TRANSITION AND CONSULTING
AGREEMENT

 

This Transition and Consulting Agreement (“Agreement”)
is made effective as of the last date of signature below (the “Effective Date”) by and between Zvi Glasman (“Executive”)
and Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (the “Company”) (collectively referred to as the “Parties”
or individually referred to as a “Party”).

 

WHEREAS, Executive is currently serving as Chief
Financial Officer of the Company;

 

WHEREAS, Executive and the Company have agreed
that Executive will voluntarily separate from employment with the Company on the Separation Date (as defined below) and provide certain
consulting services for a defined period thereafter;

 

WHEREAS, the Company and Executive desire to provide
for an orderly transition of Executive’s duties and responsibilities; and

 

WHEREAS, in furtherance of the foregoing, Executive and
the Company have reached an agreement with respect to all rights, duties and obligations arising between them, including, but in no way
limited to, any rights, duties and obligations that have arisen or might arise out of or are in any way related to Executive’s continued
employment with the Company and the conclusion of that employment (other than as specifically provided in this Agreement).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual
promises made herein and intending to be bound thereby, the Company and Executive hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Resignation and Transition.

 

a. Transition Period. Effective as of
the Transition Date, Executive will be deemed to have voluntarily resigned from his position as Chief Financial Officer of the Company
and from any other advisory, director, and officer positions with the Company and any of its parent or subsidiaries. Executive agrees
to execute any documents as necessary to affect any such resignations. Executive will continue employment with the Company on a transitional
basis in the role of “Senior Advisor” during the Transition Period. As used herein, (i) “Transition Date”
means October 27, 2021, (ii) “Separation Date” means December 31, 2021 unless mutually extended by the Parties or
earlier terminated by a Party in accordance with this Agreement, and (iii) “Transition Period” means the period from
the Transition Date through the Separation Date.

 

b. Duties. During the Transition Period,
Executive shall (i) transition his duties and responsibilities to such individuals as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (“CEO”)
may designate, including to the successor Chief Financial Officer of the Company (“CFO”) and (ii) provide such assistance
and perform such duties and responsibilities as may be reasonably assigned by the CEO or his designee from time to time (the “Transition
Duties”). During the Transition Period, Executive will continue to abide in all material respects by the Company’s policies
and procedures. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Transition Duties are not expected to occupy all of Executive’s professional
time.

 

c. Compensation. During the Transition
Period, the Company will continue to pay Executive a monthly base salary of $50,000, to be paid periodically in accordance with the Company’s
normal payroll practices and subject to applicable withholdings. Executive will also be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in furtherance of the Transition Duties in a manner consistent with Company policies. All other expenses must be pre-approved
by the CEO or his designee. In all cases expenses must be submitted promptly for reimbursement in accordance with the Company’s
expense reimbursement policy. For the avoidance of doubt, Executive is not eligible to receive the Annual Bonus (as defined in that certain
letter agreement between Executive and Faraday&Future Inc., dated March 29, 2021 (the “Employment Letter”)) with
respect to 2021 or thereafter.

 

d. Benefits. During the Transition Period,
Executive will remain eligible to participate in all benefits of employment, including without limitation the Company’s health
and welfare plans that are made available to all employees of the Company and the accrual of any vacation and paid time off, subject
to the terms of the plan, program or other arrangement as may be in effect from time to time. Executive’s health insurance benefits
shall cease on the last day of the month in which the Separation Date occurs, subject to Executive’s right to continue Executive’s
health insurance under COBRA. Following the Separation Date, Executive’s final regular paycheck from the Company will include a
cash-out of Executive’s accrued, unused paid time off.

 

     

     

    

 

e. General. Executive acknowledges and
agrees that Executive’s separation from employment with the Company as of the Separation Date is the result of a mutually agreed
upon voluntary resignation and, as a result, Executive has not experienced a termination without “Cause” or a resignation
for “Good Reason” as those terms are defined in the Employment Letter. Effective as of the Transition Date, this Transition
Agreement fully replaces and supersedes the Employment Letter, except that the “Indemnification” and “Successors and
Assigns” provisions thereof remain in full force and effect. Executive acknowledges that his employment remains “at will”
during the Transition Period and may be terminated by either Party with or without notice; provided that the Company shall provide prior
written notice of the Company’s desire to terminate the Executive’s employment and, if the Company so terminates Executive’s
employment, (i) the Company shall remain obligated to pay Executive (I) his base salary for the remainder of the Transition Period through
December 31, 2021, on the same schedule as described in Section 1(c), and (II) the Consulting Fees for the entire Consulting Period,
on the same schedule as described in Section 2(d) , and (ii) any of Executive’s Option Awards (as defined below) that would have
otherwise vested if Executive’s employment had continued through December 31, 2021 shall become immediately vested and exercisable
and remain exercisable for the duration specified in the Award Documents upon a termination without Cause. If Executive terminates his
employment for any reason, prior to the Separation Date, then (A) the Company’s obligation to pay Executive his base salary for
the remainder of the Transition Period shall immediately terminate, (B) the Company’s obligation to pay Executive any Consulting
Fees shall immediately terminate, and (C) Executive’s Option Awards shall immediately stop vesting, and any vested Option Awards
shall remain exercisable for the duration specified in the Award Documents upon a resignation.

 

2. Consulting Agreement. To further support
the transition, if Executive remains employed by the Company through the Separation Date, the Company will retain Executive (either individually
or, upon request, through Executive’s consulting firm) as a consultant under the terms specified below following the Separation
Date.

 

a. Consulting Period. Unless Executive’s
service as a Senior Advisor is terminated earlier pursuant to Section 1(e) above, the consulting relationship shall commence on the Separation
Date and shall continue until February 15, 2022 (the “Scheduled End Date”), unless terminated earlier pursuant to
Section 2(f) below or extended by mutual written agreement (the “Consulting Period”).

 

b. Consulting Services. Executive agrees
to provide consulting services to the Company in any area of Executive’s expertise, including but not limited to generally supporting
finance and accounting activities, supporting financing activities, supporting the transition of responsibilities to the successor CFO,
being available for questions and issues that arise related to the fiscal year 2021 financial plan and financial statements, the closing
of fiscal quarters and tax matters, engaging in investor relations and performing other mutually agreed upon services (the “Consulting
Services”). During the Consulting Period, Executive will report directly to the CEO. Executive agrees to make himself available
to perform such Consulting Services throughout the Consulting Period. Executive will not be required to report to the Company’s
offices during the Consulting Period and will perform the Consulting Services remotely. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Consulting
Services are not expected to occupy all of Executive’s professional time, and Executive may pursue outside opportunities so long
as they are not for an electric car company and/or do not conflict with the Consulting Services.

 

c. Independent Contractor Relationship.
Executive’s relationship with the Company during the Consulting Period will be that of an independent contractor, and nothing in
this Agreement is intended to, or should be construed to, create a partnership, agency, joint venture or employment relationship after
the Separation Date.

 

d. Consulting Fees. During the Consulting
Period, Executive (either directly or, upon request, through Executive’s consulting firm) will receive as consulting fees (“Consulting
Fees”) Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) per month, payable in advance on the 1st day of each calendar month, beginning with
January 1, 2022, and pro-rated for any partial month of service. Because Executive will be providing the Consulting Services as an independent
contractor, the Company will not withhold any amount for taxes, social security or other payroll deductions from the Consulting Fees.
Executive acknowledges that Executive (or, if applicable, his consulting firm) will be entirely responsible for, and shall indemnify
the Company against, payment of any taxes that may be due on the Consulting Fees, including any penalties and interest. Executive will
also be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in furtherance of the Consulting Services in a manner consistent with
Company policies. Such expenses must be approved in advance by the CEO or his designee and must be submitted promptly for reimbursement
in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy. During the Consulting Period, Executive shall not be eligible to
participate in any paid time off, group medical or life insurance, disability, retirement benefits or any other fringe benefits or benefit
plans offered by the Company to its employees, except for COBRA or as such plans and agreements may otherwise provide relating to the
continuation of benefits following the termination of employment.

 

    2

     

    

 

e. Limitations on Authority. Executive
will have no responsibilities or authority as a consultant to the Company other than as provided above. Executive will have no authority
to bind the Company to any contractual obligations, whether written, oral or implied, except with the written authorization of the CEO.
Executive agrees not to represent or purport to represent the Company in any manner whatsoever to any third party unless authorized by
the Company, in writing, to do so.

 

f. Termination of Consulting Period. Without
waiving any other rights or remedies, the Company may terminate immediately the Consulting Period at any time, provided, however, that,
if the Company so terminates the Consulting Period before the Scheduled End Date, it shall be obligated to pay Executive in connection
with such termination (i) any Consulting Fees that would otherwise be payable through the Scheduled End Date that remain unpaid, on the
same schedule as described in Section 2(d), and (ii) any expenses that have not yet been reimbursed. Further, Executive may terminate
the Consulting Period at any time, for any reason, upon written notice to the Company, which termination shall extinguish the Company’s
obligation to pay Executive any further Consulting Fees, although the Company will remain obligated to reimburse Executive for any expenses
incurred through such termination.

