Ms. Han, age 48, has served as Senior Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer of Romeo Power, Inc. (NYSE: RMO), a company that designs, engineers, and manufactures lithium-ion cylindrical battery packs for electric vehicles and energy storage solutions from July 2021 to October 2022. Prior to that, Ms. Han served as Vice President and Corporate Controller of ImmunityBio, Inc. (NASDAQ: IBRX), a clinical-stage biotechnology company, from 2019 to 2021, where she oversaw SEC financial reporting and full cycle operational and general ledger accounting.

Each RSU grant will vest in equal 25% increments on each of the first four anniversaries of the applicable grant date, provided Ms. Han remains employed with the Company on each such vesting date.
Subject to approval by the Board and the terms of the Company’s 2021 Stock Incentive Plan, Ms. Han will be eligible to receive an additional number of performance stock units (“PSUs”) having a target value equal to $2,000,000 if the Company and Ms. Han reach certain milestones and/or performance goals on certain dates as specified by the Board. The first tranche of such PSUs were granted to Ms. Han as of her start date and have a grant date fair value of $300,000 and will vest on the first three anniversaries of the start of production of the Company’s FF 91 model.
In the event that Ms. Han’s employment is terminated without cause or due to her death or disability or if she resigns for good reason, then, subject to her execution and non-revocation of a standard release of claims in favor of the Company and its affiliates, she will be entitled to (i) a lump sum payment equal to twelve months’ base salary, (ii) Ms. Han’s target annual bonus and (iii) the immediate vesting in full of all outstanding equity awards, with any applicable performance metrics to be deemed satisfied at the greater of target performance or actual performance measured on the termination date.

Exhibit 10.1
October 21, 2022
Dear Yun Han,
I am pleased to offer you a position with Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (“FFIE” or the “Company”), as an exempt Chief Accounting Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer reporting to Carsten Breitfeld, Chief Executive Officer or, following the appointment of a permanent Chief Financial Officer, reporting to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. If you decide to join us, you will receive an annual salary of $400,000 that will be paid semi-monthly in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices and subject to taxes and other required withholdings.
Bonuses: As an employee, you will be eligible to receive a discretionary annual performance bonus up to $240,000 (the “Annual Bonus”), subject to taxes and other required withholdings. Any Annual Bonus will be awarded in the sole discretion of the Company. You must be an active employee on the date any discretionary bonus is paid in order for the bonus to be deemed earned. The bonus will not be deemed earned by you and become payable unless or until it is awarded by the Company and you remain employed through the payment date. The timing of your Annual Bonus shall coincide with similar bonuses paid to other members of the Company’s senior management.
You also will be eligible to receive a signing and retention bonus in an amount of $200,000 in cash (the “Cash Signing and Retention Bonus”) and restricted stock units (“RSUs”), with each unit representing the right to receive one share of FFIE Class A Common Stock, having a total grant date fair value equal to $200,000, which shall fully vest thirty (30) days after the date of grant (which shall be the date of your onboarding at the Company), subject to your continued employment through such date (the “Equity Signing and Retention Bonus” and with the “Cash Signing and Retention Bonus,” the “Signing and Retention Bonus”). The Signing and Retention Bonus shall not be fully earned by you unless and until you (1) meet the employment conditions set forth herein, (2) accept and return this offer letter by October 22, 2022, and (3) remain employed with the Company for a period of at least twenty-four (24) months from your start date (“Milestone Retention Date”). The Cash Signing and Retention Bonus will be payable in one lump sum in a separate check on the next regularly scheduled pay date after your start date with the Company. The Signing and Retention Bonus is taxable, and all regular payroll taxes will be withheld. The Equity Signing and Retention Bonus is subject to approval by the FFIE Board of Directors and the terms of the FFIE 2021 Stock Incentive Plan and the underlying award agreement (a copy of each will be provided to you at the appropriate time).
The Signing and Retention Bonus is not earned until all three of the above conditions are met. In the event you voluntarily leave the Company prior to the Milestone Retention Date, you will be responsible for (i) reimbursing the Company a pro rata portion of the full Cash Signing and Retention Bonus received by you within ten (10) days of the date you leave the Company and (ii) returning to the Company a pro-rata portion of the shares subject to the RSUs or, if such shares have been sold, reimbursing to the Company the related Award Proceeds (as defined herein), in each case, within ten (10) days of the date you leave the Company. Any such calculation shall be based on the total number of whole calendar months remaining between the separation date and the Milestone Retention Date. For purposes of this offer letter, Award Proceeds shall mean the Fair Market Value (as defined in the FFIE 2021 Stock Incentive Plan) of a share of common stock of the Company on the date the RSU was granted, multiplied by the number of shares of stock subject to the pro rata repayment. In the event you are terminated for Cause at any time after receiving the Cash Signing and Retention Bonus, you will be responsible for reimbursing the Company the full Cash Signing and Retention Bonus received by you within ten (10) days of the date you are terminated. For purposes of this offer letter, “Cause” shall mean (i) an intentional act of fraud, embezzlement, theft or any other material violation of law that occurs during or in the course of your employment with Company; (ii) intentional or grossly negligent damage to Company’s interests or assets; (iii) intentional or grossly negligent disclosure of Company’s confidential information contrary to Company policies; (iv) intentional or grossly negligent engagement in any competitive activity which would constitute a breach of your duty of loyalty or any other duties you hold to the Company; (v) intentional or grossly negligent breach of any of Company’s policies; (vi) the willful and continued failure to substantially perform your duties for Company (other than as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness); or (vii) other willful or grossly negligent conduct by you that is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company, monetarily or otherwise.
Benefits: The Company provides all full-time employees with subsidized health insurance, the opportunity to participate in the Company’s 401k-retirement plan, paid time off, and holiday entitlement, specific details of which will be provided shortly after you join the Company.
In addition to your Equity Signing and Retention Bonus, you also will be eligible to receive an additional number of RSUs having a total value equal to $2,000,000. The RSUs shall be granted as follows:

You also will be eligible to receive an additional number of performance stock units (“PSUs”) having a target value equal to $2,000,000 if the Company and you reach certain milestones and/or performance goals on certain dates as specified by the Board of Directors (each, a “Milestone”). Such Milestones could include but not be limited to the start of production of the Company’s flagship vehicle – the FF91. The PSUs shall be granted as follows:
