in accordance herewith, except that notice of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.


 


3.
Duties and Scope of Employment.


 


(a)
Positions and Duties. Effective as of the Effective Date and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company
hereby agrees to employ Executive, and Executive agrees to serve, as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Executive will report
to the Company’s Board. Executive shall have all the responsibilities and powers normally associated with such position. Executive
will render such business and professional services in the performance of his duties, consistent with Executive’s position within
the Company, as will reasonably be assigned to him by the Board. Executive will also perform other such duties and services commensurate
with Executive’s position for other operations of affiliates of the Company including, without limitation, SONDORS Electric Bike
Company and SONDORS Electric Car Company, as may be reasonably designated from time to time by the Board. Executive will serve the Company
faithfully and perform his duties to the best of his business ability, applying his best levels of skill, judgement, professionalism,
knowledge, and diligence commensurate with his experience and level of position.


 


(b)
Exclusive Services. Except during vacation periods and reasonable periods of absence due to sickness, personal injury or disability,
Executive shall devote substantially all of his full working time throughout the Employment Term (as defined in Section 3(d))
to the services required of him hereunder. Executive shall render his services exclusively to the Company during the Employment Term
(other than as provided below) and shall use his best business efforts, judgment and energy to improve and advance the business and interests
of the Company in a manner consistent with the duties of his position. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may engage in civic and
not-for-profit activities, and serve on the boards of directors or serve as a consultant to non-competitive private or public companies;
provided, however, that in each case that such activities do not materially interfere with the performance of Executive’s
duties to the Company.


 




    	4



    	 



    

 


(c)
Term of Employment. The period of Executive’s employment pursuant to this Agreement is referred to herein as the Employment
Term (“Employment Term”), which Employment Term shall commence as of the Effective Date and shall end on the date
Executive resigns or is otherwise terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.


 


4.
Confidential and Proprietary Information. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement by the parties hereto, the Company
and Executive shall enter into an At-Will Employment, Confidential Information, Invention Assignment and Arbitration Agreement with respect
to the Company’s confidential and proprietary information, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.


 


5.
Compensation.


 


(a)
Base Salary. During the Employment Term, the Company will pay Executive an annual base salary of $300,000 as compensation for
services provided hereunder (the “Base Salary”). The Base Salary will be paid in accordance with the Company’s
normal payroll practices and be subject to any required withholding. The Board, or the Board’s Compensation Committee (if applicable),
will review annually Executive’s performance and determine an amount of increase, if any, of Executive’s Base Salary.


 


(b)
Annual Bonus. Executive will be eligible for an annual discretionary bonus with a target amount equal to one hundred percent (100%)
of Executive’s then Base Salary (the “Annual Bonus”). Whether any Annual Bonus will be awarded, and the amount
of the Annual Bonus awarded to Executive, shall be determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board in its sole discretion
based upon its consideration of both the Company’s performance and Executive’s performance. Since the Annual Bonus is intended
both to reward past Company and Executive’s performance and to provide an incentive for Executive to remain with the Company, Executive
must remain an active employee through the last day of a performance period in order to earn any such bonus. Any Annual Bonus awarded
by the Board shall be paid within forty-five (45) days after the end of the calendar year.


 


(d)
Equity-Based Awards. Executive shall be eligible for grants of restricted stock, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted
stock units, incentive awards, other stock-based awards and dividend equivalents (collectively, “Equity-Based Awards”)
from time to time as shall be determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board, if any, in its sole discretion, and
shall be subject to such vesting, exercisability, and other provisions as the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board, if any,
may determine in its discretion, after reviewing the performance of both Executive and the Company. All Equity-Based Awards shall be
governed in all respects by the terms of the applicable agreements executed in connection with any grant and the Equity Incentive Plan
documents governing such Equity-Based Awards.


 




    	5



    	 



    

 


6.
Benefit Plans. During the Employment Term, Executive and/or Executive’s family, as the case may be, shall be eligible for
participation in and shall receive all benefits under benefit plans, practices, policies and programs provided by the Company (including,
without limitation, medical, prescription, dental, disability, employee life, group life, accidental death and travel accident insurance
plans and programs) in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of such plans and programs.


 


7.
Vacation. Executive will be entitled to fifteen (15) days of paid vacation each year or such greater number of days as provided
for by the Company’s vacation policy as such policy may be in effect from time to time with the timing and duration of specific
vacations mutually and reasonably agreed to by the parties hereto. In addition, Executive will be entitled to paid sick leave, in accordance
with the Company’s standard policies for executive officers as such policies may exist from time to time and as required by applicable
law, as well as to certain paid holidays in accordance with any holiday schedule as may be adopted by the Company.


