Released Claims shall not include claims to enforce this Forbearance Agreement or for breach of this Forbearance Agreement.

“Unknown Claims” means claims which the Fisker Releasing Parties do not know or do or do not suspect to exist in their favor at the time of the release of the Released Claims, which, if known by them might have affected their release of the Released Claims, or might have affected their decision(s) with respect to this Forbearance Agreement. With respect to any and all Released Claims, the Fisker Releasing Parties stipulate and agree that they expressly waive, the provisions, rights, and benefits of California Civil Code §1542, which provides:

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.

The Fisker Releasing Parties hereby further waive any and all provisions, rights and benefits conferred by any law of any state or territory of the United States, or principle of common law, which is similar, comparable, or equivalent to California Civil Code §1542. The Fisker Releasing Parties acknowledge that they may hereafter discover facts in addition to or different from those which they now know or believe to be true with respect to the subject matter of the Released Claims, but expressly fully, finally and forever waive, compromise, settle, discharge,

extinguish and release fully, finally and forever, any and all Released Claims, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, contingent or non-contingent, whether or not concealed or hidden, which now exist, or heretofore have existed, upon any theory of law or equity now existing or coming into existence in the future, including, but not limited to, conduct which is negligent, intentional, with or without malice, or a breach of any duty, law or rule, without regard to the subsequent discovery or existence of such different or additional facts, legal theories or authorities. The Fisker Releasing Parties acknowledge that the foregoing waiver was separately bargained for and is an essential element of this Forbearance Agreement.

(b) Non-Disparagement. Each Obligor, on behalf of itself, its Subsidiaries, and each of the other Fisker Releasing Parties, agrees that it will not at any time make, publish or communicate (whether made or given orally, in writing, in any digital medium, in any filing with any Governmental Entity or in any other manner) to any Person, any Disparaging (defined below) remarks, comments or statements concerning any of the Released Parties or any of the Transaction Documents. For purposes of this Forbearance Agreement, “Disparaging” remarks, comments or statements are those that impugn, or threaten to impugn, the character, honesty, integrity, morality, legality, business acumen or abilities of the individual or Person or Transaction Document being disparaged, as applicable. Disparaging remarks shall expressly include, but not be limited to, any suggestion that any of the Released Parties violates or operates in contravention of federal or state securities laws, that any term or condition of any of the Transaction Documents are void or invalid, or any other remark, comment or statement that undermines any of the Released Parties’ reputation or the validity or enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents (whether made or given orally, in writing, in any digital medium, in any filing with any Governmental Entity or in any other manner to any Person). Each Obligor further agrees that it should be jointly and severally liable under this Section 7(b) for any Disparaging remarks, comments or statements of any of the Fisker Releasing Parties. The Fisker Releasing Parties acknowledge that the foregoing non-disparagement agreement was separately bargained for and is an essential element of this Forbearance Agreement.

Section 8. More Favorable Terms. To the extent that any other forbearance, standstill or other similar agreement entered into by any Obligor (any such agreement, a “Third Party Forbearance Agreement”), or any amendment to any Third Party Forbearance Agreement, in each case, entered into or agreed on or after the date of this Forbearance Agreement and during the Forbearance Period, provides any benefit or right (including, without limitation, the benefit of a forbearance period of shorter duration than the Forbearance Period) to any creditor party thereto that is more favorable than the benefits and rights provided to the Collateral Agent and the Noteholder under this Forbearance Agreement, taking into account the terms and conditions of the underlying financing documents in effect with such creditor party, this Forbearance Agreement shall be deemed to be amended so as to cause any such benefit or right to be incorporated into this Forbearance Agreement concurrently with making any such benefit or right available, and on comparable terms as it is made available, to any such other creditor.

Section 9. Fees and Expenses; Indemnities. Without limiting any of the Collateral Agent’s or the Noteholder’s rights, or any of the Obligors’ obligations, under Section 9(k) of the Securities Purchase Agreement or Sections 19 of the Notes (each of which each Obligor hereby reconfirms), the Obligors shall be liable for and shall pay the Collateral Agent and the Noteholder the amount of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including but not limited to legal and financial advisory fees, of White & Case LLP, Xxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxx LLP and GHU Associates, LLC, and any other legal or financial advisors determined by the Collateral Agent or the Noteholder to be necessary) incurred by the Collateral Agent and the Noteholder in connection with (i) the negotiation and preparation of, entry into, delivery of, and exercise of its rights under this Forbearance Agreement and all other documents and instruments delivered in connection with this Forbearance Agreement, and (ii) the enforcement of, or preservation of their rights under, this Forbearance Agreement.

Section 10. Counterparts. This Forbearance Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Except to the extent applicable law would prohibit the same, make the same unenforceable or affirmatively requires a manually executed counterpart signature, the delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Forbearance Agreement by emailed .pdf or any other electronic means approved by the Noteholder and the Collateral Agent in writing (which may be via email) that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be as effective as the delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Forbearance Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, the words “execution”, “signed”, “signature”, “delivery” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Forbearance Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be deemed to include an electronic sound, symbol, or process attached to, or associated with, a contract or other record and adopted by a Person with the intent to sign, authenticate or accept such contract or other record (each, an “Electronic Signature”), deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. The Noteholder and/or the Collateral Agent may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by telecopier or other electronic transmission be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by telecopier or other electronic transmission.

Section 11. Severability. The invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any provision in or obligation under this Forbearance Agreement in any jurisdiction shall not affect or impair the validity, legality, or enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations under this Forbearance Agreement or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction.

Section 12. Further Assurances. Each Obligor agrees to, and to cause any other Obligor to, take all further actions and execute all further documents as the Noteholder and/or the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Forbearance Agreement and all other agreements executed and delivered in connection herewith.

Section 13. Section Headings. Section headings in this Forbearance Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute part of this Forbearance Agreement for any other purpose.

Section 14. Notices. All notices, requests, and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto shall be given in accordance with the Securities Purchase Agreement.
