit Account. Funds in the Reserve Deposit Account shall be subject to a Zero Balance Sweep arrangement between the Deposit Account and the Reserve Deposit Account, whereby collected funds in the Deposit Account will be automatically transferred to (and from) the Reserve Deposit Account as required to maintain a target balance of $5,000.00 in the Deposit Account at the close of each business day to accommodate posting and clearing activity and to ensure the proper functioning of the Zero Balance Sweep arrangement. The Reserve Deposit Account shall be deemed part of the Deposit Account for purposes of this Agreement, and all rights, interests, and control provisions applicable to the Deposit Account shall likewise apply to the Reserve Deposit Account.

2. Control by Lender. Lender shall have “control” over the Deposit Account and the funds therein for purposes of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code. The Bank will comply with all notifications or instructions it receives directing it to transfer or redeem any property in the Deposit Account (each, a “Lender Instruction Notice”) originated by Lender without further consent by Guarantor. Guarantor hereby expressly authorizes Bank to act in accordance with each Lender Instruction Notice without Guarantor’s consent or concurrence. Further, Guarantor agrees not to assert a claim or demand against Bank for complying with a Lender Instruction Notice received from Lender. Bank shall permit Lender to have view-only online access to the Deposit Account and any Reserve Deposit Account through Lender’s existing online banking credentials with Bank. Such access shall be limited to inquiry and reporting capabilities only, and any transfer or other disposition of funds shall continue to be governed exclusively by the terms of this Section 2. Guarantor hereby consents to such access and agrees that Bank’s provision thereof shall not violate any confidentiality obligation.

3. Guarantor’s Rights in the Deposit Account. Except for a Lender Instruction Notice, the Bank shall only comply with joint instructions originated and executed by Guarantor and Lender directing the disposition of funds in the Deposit Account.

4. Priority of Lender’s Lien. The Bank hereby acknowledges the first position security interest in the Deposit Account granted by Guarantor to Lender. The Bank hereby confirms that the Deposit Account is a cash account and that it will not advance any other credit to Guarantor. The Bank subordinates in favor of Lender any security interest, lien, encumbrance, claim or right of setoff it may have, now or in the future, against the Deposit Account or property in the Deposit Account or any free credit balance earned in the Deposit Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Bank is permitted to charge the Deposit Account: (a) for its usual and customary service charges, transfer fees and account maintenance fees and charges relating to such Deposit Account (the “Fees”); and (b) for any check deposited into the Deposit Account that is returned unpaid for any reason and for ACH credit entries that may have been originated by Guarantor but that have not settled within two (2) business days after the effective date of this Agreement or for any entries, whether credit or debit, that are subsequently returned thereafter (the “Returned Items”). In the event that there are not sufficient collected funds in such other accounts to pay the Fees and Returned Items, then Bank may charge the Deposit Account for such Fees and Returned Items. In the event that there are insufficient collected funds on deposit in the Deposit Account, Guarantor agrees upon demand to pay to Bank the amount of such Fees and Returned Items. If Guarantor fails to pay the amount demanded by Bank, Lender agrees to reimburse Bank within three (3) business days of demand thereof by Bank for any Returned Items and overdrafts to the extent Lender received payment in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.

5. Notices of Adverse Claims. The Bank will use reasonable efforts to promptly notify Lender and Guarantor if it receives notice at any time after the date of this Agreement that any other person claims that it has a property interest in property in the Deposit Account and that it is a violation of that person’s rights for anyone else to hold, transfer or deal with the property. For the avoidance of doubt, such notice shall be given in writing and in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in Section 17 below.

6. Bank’s Responsibility.

(a) The Bank will not be liable to Guarantor for complying with a Lender Instruction Notice originated by Lender or for failing to comply with directions concerning the Deposit Account from Guarantor, even if Guarantor notifies the Bank that Lender is not legally entitled to issue the Lender Instruction Notice or to restrict Lender’s access to the Deposit Account.

(b) This Agreement does not create any obligation of the Bank except for those expressly set forth in this Agreement.

(c) In no event shall Bank be liable, directly or indirectly, for any (i) damages or expenses arising out of services provided under this Agreement, other than damages which result from Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (ii) indirect, special or consequential damages, including, but not limited to, lost profits, even if Bank has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

(d) Bank will be excused from failing to act or delay in acting, and no such failure or delay shall constitute a breach of this Agreement or otherwise give rise to any liability of Bank if (i) such failure or delay is caused by circumstances beyond Bank’s reasonable control, including but not limited to legal constraint, emergency conditions, action or inaction of government, civil or military authority, fire, strike, lockout or other labor dispute, war, riot, theft, flood, or other natural disaster, COVID related orders and shutdowns, epidemics, breakdown of public or private or common carrier communications or transmission facilities, equipment failure, or negligence or default of Guarantor or Lender or (ii) such failure or delay resulted from Bank’s reasonable belief that the action would have violated any guideline, rule or regulation of any governmental authority.

(e) Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Agreement, in the event of the commencement of a case pursuant to Title 11, United States Code, filed by or against Guarantor, Bank may act as it deems necessary to comply with all applicable provisions of governing statutes and shall not be in violation of this Agreement as a result.

(f) Bank shall be permitted to comply with any writ, levy, citation, attachment, garnishment order or other similar judicial or regulatory order or process concerning the Deposit Account or any check and shall not be in violation of this Agreement for so doing; provided, however, Bank must take commercially reasonable actions to provide Guarantor and Lender with notice of any such order unless notice cannot be given by applicable law.

7. Indemnity. Guarantor and Lender, jointly and severally, will indemnify Bank and hold it harmless, together with its officers, directors, employees and agents against claims, liabilities and expenses and damages of any nature arising out of this Agreement (including, but not limited to, allocated costs of staff counsel, other reasonable attorneys’ fees and any other fees and expenses), except to the extent the claims, liabilities or expenses are caused by the Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

8. Termination; Survival.

(a) Lender may terminate this Agreement by notice to the Bank and Guarantor.

(b) If Lender notifies the Bank that Lender’s security interest in the Deposit Account has terminated, this Agreement will immediately terminate.

(c) Subsection 6(c) and Section 7, “Indemnity” shall survive termination of this Agreement.

9. Governing Law. This Agreement and the Deposit Account will be governed by the laws of the State of Illinois. The Bank and Guarantor may not change the law governing the Deposit Account without Lender’s express written agreement.

10. Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any litigation arising from or related to this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred in connection with such litigation or dispute, including any appeals, in addition to any other relief to which they may be entitled.

11. Jury Trial Waiver. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT.

12. Entire Agreement. If there is a conflict between this Agreement and any other agreement between Guarantor and the Bank, this Agreement shall control; provided, however, that the terms of this Agreement shall not be deemed or construed to make Lender a party to such account agreement. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement is the entire agreement and supersedes any prior agreements and contemporaneous oral agreements of the parties concerning its subject matter.

13. Amendments. No amendment of, or waiver of a right under, this Agreement will be binding unless it is in writing and signed by the party to be charged.

14. Severability. To the extent a provision of this Agreement is unenforceable, this Agreement will be construed as if the unenforceable provision were omitted.

15. Successors and Assigns. A successor to or assignee of Lender’s rights and obligations under the Guaranty will succeed to Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

17. Notice. Any notices and demands under or related to this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered to the intended party at its address or email stated below, and if to Lender, at its main office if no other address of Lender is specified herein, by one of the following means: (a) by hand, (b) by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, (c) by certified mail, postage prepaid, with return receipt requested, or (d) by email. Notice shall be deemed given: (i) upon receipt if delivered by hand, (ii) on the Delivery Day after the day of deposit with a nationally recognized courier service, (iii) on the third Delivery Day after the notice is deposited in the mail, or (iv) when transmitted to the email address specified below and a confirmation receipt is received by the sender. “Delivery Day” means a day other than a Saturday, a Sunday, or any other day on which national banking associations located in Illinois are authorized to be closed. Any party may change its address for purposes of the receipt of notices and demands by giving notice of such change in the manner provided in this provision.

PLEDGE AGREEMENT

This Pledge Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of April 17, 2026 by and between Streeterville Capital, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“Secured Party”), and Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Pledgor”).

A. Effective as of the date hereof, Secured Party purchased from Pledgor that certain Secured Promissory Note B of even date herewith in the original principal amount of $30,000,000.00 (the “Note”). The Note was issued pursuant to a certain Notes Purchase Agreement of even date herewith between Secured Party and Pledgor (the “Purchase Agreement”). Any capitalized term referred to herein without definition shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Purchase Agreement.

B. Pledgor has agreed to pledge all of the membership interests it owns in FFAI Holdings, LLC, a Utah limited liability company and a subsidiary of Pledgor (“FFAI Holdings”), to secure performance of Pledgor’s obligations under the Note and related documents.

C. Secured Party purchased the Note in reliance on Pledgor’s agreement to provide this pledge of the FFAI Holdings membership interests as set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of $10.00, the premises, the mutual covenants and conditions contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Grant of Security Interest. Pledgor hereby pledges to Secured Party as collateral and security for the Secured Obligations (as defined in Section 2) and grants Secured Party a first-position security interest in the membership interests of FFAI Holdings held by Pledgor (the “Pledged Equity”). Secured Party shall have the right to exercise the rights and remedies set forth herein and in the Transaction Documents if an Event of Default (as defined in the Note) has occurred. Such Pledged Equity, together with any additions, replacements, accessions or substitutes therefor or proceeds thereof, are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Collateral.”

2. Secured Obligations. During the term hereof, the Collateral shall secure the performance by Pledgor of all of its obligations under the Note and the other Transaction Documents (the “Secured Obligations”).

3. Perfection of Security Interest.

(a) Pledgor will, at Pledgor’s own expense, cause to be searched the public records with respect to the Collateral and will execute, deliver, file and record (in such manner and form as Secured Party may require), or permit Secured Party to file and record, as Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact, any financing statements, any carbon, photographic or other reproduction of a financing statement or this Agreement (which shall be sufficient as a financing statement hereunder), and any specific assignments or other paper that may be reasonably necessary or reasonably requested to exercise, enforce, create, preserve, perfect or validate any security interest granted hereby. Pledgor hereby appoints Secured Party as Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact to execute in the name and on behalf of Pledgor such additional financing statements as Secured Party may request.

(b) Pledgor hereby authorizes Secured Party to file one or more UCC-1 financing statements or other appropriate documents with applicable governmental agencies to evidence, perfect, and/or protect Secured Party’s security interest in the Collateral.

4. Assignment. In connection with the transfer of the Note, Secured Party may assign or transfer the whole or any part of Secured Party’s security interest granted hereunder. Any such assignee or transferee of Secured Party shall be vested with all of the rights and powers of Secured Party hereunder with respect to the Collateral. Any assignee or transferee of Secured Party shall, as a condition to such assignment, expressly assume in writing all obligations of Secured Party under this Agreement, including all limitations on remedies and enforcement hereunder.

5. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Pledgor.

(a) Title. Pledgor hereby represents and warrants to Secured Party as follows with respect to the Collateral:

(i) The Pledged Equity has been duly authorized and validly issued by FFAI Holdings and is duly and validly owned by Pledgor;

(ii) The Pledged Equity represents 100% of the outstanding equity interests in FFAI Holdings;

(iii) The Pledged Equity is free from all taxes, liens, claims, pledges, mortgages, restrictions, obligations, security interests and encumbrances of any kind, nature or description, and will not subject Secured Party to personal liability by reason of being the holder thereof;

(iv) Pledgor has fully performed under all agreements between it and FFAI Holdings pursuant to which the Pledged Equity was issued and FFAI Holdings has no claims, defenses or rights of offset against Pledgor or the Pledged Equity pursuant to the terms of any such agreements;

(v) Pledgor is the sole owner of the Collateral;

(vi) Pledgor further agrees not to grant or create any security interest, claim, transfer restriction, lien, pledge or other encumbrance with respect to such Collateral or attempt to or actually sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, until the Secured Obligations have been paid and performed in full, except as expressly permitted under the Note or with the prior written consent of Secured Party; and

(vii) This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Pledgor enforceable in accordance with its terms (except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium, and similar laws now or hereafter in effect).

(b) Other.

(i) Pledgor fully intends to fulfill and has the capability of fulfilling the Secured Obligations to be performed by Pledgor in accordance with the terms of the Note.

(ii) Pledgor is not acting, and has not agreed to act, in any plan to sell or dispose of any Pledged Equity in a manner intended to circumvent the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any applicable state law.

(iii) Pledgor has been advised by counsel of the elements of a bona-fide pledge for purposes of determining the holding period for restricted securities under Rule 144(d)(3)(iv) under the Securities Act, including the relevant U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission interpretations, and affirms that the pledge of the Pledged Equity by Pledgor pursuant to this Agreement will constitute a bona-fide pledge of such Pledged Equity for purposes of such Rule.

(iv) Pledgor will not consent to or otherwise approve of, or cause FFAI Holdings to consent to or otherwise approve of or take any action that amends or alters the rights of the Pledged Equity to the detriment of Secured Party without the written consent of Secured Party to such amendment. Pledgor further covenants and agrees not to take any action that would impair Secured Party’s rights hereunder or as a holder of the Pledged Equity without the written consent of Secured Party.

6. Collection of Dividends and Interest. After the occurrence of any Event of Default, Secured Party shall be authorized to collect as additional Collateral all dividends, distributions, interest payments, and other amounts that may be, or may become, due on any of the Collateral, to be held under the terms hereof in the same manner as the Collateral.

7. Voting Rights. During the term of this Agreement and until such time as this Agreement has terminated or Secured Party has exercised Secured Party’s rights under this Agreement to foreclose Secured Party’s interest in the Collateral, Pledgor shall have the right to exercise any voting rights evidenced by, or relating to, the Collateral, provided that such voting rights shall not be exercised in any manner that would materially impair the value of the Collateral in a manner inconsistent with this Agreement or the Note.

8. Warrants and Options. In the event that, during the term of this Agreement, subscription, spin-off, warrants, dividends, or any other rights or option shall be issued in connection with the Collateral, such warrants, dividends, rights and options shall immediately be deemed to have become part of the Collateral and, to the extent such items of Collateral are certificated, shall promptly be delivered to Secured Party to be held under the terms hereof in the same manner as the Collateral.

9. Preservation of the Value of the Collateral. Pledgor shall pay all taxes, charges, and assessments against the Collateral and do all acts necessary to preserve and maintain the value thereof.

10. Secured Party as Pledgor’s Attorney-in-Fact.

(a) Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints Secured Party as Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of Pledgor and in the name of Pledgor, Secured Party or otherwise, only after the occurrence of an Event of Default, from time to time at Secured Party’s discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument, that Secured Party may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including: (i), to receive, endorse, and collect all instruments made payable to Pledgor representing any dividend, interest payment or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof to the extent permitted hereunder and to give full discharge for the same and to execute and file governmental notifications and reporting forms; and (ii) to arrange for the transfer of the Collateral on the books of FFAI Holdings or any other person to the name of Secured Party or to the name of Secured Party’s nominee.

(b) In addition to the designation of Secured Party as Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact in subsection (a), Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints Secured Party as Pledgor’s agent and attorney-in-fact, only after the occurrence of an Event of Default, to make, execute and deliver any and all documents and writings which may be necessary or appropriate for approval of, or be required by, any regulatory authority located in any city, county, state or country where Pledgor or FFAI Holdings engages in business, in order to transfer or to more effectively transfer any of the Pledged Equity or otherwise enforce Secured Party’s rights hereunder.

11. Remedies upon Default. After the occurrence of any Event of Default:

(a) Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to Secured Party, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under applicable law, including without limitation the Utah Uniform Commercial Code (irrespective of whether such applies to the affected items of Collateral), and Secured Party may also without notice (except as specified below) sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable, irrespective of the impact of any such sales on the market price of the Collateral; provided that Secured Party shall give Pledgor at least thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice of any such sale, which notice shall briefly describe the Event of Default and the proposed time and manner of sale, and during such notice period Pledgor may cure the Event of Default to prevent such sale. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any such sale and shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply all or any part of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price of any Collateral payable at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of Pledgor, and Pledgor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay, or appraisal that Pledgor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least thirty (30) calendar days’ notice to Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which a private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Pledgor hereby waives any claims against Secured Party arising because the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale, even if Secured Party accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree.

(b) Pledgor hereby agrees that any sale or other disposition of the Collateral conducted in conformity with reasonable commercial practices of banks, insurance companies, or other financial institutions in the city and state where Secured Party is located in disposing of property similar to the Collateral shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable.

(c) Pledgor hereby acknowledges that the sale by Secured Party of any Collateral pursuant to the terms hereof in compliance with the Securities Act, as well as applicable “Blue Sky” or other state securities laws, may require strict limitations as to the manner in which Secured Party, or any subsequent transferee of the Collateral, may dispose thereof. Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that in order to protect Secured Party’s interest it may be necessary to sell the Collateral at a price less than the maximum price attainable if a sale were delayed or were made in another manner, such as a public offering under the Securities Act. Pledgor has no objection to a sale in such a manner and agrees that Secured Party shall have no obligation to obtain the maximum possible price for the Collateral, provided that all dispositions shall be commercially reasonable under applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Pledgor agrees that, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Secured Party may, subject to applicable law, from time to time attempt to sell all or any part of the Collateral by a private placement, restricting the bidders and prospective purchasers to those who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for investment only and not for distribution. In so doing, Secured Party may solicit offers to buy the Collateral or any part thereof for cash, from a limited number of investors reasonably believed by Secured Party to be institutional investors or other accredited investors who might be interested in purchasing the Collateral. If Secured Party shall solicit such offers, then the acceptance by Secured Party of one of the offers shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable method of disposition of the Collateral.

(d) If Secured Party shall determine to exercise Secured Party’s right to sell all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to this Section, then Pledgor agrees that, upon request of Secured Party, Pledgor, at Pledgor’s own expense, shall:

(i) execute and deliver, or cause the officers and directors of FFAI Holdings to execute and deliver, to any person, entity or governmental authority as Secured Party may choose, any and all documents and writings which, in Secured Party’s reasonable judgment, may be necessary or appropriate for approval, or be required by, any regulatory authority located in any city, county or state where Pledgor or FFAI Holdings engage in business, in order to transfer or to more effectively transfer the Collateral or otherwise enforce Secured Party’s rights hereunder; and

(ii) do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be lawful and reasonably necessary to make such sale of the Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law.

Pledgor acknowledges that there is no adequate remedy at law for failure by Pledgor to comply with the provisions of this Section 11 and that such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages and therefore agrees that Pledgor’s agreements contained in this Section 11 may be specifically enforced.

(e) PLEDGOR EXPRESSLY WAIVES TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: (i) ANY CONSTITUTIONAL OR OTHER RIGHT TO A JUDICIAL HEARING PRIOR TO THE TIME SECURED PARTY DISPOSES OF ALL OR ANY PART OF THE COLLATERAL AS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION; (ii) ALL RIGHTS OF REDEMPTION, STAY, OR APPRAISAL THAT PLEDGOR NOW HAS OR MAY AT ANY TIME IN THE FUTURE HAVE UNDER ANY RULE OF LAW OR STATUTE NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ENACTED; AND (iii) EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SUBSECTION (a) OF THIS SECTION 11, ANY REQUIREMENT OF NOTICE, DEMAND, OR ADVERTISEMENT FOR SALE, TO THE EXTEND PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

12. Application of Proceeds. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, any cash held by Secured Party as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by Secured Party in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral pursuant to the exercise by Secured Party of Secured Party’s remedies as a secured creditor as provided in Section 11 shall be applied from time to time by Secured Party as follows:

(a) First, to the payment of reasonable costs and expenses, including all amounts expended to preserve the value of the Collateral, of foreclosure or suit, if any, and of such sale and the exercise of any other rights or remedies, and of all proper fees, expenses, liability and advances, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees and brokerage commissions related to selling any Collateral, incurred or made hereunder by Secured Party;

(b) Second, to the payment to Secured Party of the amount then owing or unpaid on the Note (to be applied first to any charges, fees and other expenses incurred thereunder, then to accrued interest and finally to outstanding principal) and under any of the other Transaction Documents; and

(c) Third, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to Pledgor, Pledgor’s assigns, or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, including the transfer to Pledgor of any remaining Collateral that has not been converted to cash proceeds. For the avoidance of doubt, any Pledged Equity that are not sold to satisfy Pledgor’s Secured Obligations shall be returned to Pledgor following the satisfaction of all of the Secured Obligations. Except as expressly provided in Section 12(c) above, Secured Party shall have no obligation to return any cash proceeds applied in accordance with this Section 12.

In the absence of final payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Secured Obligations, Pledgor shall remain liable for any deficiency.

13. Indemnity and Expenses. Pledgor agrees:

(a) To indemnify and hold harmless Secured Party and each of Secured Party’s agents and affiliates from and against any and all claims, damages, demands, losses, obligations, judgments and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Secured Obligations, except to the extent the same shall arise as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement or the Note of the party seeking to be indemnified; and

(b) To pay and reimburse Secured Party upon demand for all reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) that Secured Party may incur in connection with (i) the custody, use or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, including the reasonable expenses of re-taking, holding, preparing for sale or lease, selling or otherwise disposing of or realizing on the Collateral, (ii) the exercise or enforcement of any rights or remedies granted hereunder, under the Note or otherwise available to Secured Party (whether at law, in equity or otherwise), or (iii) the failure by Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof. The provisions of this Section 13 shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the repayment of any of the Secured Obligations, the termination of the commitments of Secured Party under the Note and the termination of this Agreement.

14. Duties of Secured Party. The powers conferred upon Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect Secured Party’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose on Secured Party any duty to exercise such powers. Except as provided in Section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Utah, Secured Party shall have no duty with respect to the Collateral or any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any persons with respect to any Collateral.

15. Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of Utah, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Utah or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Utah. The provisions set forth in the Purchase Agreement to determine the proper venue for any disputes are incorporated herein by this reference.

16. Arbitration of Claims. Each party agrees to be bound by the Arbitration Provisions set forth as an exhibit to the Purchase Agreement. For clarity, such arbitration shall be conducted in Salt Lake City, Utah.

17. Amendments; etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor consent to any departure by Pledgor herefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Secured Party and Pledgor, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No failure on the part of Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right under this Agreement, any other document or documents delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Note, this Agreement or any other agreement entered into in conjunction herewith or therewith, or otherwise with respect to any of the Secured Obligations, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right under this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, or otherwise with respect to any of the Secured Obligations preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies provided for in this Agreement or otherwise with respect to any of the Secured Obligations are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by other agreement or applicable law.

18. Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing (unless otherwise specified herein) and shall be deemed effectively given on the earliest of: (a) the date delivered, if delivered by personal delivery as against written receipt therefor or by e-mail to an executive officer, or by facsimile (with successful transmission confirmation), (b) the earlier of the date delivered or the third business day after deposit, postage prepaid, in the United States Postal Service by certified mail, or (c) the earlier of the date delivered or the third business day after mailing by express courier, with delivery costs and fees prepaid, in each case, addressed to each of the other parties thereunto entitled at the addresses set forth in the Purchase Agreement in the “Notices” section (or at such other addresses as such party may designate by five (5) calendar days’ advance written notice similarly given to each of the other parties hereto).

19. Continuing Security Interest; Term. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall: (a) remain in full force and effect until the indefeasible payment and performance in full of all the Secured Obligations; (b) be binding upon Pledgor and Pledgor’s successors and assigns; and (c) inure to the benefit of Secured Party and Secured Party’s successors, transferees, and assigns. Upon the indefeasible payment and performance in full of all of the Secured Obligations, the security interests granted herein shall automatically, and without further action of Pledgor or Secured Party required, terminate, all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Pledgor and the term of this Agreement shall end. Upon any such termination, Secured Party, at its own expense, shall promptly execute and deliver to Pledgor such documents as Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination. Such documents shall be prepared by Pledgor and shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all provisions of this Agreement that by their nature are intended to survive the termination of this Agreement shall so survive such termination.

20. Security Interest Absolute. To the maximum extent permitted by law, all rights of Secured Party, all security interests hereunder, and all obligations of Pledgor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any of the Secured Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, including any of the Transaction Documents; (b) any change in the time, manner, or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any of the Transaction Documents, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(c) any exchange, release, or non-perfection of any other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty for all or any of the Secured Obligations; or

(d) any other circumstances that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Pledgor.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be deemed to waive any defense arising from the failure of Secured Party to apply or dispose of the Collateral in accordance with this Agreement or applicable law.

21. Headings. Section and subsection headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement or be given any substantive effect.

22. Severability. If any part of this Agreement is construed to be in violation of any law, such part shall be modified to achieve the objective of the parties to the fullest extent permitted by law and the balance of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

23. Counterparts; Electronic Execution. This Agreement may be executed electronically in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or email shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.

24. Waiver of Marshaling. Each of Pledgor and Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that in exercising any rights under or with respect to the Collateral Secured Party: (a) is under no obligation to marshal any Collateral; (b) may, in Secured Party’s absolute discretion, realize upon the Collateral in any order and in any manner Secured Party so elects; and (c) may, in Secured Party’s sole and absolute discretion, apply the proceeds of any or all of the Collateral to the Secured Obligations in any order and in any manner Secured Party so elects, without any duty to maximize recovery or minimize losses. Pledgor and Secured Party waive any right to require the marshaling of any of the Collateral.

25. Waiver of Jury Trial. PLEDGOR AND SECURED PARTY HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY CLAIMS. PLEDGOR AND SECURED PARTY REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER AND EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

26. Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any action at law or in equity to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement, the parties agree that the party who is awarded the most money shall be deemed the prevailing party for all purposes and shall therefore be entitled to an additional award of the full amount of the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses paid by such prevailing party in connection with the litigation and/or dispute without reduction or apportionment based upon the individual claims or defenses giving rise to the fees and expenses. Nothing herein shall restrict or impair a court’s power to award fees and expenses for frivolous or bad faith pleading.

27. Recitals. The recitals of this Agreement are contractual in nature and are hereby agreed to and incorporated into this Agreement.

28. Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Secured Party, Pledgor will promptly (and in any event within 5 business days) execute and deliver any and all such further instruments and documents as Secured Party may reasonably deem necessary to obtain the full benefits and security of this Agreement, including, without limitation, executing and filing such financing or continuation statements, securities account control agreements or amendments thereto, as may be necessary or desirable or that Secured Party may reasonably request in order to perfect, preserve and enforce the security interest created hereby.

THE PROXIES AND POWERS GRANTED BY PLEDGOR PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT ARE COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND ARE GIVEN TO SECURE THE PERFORMANCE OF PLEDGOR’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

Exhibit 10.4

GUARANTY

This GUARANTY, made effective as of April 17, 2026, is given by FFAI Holdings, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“FFAI Holdings”), and each of the undersigned entities set forth on the signature page hereto (all such entities together with FFAI Holdings, “Guarantors”, and each individually, a “Guarantor”) for the benefit of Streeterville Capital, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“Investor”).

PURPOSE

A. Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc., a Delaware corporation and parent of Guarantors (“Company”), has issued to Investor: (i) that certain Secured Promissory Note A-1 of even date herewith in the original principal amount of $15,780,000.00 (the “A-1 Note”); and (ii) that certain Secured Promissory Note B of even date herewith in the original principal amount of $30,000,000.00 (the “B Note”, and together with the A-1 Note and any other notes that may be issued pursuant to exchanges of the B Note, the “Notes”).

B. The A-1 Note and the B Note were issued pursuant to the terms of a Notes Purchase Agreement of even date herewith between Company and Investor (the “Purchase Agreement”).

C. Investor agreed to provide the financing to Company evidenced by the Notes only upon the inducement and representation of Guarantors that they would guaranty certain indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of Company owed to Investor under the Notes, as provided herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of $10.00 and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and in order to induce Investor to purchase the A-1 Note and the B Note and provide the financing contemplated therein, each Guarantor hereby agrees for the benefit of Investor as follows:

GUARANTY

1. Indebtedness Guaranteed. Each Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees the prompt payment in full of the Obligations (as defined below), as and when the same (including without limitation portions thereof) become due and payable. Each Guarantor acknowledges that the amount of the Obligations may exceed the principal amount of the Notes. Each Guarantor further acknowledges that the foregoing guarantee is made for the timely payment and performance of each of the Obligations and is not merely a guaranty of collection. For purposes of this Guaranty, “Obligations” means (a) all loans, advances, debts, liabilities and obligations, arising on or after the date of this Guaranty, owed by Company or Guarantors to Investor, pursuant to the Notes, the Purchase Agreement, or any other Transaction Documents, including any modification or amendment to any of the foregoing, and (b) all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with enforcement or collection actions incurred by Investor in connection with the Notes or in connection with the collection or enforcement of any portion of the Obligations.