 


8.
Expenses. During the Employment Term, Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable and necessary
business expenses incurred by Executive in the fulfillment of his duties hereunder; including reasonable travel and lodging expenses,
upon presentation by Executive of an itemized account of such expenditures, including receipts as appropriate.


 


9.
Compensation upon Certain Terminations.


 


(a)
Termination for Any Reason. Upon Executive’s termination of employment with the Company for any reason, Executive shall
be paid (i) all accrued but unpaid Base Salary, (ii) reimbursement for reasonable and necessary expenses incurred by Executive on behalf
of the Company during the period ending on the date of termination, (iii) pay for accrued, unused vacation time to the extent payable
pursuant to the Company’s vacation pay policy, and (iv) any accrued but unpaid bonus prior to the date of termination. All such
amounts will be paid in the ordinary course in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement.


 


(b)
Covered Termination. If Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated due to a Covered Termination, and Executive
no later than twenty-one (21) days (forty-five (45) days in case of a group termination) executes and delivers to the Company, and does
not revoke within the seven (7) days after execution, a Release as described in Section 9(c) and continues to remain in material
compliance with the obligations set forth in Section 13 (provided that if the Company finds that Executive is not in material
compliance with Section 13, then Executive shall have thirty (30) days to remedy such noncompliance upon receiving written notice
thereof from the Company), then Executive shall be entitled to the following severance benefits, subject to Section 10:


 


(i)
Severance Payment. In the event the Covered Termination occurs after the execution by the Company of an Underwriting Agreement,
a termination payment equal to two hundred percent (200%) of Executive’s Base Salary will be paid to Executive on the first payroll
date following sixty (60) days after termination of employment;


 




    	6



    	 



    

 


(ii)
Bonus. Payment of an amount equal to Executive’s actual earned full- year bonus for the year in which the termination of
Executive’s employment occurs, prorated based on the number of days Executive was employed for the year, payable at the time Executive’s
annual bonus for the year otherwise would be paid had Executive continued employment;


 


(iii)
Continued Benefits. For the period beginning on the Date of Termination and extending through the earlier of either (A) twelve
(12) months from the Date of Termination, or (B) the first day of Executive’s active date of coverage in a group health plan maintained
by a subsequent employer, if Executive timely elects COBRA, the Company shall reimburse Executive, on a monthly basis, for the same percentage
of the cost of COBRA Coverage Executive incurs that the Company pays towards such coverage for active employees; all such reimbursements
will be treated as fully taxable reimbursements to the extent necessary to avoid any adverse effect on the tax status of the Company’s
plans under which such COBRA Coverage is provided; and


 


(iv)
Effect on Equity-Based Awards. The vesting and exercisability of any and all Equity-Based Awards granted to Executive shall be
governed in all respects by the terms of the applicable agreements executed in connection with any such grant and the Equity Incentive
Plan documents governing such Equity-Based Awards.


 


(c)
Release/Continued Compliance. As a condition to Executive’s receipt of any benefits described in this Section 9 (other
than in Section 11(a)), Executive shall be required to (i) execute a Release (substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
A) within thirty (30) days following the Date of Termination and not revoke such Release within any period permitted under applicable
law, and (ii) remain in material compliance with the obligations set forth in Section 13 (provided that if the Company finds that
Executive is not in material compliance, then Executive shall have thirty (30) days to remedy such noncompliance upon receiving written
notice thereof from the Company).


 


