Dear Tin,


 


I am pleased
to offer you a position with
Faraday&Future Inc. (the “Company”), as an exempt
Global UP2U EVP reporting to YT Jia, FF
Global CEO. If you decide to join
us, you will receive an annual salary
of $500,000 that will be paid
semi-monthly in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll
procedures. You should note that the Company may
modify job titles, salaries, and benefits from time to time
as it deems necessary.


 


In addition, you will
be eligible to receive a Signing and Retention Bonus in an $1,000,000,
amount of if you (7) meet the employment conditions set forth below, (2) accept
and return this offer letter by October 12, 2018, and (3) you remain employed with the Company for a period of at least
sixty (60) months. The Company will advance you the Signing and Retention Bonus provided
you meet the first two requirements set forth above. The Signing and Retention Bonus
will be advanced in one lump sum in a
separate check on the next regularly scheduled pay date following thirty (30) days from your start of employment with Company.
The Signing and Retention Bonus is taxable, and all regular payroll taxes will be withheld. Because the Signing and Retention
Bonus is advanced at the outset of employment, but
not fully earned until all three of the above conditions are met,
in the event that you voluntarily leave the Company within five (5) years
of your start date, you will be responsible for reimbursing the Company for
the net pro rata amount of the Signing and Retention Bonus that has been advanced to
you based on your total whole months of service
elapsed at the time of separate and the
time remaining in such five
(5) year period. For example, if you work for
the Company for 2 years, you will be responsible for reimbursing the company for 60% (36/60) of the net Signing and Retention
Bonus advanced at the outset of employment.


 


As an employee, you will also be eligible to receive
a discretionary performance bonus with a target amount of up to $300,000 (less deductions and withholdings required by law) upon
annual performance target to be set by the company.
Any bonus will be awarded, in the sole discretion of the company. You must also be an active
employee on the date any discretionary bonus
becomes payable. The bonus will not be deemed earned
by you and become payable unless or until it is
awarded in the sole discretion of the
Company.


 


As an
employee, you will also be eligible to receive
Company subsidized health insurance, the opportunity to participate in the Company’s Fidelity 401 k-retirement plan, paid time
off, and holiday entitlement, specific details of which will be provided shortly after you join the Company.