2. DACA. The Obligations shall be secured by a Deposit Account Control Agreement of even date herewith among FFAI Holdings, Lakeside Bank (the “Bank”), and Investor (the “DACA”), the Deposit Account (as defined in the DACA), and the funds held therein pursuant to the DACA. FFAI Holdings hereby grants to Investor a first-position security interest in and lien on the Deposit Account and the funds held in the Deposit Account and acknowledges and agrees that Investor will have the right to file a UCC-1 Financing Statement with respect to the Deposit Account. FFAI Holdings acknowledges and agrees that Investor will have control over the Deposit Account within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the Uniform Commercial Code pursuant to the terms of the DACA. FFAI Holdings covenants and agrees that Investor is authorized to deliver a Lender Instruction Notice (pursuant to and as defined in the DACA) to the Bank directing the disposition of the funds held in the Deposit Account: (a) upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event (as defined in the Notes); or (b) upon Investor’s receipt of a notice from Company pursuant to Section 4(vii) of the Purchase Agreement (or otherwise becoming aware of an action described therein). Upon sending a Lender Instruction Notice, Investor will have the right without further notice or demand, to apply all or any portion of the funds held in the Deposit Account to the Obligations.

3. Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to Investor that:

(a) Guarantor is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation and has the power and authority and the legal right to own and operate its properties and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged.

(b) Guarantor has the power and authority and the legal right to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, this Guaranty and has taken all necessary action required by its form of organization to authorize such execution, delivery and performance.

(c) This Guaranty constitutes Guarantor’s legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

(d) The execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty will not (i) violate any provision of any law, statute, rule or regulation or any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any court, governmental agency or arbitrator presently in effect having applicability to Guarantor, (ii) violate or contravene any provision of Guarantor’s organizational documents, or (iii) result in a breach of or constitute a default under any indenture, loan or credit agreement or any other material agreement, lease or instrument to which Guarantor is a party or by which it or any of its properties may be bound or result in the creation of any lien thereunder. Guarantor is not in default under or in violation of any such law, statute, rule or regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award or any such indenture, loan or credit agreement or other agreement, lease or instrument in any case in which the consequences of such default or violation could have a material adverse effect on its business, operations, properties, assets or condition (financial or otherwise).

(e) No order, consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, any governmental or public body or authority is required on Guarantor’s part to authorize, or is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of, or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of, this Guaranty.

(f) There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to Guarantor’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting Guarantor or any of its properties before any court or arbitrator, or any governmental department, board, agency or other instrumentality which, if determined adversely to Guarantor, would have a material adverse effect on its business, operations, property or condition (financial or otherwise) or on its ability to perform its obligations hereunder.

(g) (i) This Guaranty is not given with actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any entity to which Guarantor is, or will become on or after the date of this Guaranty, indebted, (ii) Guarantor has received at least a reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the giving of this Guaranty, (iii) Guarantor is not insolvent, as defined in any applicable state or federal statute, nor will Guarantor be rendered insolvent by the execution and delivery of this Guaranty to Investor, and (iv) Guarantor does not intend to incur debts that will be beyond Guarantor’s ability to pay as such debts become due.

(h) Guarantor has examined or has had the full opportunity to examine the A-1 Note and the B Note and all the other Transaction Documents, all the terms of which are acceptable to Guarantor.

(i) This Guaranty is given in consideration of Investor entering into the A-1 Note and the B Note and providing financing thereunder.

(j) Guarantor has received adequate consideration and at least a reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the giving of this Guaranty, which Guarantor hereby acknowledges having received, and thereby will materially benefit from the financial accommodations granted to Company by Investor pursuant to the Notes. Investor may rely conclusively on the continuing warranty, hereby made, that Guarantor continues to be benefitted by Investor’s extension of credit accommodations to Company and Investor shall have no duty to inquire into or confirm the receipt of any such benefits, and this Guaranty shall be effective and enforceable by Investor without regard to the receipt, nature or value of any such benefits. As such, this Guaranty is a valid and binding obligation of Guarantor. Guarantor further covenants and agrees that it will not use lack of consideration as a defense to its performance of its obligations under this Guaranty.

4. Alteration of Obligations. In such manner, upon such terms and at such times as Investor and Company deem best and without notice to Guarantor, Investor and Company may alter, compromise, accelerate, extend, renew or change the time or manner for the payment of any Obligation, increase or reduce the rate of interest on the Notes, release Company, as to all or any portion of the Obligations, release, substitute or add any one or more guarantors or endorsers, accept additional or substituted security therefor, or release or subordinate any security therefor. No exercise or non-exercise by Investor of any right available to Investor, no dealing by Investor with Guarantors or any other guarantor, endorser of the Notes or any other person, and no change, impairment or release of all or a portion of the obligations of Company under any of the Transaction Documents or suspension of any right or remedy of Investor against any person, including, without limitation, Company and any other such guarantor, endorser or other person, shall in any way affect any of the obligations of Guarantors hereunder or any security furnished by Guarantors or give Guarantors any recourse against Investor. Guarantors acknowledges that its obligations hereunder are independent of the obligations of Company.

5. Waiver. To the extent permitted by law, each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes all rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to guarantors and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any such rights or remedies, including (without limitation) (a) any right to require Investor to proceed against Company or any other person or to pursue any other remedy in Investor’s power before proceeding against Guarantor; (b) any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any other person or persons or the failure of Investor to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of any other person or persons; (c) demand, protest and notice of any kind, including, without limitation, notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional indebtedness, liability or obligation or of any action or non-action on the part of Company, Investor, any endorser or creditor of Company or Guarantor or on the part of any other person whomsoever under this or any other instrument in connection with any obligation or liability or evidence of indebtedness held by Investor as collateral or in connection with any Obligation hereby guaranteed; (d) any defense based upon an election of remedies by Investor which may destroy or otherwise impair the subrogation rights of Guarantor or the right of Guarantor to proceed against Company for reimbursement, or both; (e) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (f) any duty on the part of Investor to disclose to Guarantor any facts Investor may now or hereafter know about Company, regardless of whether Investor has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which Guarantor intends to assume or has reason to believe that such facts are unknown to Guarantor or has a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts to Guarantor, since Guarantor acknowledges that it is fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of Company and of all circumstances bearing on the risk of non-payment of any Obligation; (g) any defense arising because of Investor’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code; (h) any defense based on any borrowing or grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code; (i) any claim, right or remedy which Guarantor may now have or hereafter acquire against Company that arises hereunder and/or from the performance by Guarantor hereunder, including, without limitation, any claim, right or remedy of Investor against Company or any security which Investor now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise; and (j) any obligation of Investor to pursue any other guarantor or any other person, or to foreclose on any collateral.

6. Bankruptcy. So long as any Obligation shall be owing to Investor, Guarantors shall not, without the prior written consent of Investor, commence or join with any other person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization, or insolvency proceeding against Company. The obligations of Guarantors under this Guaranty shall not be altered, limited or affected by any proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of Company, or by any defense which Company may have by reason of any order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.