10.
Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, it is intended that any payment or benefit which is provided
pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement which is considered to be deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A shall be
provided and paid in a manner, and at such time, including without limitation payment and provision of benefits only in connection with
the occurrence of a permissible payment event contained in Code Section 409A (e.g., separation from service from the Company and its
affiliates as defined for purposes of Code Section 409A), and in such form, as complies with the applicable requirements of Code Section
409A to avoid the unfavorable tax consequences provided therein for non-compliance. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in
this Agreement, if Executive is deemed by the Company at the time of his Separation from Service to be a “specified employee”
for purposes of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), to the extent delayed commencement of any portion of the benefits to which Executive is
entitled under this Agreement is required in order a failure to comply with Code Section 409A, such portion of Executive’s benefits
shall not be provided to Executive prior to the earlier of (a) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of Executive’s
Separation from Service or (b) the date of Executive’s death. Upon the first business day following the expiration of the applicable
Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) period, all payments deferred pursuant to this Section 10 shall be paid in a lump sum to Executive,
and any remaining payments due under the Agreement shall be paid as otherwise provided herein. For purposes of Code Section 409A (including,
without limitation, for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii)), Executive’s right to receive any installment
payments payable hereunder shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each such installment
payment shall at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all taxable
reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided by the Company under this Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements
of Code Section 409A, including, where applicable, the requirement that (i) any reimbursement shall be for expenses incurred by Executive
during the period of time specified in the Agreement; (ii) any in-kind benefits must be provided by the Company during the period of
time specified in the Agreement; (iii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during a calendar
year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other calendar year; and (iv)
the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in no event will the Company or any of its officers, directors or employees be liable to Executive or any other person if any payment
or benefit which is provided pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement which is considered to be deferred compensation subject
to Code Section 409A fails to be exempt from or comply with Code Section 409A.

11.
Section 280G. In the event that it is determined that any payment or distribution in the nature of compensation made or to be
made of any type to or for the benefit of Executive made by the Company, by any of its affiliates, by any person who acquires ownership
or effective control of the Company or ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets (within the meaning of Code Section
280G, and the regulations thereunder or by any affiliate of such person, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement or under any other agreement with or plan of the Company otherwise (the “Total Payments”),
would be subject Executive to the excise tax imposed by Code Section 4999 or any interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax
(such excise tax, together with any such interest or penalties, are collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”),
then either clauses (a) or (b) below shall apply or occur, as applicable:


 


(a)
If the aggregate present value of the Total Payments (as calculated pursuant to the Code Section 280G final regulations) is less than
325% of Executive’s Base Amount, then such Total Payments shall be reduced, as necessary, to the smaller amount that is equal to
$1.00 less than 300% of Executive’s Base Amount so as to eliminate imposition of the Excise Tax.


 


(b)
If the aggregate present value of the Total Payments (as calculated pursuant to the Code Section 280G final regulations) is equal to
or greater than 325% of Executive’s Base Amount, then, the Company shall pay Executive a cash amount equal to the sum of: (i) any
excise taxes that may be imposed on Executive under Code Sections 280G and 4999 (the “Excise Tax Restoration”) and
(ii) for any taxes (including excise taxes) that may be imposed on the Excise Tax Restoration payment, and for any interest or penalties
related to such excise tax with all such computations performed applying the then highest marginal tax rates (excluding Federal social
security taxes given Executive’s compensation will likely exceed the social security limit for such year and net of the maximum
reduction in federal taxes that may be obtained from the deduction of state and local taxes). Such payment shall be made to Executive
contemporaneously with the withholding of the Excise Tax from Executive within thirty days of the determination that there are excise
taxes owed and will be in an amount so that Executive will be in the same position on an after-tax basis that he would have been if no
excise taxes, interest and/or penalties had been imposed.


 




    	8



    	 



    

 


(c)
All mathematical determinations and all determinations of whether any of the Total Payments are “parachute payments” and/or
are potentially subject to the Excise Tax (within the meaning of Code Section 280G) that are required to be made under this Section
11, shall be made by an independent nationally recognized independent registered public accounting firm not currently retained by
the Company and reasonably acceptable by Executive immediately prior to the Change in Control (the “Accountants”),
who shall provide their determination, together with detailed supporting calculations regarding the amount of any relevant matters, both
to the Company and to Executive within seven (7) business days of the Change in Control or Termination Date, as applicable, or such earlier
time as is requested by the Company. Such determination shall be made by the Accountants using reasonable good faith interpretations
of the Code. Any determination by the Accountants shall be binding upon the Company and Executive, absent manifest error. The Company
shall pay the fees and costs of the Accountants that are incurred in connection with this Section 11.


 


12.
Successors; Binding Agreement.


 


(a)
The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially
all of the business and/or assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the
same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. Unless expressly provided otherwise,
“Company” as used herein shall mean the Company as defined in this Agreement and any successor to its business and/or assets
as aforesaid.


 


(b)
This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive and Executive’s personal or legal representatives,
executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If Executive should die while any amount would still
be payable to Executive hereunder had Executive continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to Executive’s devisee, legatee or other designee or, if there is no such designee,
to Executive’s estate. Executive may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder.