 

g. Confidentiality and IP Rights. Executive
agrees that any Confidentiality Agreement and any Intellectual Property Assignment Agreement executed by Executive in connection with
his employment by the Company shall continue to be applicable to Executive during the Consulting Period.

 

3. Option Awards. During the Transition
Period, Executive will remain eligible to continue vesting in each of the option awards previously granted to Executive by the Company
that is outstanding as of the Effective Date (the “Option Awards”) in accordance with the terms of the applicable
Company equity plan under which the Option Award was granted and applicable award agreement thereunder (collectively, the “Award
Documents”), unless Executive terminates his employment for any reason prior to the Separation Date, in which case further
vesting shall immediately cease; provided, however, that, under no circumstances will the cessation of Executive’s Service Provider
status after the Effective Date be considered a termination for Cause under the applicable Award Documents. For the avoidance of doubt,
Executive will not remain eligible to continue vesting in the Option Awards during the Consulting Period, and Executive’s status
as Service Provider under the Award Documents shall be deemed to end on the Separation Date. To the extent made available to other executives,
the Company will allow Executive to satisfy the withholding obligations under the Option Awards through broker assisted sales. Executive
acknowledges that certain of the Option Awards are subject to lock-up restrictions as a result of the business combination with Property
Solutions Acquisition Corp., which restrictions remain in effect and are not modified or superseded by this Agreement. However, the exercise
period of the Option Awards shall be extended for the same duration as any lock-up restrictions that apply following the current lock-up
period with respect to the Option Awards (for example, if the current lock-up period is extended by 30 days, the exercise period of the
Option Awards shall be extended for an additional 30 days beyond when it would have otherwise expired in accordance with its terms, and
if, after the current lock-up period ends, a future lock-up period of 45 days applies with respect to the Option Awards, the exercise
period of the Option Awards shall be extended for an additional 45 days beyond when it would have otherwise expired in accordance with
its terms).

 

4. Other Compensation or Benefits. Executive
acknowledges that, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Executive will not be entitled to receive any additional compensation,
severance or benefits after the Separation Date.

 

5. Costs. The Company will reimburse Executive
within five business days after Executive’s submission of an invoice therefor, for up to $25,000 of Executive’s reasonable
attorneys’ fees in connection with Executive’s separation of employment with the Company and the consideration and negotiation
of this Agreement.

 

6. Authority. The Company represents and
warrants that the undersigned has the authority to act on behalf of the Company and to bind the Company and all who may claim through
it to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Executive represents and warrants that Executive has the capacity to act on Executive’s
own behalf and on behalf of all who might claim through Executive to bind them to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

    3

     

    

 

7. Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents
the entire agreement and understanding between the Company and Executive concerning the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersedes
and replaces any and all prior agreements and understandings concerning the subject matter of this Agreement, provided, however, that
the Parties agree that (a) Executive’s rights to indemnification from the Company shall remain in full force in effect, including,
without limitation, pursuant to (i) the Director and Officer Indemnification Agreement between the Company and Executive, dated July
21, 2021, (ii) the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws, or (iii) any applicable D&O insurance policy with the
Company, subject to the respective terms, conditions, and limitations of such indemnification agreement, certificate of incorporation
and bylaws, or D&O insurance policy, in each case, as may be applicable, but, in each case, as supplemented by the “Indemnification”
and “Successors and Assigns” provisions of the Employment Letter, and (b) the Award Documents (as modified herein) shall
remain in full force and effect. For clarity, any reference in the Award Documents to terms defined in the Employment Letter shall remain
references thereto and, solely for purposes of such applicable Option Awards, the definitions of such terms set forth in the Employment
Letter shall not be superseded by this Agreement.

 

8. No Oral Modification. This Agreement
may only be amended in a writing signed by Executive and the person signing on behalf of the Company below (or such other representative
of the Company specifically authorized to agree to modifications of this Agreement).

 

9. Governing Law. This Agreement shall
be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard for choice-of-law provisions. Executive consents to personal and exclusive
jurisdiction and venue in the State of California and waives any right to a jury trial.

 

10. Counterparts; Headings. This Agreement
may be executed in counterparts and may be signed, transmitted and maintained in electronic form. Headings are inserted for convenience
of reference only.

 

11. Voluntary Execution of Agreement.
Executive understands and agrees that Executive executed this Agreement voluntarily, without any duress or undue influence on the part
or behalf of the Company or any third party. Executive acknowledges that:

 

		(a)	Executive has read this Agreement;

		(b)	Executive has been represented in the preparation, negotiation,
and execution of this Agreement by legal counsel of Executive’s own choice;

		(c)	Executive understands the terms and consequences of this Agreement;

		(d)	Executive is fully aware of the legal and binding effect of
this Agreement; and