7. Claims in Bankruptcy. Guarantors shall file in any bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is required or permitted by law all claims that Guarantors may have against Company relating to any indebtedness, liability or obligation of Company owed to Guarantors and will assign to Investor all rights of Guarantors thereunder. If Guarantors do not file any such claim, Investor, as attorney-in-fact for Guarantors, is hereby authorized to do so in the name of Guarantors or, in Investor’s discretion, to assign the claim to a nominee and to cause proof of claim to be filed in the name of Investor’s nominee. The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Investor or Investor’s nominee shall have the sole right to accept or reject any plan proposed in such proceeding and to take any other action that a party filing a claim is entitled to do. In all such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the person or persons authorized to pay such claim shall pay to Investor the amount payable on such claim and, to the full extent necessary for that purpose, Each Guarantor hereby assigns to Investor all of Guarantor’s rights to any such payments or distributions to which Guarantor would otherwise be entitled; provided, however, that Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be deemed satisfied except to the extent that Investor receives cash by reason of any such payment or distribution. If Investor receives anything hereunder other than cash, the same shall be held as collateral for amounts due under this Guaranty. If at any time the holder of any of the Notes is required to refund to Company any payments made by Company under the Notes because such payments have been held by a bankruptcy court having jurisdiction over Company to constitute a preference under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law then in effect, or for any other reason, then in addition to Guarantor’s other obligation under this Guaranty, Guarantor shall reimburse the holder in the aggregate amount of such refund payments.

8. Costs and Attorneys’ Fees. If Company or any Guarantor fails to pay all or any portion of any Obligation, or any Guarantor otherwise breaches any provision hereof or otherwise defaults hereunder, Guarantors shall pay reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Investor in connection with the enforcement of any obligations of Guarantors hereunder, including, without limitation, any attorneys’ fees incurred in any negotiation, alternative dispute resolution proceeding subsequently agreed to by the parties, if any, litigation, or bankruptcy proceeding or any appeals from any of such proceedings.

9. Cumulative Rights. The amount of Guarantors’ liability and all rights, powers and remedies of Investor hereunder and under any other agreement now or at any time hereafter in force between Investor and Guarantors, including, without limitation, any other guaranty executed by Guarantors relating to any indebtedness, liability or obligation of Company owed to Investor, shall be cumulative and not alternative and such rights, powers and remedies shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given to Investor by law. This Guaranty is in addition to and exclusive of the guaranty of any other guarantor of any indebtedness, liability or obligation of Company owed to Investor.

10. Independent Obligations. The obligations of Guarantors hereunder are independent of the obligations of Company and, to the extent permitted by law, in the event of any breach or default hereunder, a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any Guarantor whether or not Company or the other Guarantors are joined therein or a separate action or actions are brought against Company, and Investor shall have no obligation to separately pursue an action against Company with respect to the Obligations. Investor may maintain successive actions for other breaches or defaults. Investor’s rights hereunder shall not be exhausted by Investor’s exercise of any of Investor’s rights or remedies or by any such action or by any number of successive actions until and unless all Obligations have been paid and fully performed.

11. Severability. If any part of this Guaranty is construed to be in violation of any law, such part shall be modified to achieve the objective of the parties to the fullest extent permitted and the balance of this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect.

12. Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of Investor, Investor’s successors and assigns, including the assignees of any Obligation, and shall bind the heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns of Guarantors. This Guaranty may be assigned by Investor with respect to all or any portion of the Obligations, and when so assigned, Guarantors shall be liable to the assignees under this Guaranty without in any manner affecting the liability of Guarantors hereunder with respect to any Obligations retained by Investor.

13. Notices. Whenever Guarantors or Investor shall desire to give or serve any notice, demand, request or other communication with respect to this Guaranty, each such notice shall be given in writing (unless otherwise specified herein) and shall be deemed effectively given on the earliest of:

(a) the date delivered, if delivered by personal delivery as against written receipt therefor or by email to an executive officer, or by confirmed facsimile,

(b) the fifth business day after deposit, postage prepaid, in the United States Postal Service by registered or certified mail, or

(c) the third business day after mailing by domestic or international express courier, with delivery costs and fees prepaid,

in each case, addressed to each of the other parties thereunto entitled at the address for such party (or Company, in respect of notices delivered to the Guarantors) set forth in the Purchase Agreement (or at such other addresses as such party may designate by ten (10) calendar days’ advance written notice similarly given to each of the other parties hereto).

14. Application of Payments or Recoveries. With or without notice to Guarantors, Investor, in Investor’s sole discretion and at any time and from time to time and in such manner and upon such terms as Investor deems fit, may (a) apply any or all payments or recoveries from Company or from any other guarantor or endorser under any other instrument or realized from any security, in such manner and order of priority as Investor may determine, to any indebtedness, liability or obligation of Company owed to Investor, whether or not such indebtedness, liability or obligation is guaranteed hereby or is otherwise secured or is due at the time of such application; and (b) refund to Company any payment received by Investor in connection with any Obligation and payment of the amount refunded shall be fully guaranteed hereby.

15. Setoff. Investor shall have a right of setoff against the Deposit Account. Such right is in addition to any right of setoff Investor may have by law. All rights of setoff may be exercised without notice or demand to Guarantors. No right of setoff shall be deemed to have been waived by any act or conduct on the part of Investor, or by any neglect to exercise such right of setoff, or by any delay in doing so. Every right of setoff shall continue in full force and effect until specifically waived or released by an instrument in writing executed by Investor.

16. Miscellaneous.

PLACEMENT AGENCY AGREEMENT

April [●], 2026

Univest Securities, LLC

75 Rockefeller Plaza, 25A

New York, New York 10019

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Subject to the terms and conditions herein (this “Agreement”) and the Transaction Documents (defined below), Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), has agreed to issue and sell (i) a Promissory Note A-1 (the “A-1 Note”) of the Company and (ii) a Secured Promissory Note B (the “B Note” and together with the A-1 Note, the “Notes”) of the Company, directly to one or more investors (each, an “Investor” and, collectively, the “Investors”) through Univest Securities, LLC (the “Placement Agent”), as placement agent. The Securities (as defined below) shall be offered and sold pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The documents executed and delivered by the Company and the Investors in connection with the Offering (as defined below), including, without limitation, a notes purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), the Notes, and all other agreements executed in connection therewith, shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents.” The Placement Agent may retain other brokers or dealers to act as sub-agents or selected-dealers on its behalf in connection with the Offering (as defined below). The Notes and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon redemption of Notes are hereafter collectively referred to as the “Securities.”

The Company hereby confirms its agreement with the Placement Agent as follows:

Section 1. Agreement to Act as Placement Agent.

(a) On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company herein contained, and subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Placement Agent shall be the exclusive Placement Agent in connection with the offering and sale by the Company of the Securities pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act, with the terms of such offering (the “Offering”) to be subject to market conditions and negotiations between the Company, the Placement Agent and the prospective Investors. The Placement Agent will act on a reasonable best efforts basis and the Company agrees and acknowledges that there is no guarantee of the successful placement of the Securities, or any portion thereof, in the prospective Offering. Under no circumstances will the Placement Agent or any of its “Affiliates” (as defined below) be obligated to underwrite or purchase any of the Securities for its own account or otherwise provide any financing. The Placement Agent shall act solely as the Company’s agent and not as principal. The Placement Agent shall have no authority to bind the Company with respect to any prospective offer to purchase Securities and the Company shall have the sole right to accept offers to purchase Securities and may reject any such offer, in whole or in part. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of, the Securities shall be made at one or more closings (each a “Closing” and the date on which each Closing occurs, a “Closing Date”). As compensation for services rendered, on each Closing Date, the Company shall pay to the Placement Agent the fees and expenses set forth below:

(i) A cash fee equal to 8% of (A) the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the A-1 Note at such Closing plus (B) amounts transferred by the Company from the Deposit Account to its operating account(s) in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents (provided, that such amounts described in this clause (B) shall be payable within three (3) Business Days from the date such amounts are so transferred from the Deposit Account).