 


13.
Non-Competition. Executive agrees that, while Executive is employed with the Company, Executive will not, either directly or indirectly,
have an interest in any business (whether as manager, operator, licensor, licensee, partner, 5% or greater equity holder, employee, consultant,
director, advisor or otherwise) competitive with the Company or any of its business activities.


 


14.
Miscellaneous.


 


(a)
Modification or Amendment. No provision of this Agreement may be modified or amended unless such modification or amendment is
agreed to in a writing that specifically states the intent of both parties hereto to supplement the terms herein and is signed by Executive
and an authorized officer of the Company as may be specifically designated by the Board or a committee thereof.

(b)
Waiver. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of or compliance with, any condition
or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions
at the same or at any prior or subsequent time.


 


(c)
Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the
State of California without regard to its conflicts of law principles.

(f)

of this Agreement.


 


(g)
Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

that a document shall be interpreted or construed against a drafter of such document shall not be applicable.

with the Company, Executive and the Company agree that any and all disputes, claims, or causes of action arising from or relating to

as amended by the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the Americans with Disabilities
Act, and/or the fair employment practices statute of the state or states in which I was previously employed by the Company or otherwise
had a relationship with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or other affiliates, each as amended from time to time) (collectively,
the “Released Claims”). This Release of Claims shall not apply to (a) any claim that arises after I sign this Release
of Claims, (b) any rights to indemnification that I may have under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, by contract,
as a matter of law, or otherwise, or under any power that the Company may have to indemnify me or hold me harmless, (c) any claim that
may not be waived pursuant to applicable law, (d) my rights to severance pay and benefits under the Employment Agreement, (e) my rights
following the date hereof with respect to any equity interests I hold in the Company or any of its affiliates or (f) my rights to any
vested benefits to which I am entitled under the terms of any of the Company’s benefit plans, programs, or policies, or that of
the Company’s affiliates.


 


By
signing this Release, I expressly waive and relinquish all rights and benefits afforded by Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State
of California, and do so understanding and acknowledging the significance of such specific waiver of Section 1542, which Section states
as follows:


 


A
general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor
at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the
debtor or released party.


 




    	A-1



    	 



    

 


Thus,
notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1542, and for the purpose of implementing a full and complete release and discharge of the
Released Parties, I expressly acknowledge that this Release is intended to include in its effect, without limitation, all Released Claims
which I do not know or suspect to exist in my favor at the time of execution hereof, and that this Release contemplates the extinguishment
of such Released Claim or Released Claims.


 


To
the fullest extent permitted by law, at no time subsequent to the execution of this Agreement will I pursue, or cause or knowingly permit
the prosecution, in any state, federal or foreign court, or before any local, state, federal or foreign administrative agency, or any
other tribunal, of any charge, claim or action of any kind, nature and character whatsoever, known or unknown, which I may now have,
have ever had, or may in the future have against the Released Parties, which is based in whole or in part on any matter released by this
Release.


 


I
understand that nothing in this Release limits my ability to file a charge or complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission,
the National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission or any
other federal, state or local government agency or commission (“Government Agencies”). I further understand that this
Release does not limit my ability to communicate with any Government Agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding
that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including providing documents or other information, without notice to the Company. This
Release does not limit my right to receive an award for information provided to any Government Agencies.


 


By
signing this Release of Claims, I acknowledge my understanding that I hereby knowingly and voluntarily enter into this Release of Claims
with the purpose of waiving and releasing any claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 and the Older Workers Benefit
Protection Act (OWBPA). I understand and acknowledge that I may consider the terms of this Release of Claims for up to twenty-one (21)
days (or forty-five (45) days in case of a group termination) from the date I receive it and that I may not sign this Release of Claims
until after the date my employment with the Company terminates. I also acknowledge that I am hereby advised by the Company to seek the
advice of an attorney prior to signing this Release of Claims; that I have had sufficient time to consider this Release of Claims and
to consult with an attorney, if I wished to do so, or to consult with any other person of my choosing before signing; and that I am signing
this Release of Claims voluntarily and with a full understanding of its terms.


 


I
further acknowledge that, in signing this Release of Claims, I have not relied on any promises or representations, express or implied,
that are not set forth expressly in the Release of Claims. Any changes made to this agreement, whether material or immaterial, will not
restart the running of the twenty-one (21) day (or forty-five (45) day in case of a group termination) period. I understand that I may
revoke this Release of Claims at any time within seven (7) days of the date of my signing by written notice to the Chairman of the Company’s
Board of Directors and that this Release of Claims will take effect only upon the expiration of such seven-day revocation period and
only if I have not timely revoked it.