(ii) The Company also agrees to pay to the Placement Agent $50,000 for out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of Placement Agent’s counsel and due diligence analysis, and provided, however, that in the event that the Offering is terminated prior to any Closing, the Company agrees to reimburse the Placement Agent pursuant to Section 6 hereof.

(b) The term of the Placement Agent’s exclusive engagement will be until the earlier of the completion of the Offering and April 30, 2026 (the “Exclusive Term”). Either the Company or the Placement Agent may elect to terminate the engagement hereunder for any reason prior to the First Closing, but in the event the Company terminates this Agreement without Cause, the Company will remain responsible for the fees set forth herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions concerning confidentiality, indemnification and contribution contained herein and the Company’s obligations contained in the indemnification provisions will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement, and the Company’s obligation to pay fees actually earned and payable and to reimburse expenses actually incurred and reimbursable pursuant to Section 1 hereof and which are permitted to be reimbursed under FINRA Rules, will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit the ability of the Placement Agent or its Affiliates to pursue, investigate, analyze, invest in, or engage in investment banking, financial advisory or any other business relationship with Persons (as defined herein) other than the Company. As used herein (i) “Persons” means an individual or corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association, joint venture, limited liability company, joint stock company, government (or an agency or subdivision thereof) or other entity of any kind, (ii) “Affiliate” means any Person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with a Person as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 405 under the Securities Act and (iii) “Cause” with respect to a termination by the Company means the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of the Placement Agent in the performance of the services that are the subject to this Agreement. The Placement Agent agrees not to use any confidential information concerning the Company provided to the Placement Agent by the Company for any purposes other than those contemplated under this Agreement.

Section 2. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to the Placement Agent, as of the date hereof and as of each Closing Date, all of the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company that were made by the Company to the Investors (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) in Section 3 of the Purchase Agreement are true and correct with the same force and effect as of the date hereof and as of each Closing Date as if made on the date hereof and each Closing Date, and that such representations and warranties set forth in Section 3 thereof are hereby incorporated by reference herein. The Company agrees to all of the agreements and covenants with respect to the Company in Article 4 of the Purchase Agreement and that such agreements and covenants set forth in Article 4 thereof are incorporated by reference herein. In addition to the foregoing, the Company represents and warrants to the Placement Agent that:

(a) (i) the Company has full right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform all of its obligations hereunder and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; (ii) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and this Agreement constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms; (iii) the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors and no further consent or authorization of the Company, its Board of Directors, or its shareholders is required; and (v) the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby does not conflict with or result in a breach of (x) the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or other charter documents, or (y) upon receipt of a consent from the secured noteholders and collateral agent party to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 5, 2024, by and among the Company and the parties thereto, any agreement to which the Company is a party or by which any of its property or assets is bound.

(b) All disclosure provided by the Company to the Placement Agent regarding the Company, its business and the transactions contemplated hereby, taken together with all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act (all of the foregoing filed prior to the date hereof and all exhibits included therein and financial statements and schedules thereto and documents (other than exhibits to such documents) incorporated by reference therein, being hereinafter referred to herein as the “SEC Filings”), is true and correct in all material aspects and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. To the best of the Company's knowledge and belief, other than the current capital raising (of which this Agreement forms part), no event or circumstance has occurred or information exists with respect to the Company or its business, properties, prospects, operations or financial conditions, which, under the applicable laws, rules or regulations of the Commission, requires public disclosure or announcement by the Company but which has not been so publicly announced or disclosed.

(c) The Company has not taken and will not take any action, directly or indirectly, so as to cause the Offering to fail to be entitled to rely upon the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. In effecting the Offering, the Company agrees to comply in all material respects with applicable provisions of the Securities Act and any regulations thereunder and any applicable laws, rules, regulations and requirements (including, without limitation, all U.S. state law and all national, provincial, city or other legal requirements).

Section 3. Delivery and Payment. The Closing shall occur virtually via exchange of documents and signatures (or at such other place as shall be agreed upon by the Placement Agent and the Company). Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at the Closing payment of the purchase price for the Securities sold on the Closing Date shall be made by Federal Funds wire transfer, against delivery of such Securities, and such Securities shall be registered in such name or names and shall be in such denominations, as the Placement Agent may request at least one (1) Business Day before the time of purchase.

Deliveries of the documents with respect to the purchase of the Securities, if any, shall be made at the offices of Placement Agent. All actions taken at the Closing shall be deemed to have occurred simultaneously.

Section 4. Covenants and Agreements of the Company. The Company further covenants and agrees with the Placement Agent as follows:

(a) Blue Sky Compliance. The Company will cooperate with the Placement Agent and the Investors in endeavoring to qualify the Securities for sale under the securities laws of such jurisdictions (United States and foreign) as the Placement Agent and the Investors may reasonably request and will make such applications, file such documents, and furnish such information as may be reasonably required for that purpose, provided the Company shall not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or to file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or required to file such a consent, and provided further that the Company shall not be required to produce any new disclosure document other than the Transaction Documents. The Company will, from time to time, prepare and file such statements, reports and other documents as are or may be required to continue such qualifications in effect for so long a period as the Placement Agent may reasonably request for distribution of the Securities. The Company will advise the Placement Agent promptly of the suspension of the qualification or registration of (or any such exemption relating to) the Securities for offering, sale or trading in any jurisdiction or any initiation or threat of any proceeding for any such purpose, and in the event of the issuance of any order suspending such qualification, registration or exemption, the Company shall use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal thereof at the earliest possible moment.

(b) Amendments and Supplements to the Transaction Documents and Other Matters. The Company will comply with the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, so as to permit the completion of the distribution of the Securities as contemplated in this Agreement and the Transaction Documents. If, prior to the termination of the Offering, any event shall occur as a result of which, in the judgment of the Company or in the opinion of the Placement Agent or Placement Agent Counsel, it becomes necessary to amend or supplement the Transaction Documents in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, as the case may be, not misleading, or if it is necessary at any time to amend or supplement the Transaction Documents, the Company will promptly prepare and furnish at its own expense to the Placement Agent and to dealers, an appropriate amendment or supplement to the Transaction Documents that is necessary in order to make the statements therein as so amended or supplemented, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, as the case may be, not misleading, or so that the Transaction Documents, as so amended or supplemented, will comply with applicable laws related to the Offering. Before amending or supplementing Transaction Documents in connection with the Offering, the Company will furnish the Placement Agent with a copy of such proposed amendment or supplement and will not disseminate any such amendment or supplement to which the Placement Agent reasonably objects. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 4(b), the Company and its counsel shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to demonstrate why such amendment or supplement may not be necessary or advisable.

(c) Copies of any Amendments and Supplements to the Transaction Documents. The Company will furnish the Placement Agent, without charge, during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the later of the last Closing Date of the Offering, as many copies of the Transaction Documents and any amendments and supplements thereto as the Placement Agent may reasonably request.

(d) [Reserved].

(e) Transfer Agent. The Company will maintain, at its expense, a registrar and transfer agent for the Common Stock until such date as no Securities are outstanding.

(f) Registration of Securities; Exchange Approval. The Common Stock is registered under the Exchange Act and, as of the Closing Date, the Underlying Securities shall be listed and admitted and authorized for trading (subject to any restrictions or conditions that may be imposed by the Trading Market in accordance with any Nasdaq rule that may be applicable to the Company as a Foreign Private Issuer) on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Trading Market”) or other applicable U.S. national exchange and satisfactory evidence of such action shall have been provided to the Placement Agent. For a period of three (3) years, the Company shall take no action designed to, or likely to have the effect of terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act or delisting or suspending from trading the Common Stock from the Trading Market or other applicable U.S. national exchange and the Company has not received any information suggesting that the Commission or the Trading Market or other U.S. applicable national exchange is contemplating terminating such registration or listing.

(g) Additional Documents. The Company will enter into any subscription, purchase or other customary agreements as the Placement Agent or the Investors reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to consummate the Offering, all of which will be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Placement Agent and the Investors. The Company agrees that the Placement Agent may rely upon, and each is a third-party beneficiary of, the representations and warranties, and applicable covenants, set forth in any such purchase, subscription or other agreement with Investors in the Offering.

(h) No Manipulation of Price.The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or result in, or that has constituted or might reasonably be expected to constitute, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any securities of the Company.

(i) Acknowledgment. The Company acknowledges that any advice given by the Placement Agent to the Company is solely for the benefit and use of the Board of Directors of the Company and may not be used, reproduced, disseminated, quoted or referred to, without the Placement Agent’s prior written consent.

Section 5. Conditions of the Obligations of the Placement Agent. The obligations of the Placement Agent hereunder shall be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company set forth in Section 2 hereof, in each case as of the date hereof and as of each Closing Date as though then made, to the timely performance by each of the Company of its covenants and other obligations hereunder on and as of such dates, and to each of the following additional conditions:

(b) Compliance with Regulatory Requirements. No order having the effect of ceasing or suspending the distribution of the Securities or any other securities of the Company shall have been issued by any securities commission, securities regulatory authority or stock exchange and no proceedings for that purpose shall have been instituted or shall be pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, contemplated by any securities commission, securities regulatory authority or stock exchange.

(d) No Material Adverse Change. Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (if there shall be more than one Closing Date then prior to each Closing Date), in the Placement Agent’s sole judgment after consultation with the Company, there shall not have occurred any Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).

(e) Opinion of Counsel for the Company.

Section 7. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Placement Agent, its Affiliates and each person controlling the Placement Agent (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act), and the directors, officers, agents and employees of the Placement Agent, its Affiliates and each such controlling person (the Placement Agent, and each such entity or person, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any losses, claims, damages, judgments, assessments, costs and other liabilities (collectively, the “Liabilities”), and shall reimburse each Indemnified Person for all documented fees and expenses (including the documented fees and expenses of one counsel for all Indemnified Persons, except as otherwise expressly provided herein) (collectively, the “Expenses”) as they are incurred by an Indemnified Person in investigating, preparing, pursuing or defending any Actions, whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party thereto, (i) caused by, or arising out of or in connection with, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Transaction Document or by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (other than untrue statements or alleged untrue statements in, or omissions or alleged omissions from, information relating to an Indemnified Person furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person expressly for use in the Transaction Documents) or (ii) otherwise arising out of or in connection with advice or services rendered or to be rendered by any Indemnified Person pursuant to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated thereby or any Indemnified Person's actions or inactions in connection with any such advice, services or transactions; provided, however, that, the Company shall not be responsible for any Liabilities or Expenses of any Indemnified Person that are finally judicially determined to have resulted solely from such Indemnified Person's (x) gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct in connection with any of the advice, actions, inactions or services referred to above or (y) use of any offering materials or information concerning the Company in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities in the Offering which were not authorized for such use by the Company. The Company also agrees to reimburse each Indemnified Person for all Expenses as they are incurred in connection with enforcing such Indemnified Person's rights under this Agreement.

(b) Upon receipt by an Indemnified Person of actual notice of an Action against such Indemnified Person with respect to which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company in writing; provided that failure by any Indemnified Person so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company from any liability which the Company may have on account of this indemnity or otherwise to such Indemnified Person, except to the extent the Company shall have been prejudiced by such failure. The Company shall, if requested by the Placement Agent or if the Company so elects, assume the defense of any such Action including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Placement Agent, which counsel may also be counsel to the Company. Any Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Company has failed to promptly assume the defense and employ counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such Action (including any impeded parties) include such Indemnified Person and the Company, and such Indemnified Person shall have been advised in the reasonable opinion of counsel that there is an actual conflict of interest that prevents the counsel selected by the Company from representing both the Company (or another client of such counsel) and any Indemnified Person; provided that the Company shall not in such event be responsible hereunder for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of separate counsel for all Indemnified Persons in connection with any Action or related Actions (as defined herein), in addition to any local counsel. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any Action effected without its written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). In addition, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Placement Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any pending or threatened Action in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not such Indemnified Person is a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person from all Liabilities arising out of such Action for which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder. The indemnification required hereby shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as such expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred and is due and payable. “Action” means any action, suit, inquiry, notice of violation, proceeding or investigation affecting the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective properties before or by any court, arbitrator, governmental or administrative agency or regulatory authority (federal, state, county, local or foreign).

(c) In the event that the foregoing indemnity is unavailable to an Indemnified Person other than in accordance with this Agreement, the Company shall contribute to the Liabilities and Expenses paid or payable by such Indemnified Person in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits to the Company, on the one hand, and to the Placement Agent and any other Indemnified Person, on the other hand, of the matters contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by the immediately preceding clause is not permitted by applicable law, not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Placement Agent and any other Indemnified Person, on the other hand, in connection with the matters as to which such Liabilities or Expenses relate, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided that in no event shall the Company contribute less than the amount necessary to ensure that all Indemnified Persons, in the aggregate, are not liable for any Liabilities and Expenses in excess of the amount of fees actually received by the Placement Agent pursuant to this Agreement. For purposes of this paragraph, the relative benefits to the Company, on the one hand, and to the Placement Agent on the other hand, of the matters contemplated by this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (a) the total value paid or contemplated to be paid to or received or contemplated to be received by the Company in the transaction or transactions that are within the scope of this Agreement, whether or not any such transaction is consummated, bears to (b) the fees paid to the Placement Agent under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act, as amended, shall be entitled to contribution from a party who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation.

(d) The Company also agrees that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Company for or in connection with advice or services rendered or to be rendered by any Indemnified Person pursuant to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated thereby or any Indemnified Person's actions or inactions in connection with any such advice, services or transactions except for Liabilities (and related Expenses) of the Company that are finally judicially determined to have resulted solely from such Indemnified Person's gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct in connection with any such advice, actions, inactions or services.

(e) The reimbursement, indemnity and contribution obligations of the Company set forth herein shall apply to any modification of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any termination of, or the completion of any Indemnified Person's services under or in connection with, this Agreement.

Section 8. Representations and Indemnities to Survive Delivery. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company or any person controlling the Company, of its officers, and of the Placement Agent set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Placement Agent, the Company, or any of its or their partners, officers or directors or any controlling person, as the case may be, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities sold hereunder and any termination of this Agreement. A successor to the Placement Agent, or to the Company, its directors or officers or any person controlling the Company, shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnity, contribution and reimbursement agreements contained in this Agreement.
