WARRANT EXERCISE AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.6
EXECUTION COPY
This Warrant Exercise Agreement (this “Agreement”) is dated as of September 23, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the undersigned investors (the “Holders”). Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning as set forth in the Existing Warrants (as defined below).
WHEREAS, prior to the date hereof, the Holders acquired Original Issue Discount Convertible Notes (“OID Notes”) and Subordinated Intermediate Last Out Promissory Notes (“Last Out Notes”, together with the OID Notes, the “Existing Notes”) issued by the Company in such amounts as set forth in the signature page of the Holders;
WHEREAS, prior to the date hereof, in connection with the issuance by the Company of the Existing Notes, the Holders acquired warrants to purchase such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock (as defined in the Existing Warrants) as set forth on the signature page of the Holders (the “Existing Warrants”, and together with any Supplemental Warrants, the “Holder Warrants”); and
WHEREAS, the Company desires that the Holders consummate one or more cash exercises of certain of the Holder Warrants.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Holders agree as follows:
Section 1. Forced Exercise.
1.1 General. At any time prior to January 23, 2023, so long as (I) no Equity Conditions Failure then exists (unless waived in writing by the Holders), and (II) no Forced Exercise (as defined below) (or voluntary exercise of Holder Warrants with at least $7 million in aggregate exercise price) has occurred in the five (5) Trading Day period immediately prior to the applicable date of determination (each such applicable date, a “Forced Exercise Eligibility Date”), the Company shall have the right, exercisable on one or more occasions, to require the Holders to exercise on a cash basis (each, a “Forced Exercise”) the Holder Warrants in the Holder Warrant Reserve, in part, into up to such aggregate number of fully paid, validly issued and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) as designated in the applicable Forced Exercise Notice (as defined below) to be issued and delivered in accordance herewith (but not (x) in excess of $7 million in aggregate exercise price for any single Forced Exercise or (y) for all Forced Exercises in excess of the difference of (A) the Maximum Exercise Price Amount (as defined below) less (B) the aggregate exercise price of any voluntary exercises of Holder Warrants after the date hereof) (such maximum aggregate number of Warrant Shares to be issued in any given Forced Exercise, each a “Maximum Forced Exercise Share Amount”). The Company may exercise its right to require a Forced Exercise under this Section 1(a) by delivering a written notice thereof, at one, or more times, by electronic mail to all, but not less than all, of the Holders (each, a “Forced Exercise Notice”, and the date thereof, each a “Forced Exercise Notice Date”) on a Forced Exercise Eligibility Date. For purposes of Section 1(a) hereof, “Forced Exercise Notice” shall be deemed to replace “Notice of Exercise” for all purposes in the Holder Warrants as if the applicable Holder delivered an Notice of Exercise to the Company on the Forced Exercise Notice Date, mutatis mutandis. Each Forced Exercise Notice shall be irrevocable. Each Forced Exercise Notice shall state (i) the Trading Day selected for the Forced Exercise in accordance with this Section 1(a), which Trading Day shall be the second (2nd) Trading Day following the applicable Forced Exercise Notice Date (each, a “Forced Exercise Date”), (ii) the aggregate portion of the Holder Warrants subject to forced exercise from the Holders pursuant to this Section 1(a), which, collectively, shall not exceed the applicable Maximum Forced Exercise Share Amount for such Forced Exercise (including calculations with respect thereto) and (iii) that there is no Equity Conditions Failure as of such Forced Exercise Date (or specifying any such Equity Conditions Failure that then exists, with an acknowledgement that unless such Equity Conditions are waived, in whole or in part, such Forced Exercise Notice will be invalid). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if an Equity Conditions Failure occurs at any time after a Forced Exercise Notice Date and prior to the related Forced Exercise Date, (A) the Company shall provide the Holders a subsequent notice to that effect and (B) unless the Holders waive the applicable Equity Conditions Failure, the Forced Exercise shall be cancelled and the applicable Forced Exercise Notice shall be null and void. For the avoidance of doubt, if as of any date of determination the Company has an outstanding and uncured event of default (each, an “Event of Default”) under any agreement or security with any of the Holders or any indebtedness of the Company with any of the Holders or any affiliate of any of the Holders (each, a “Existing Document”), the Company shall have no right to effect a Forced Exercise without the prior waiver of the Holders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company may implement a Warrant Exercise Price Reduction at any time upon written notice to the Holders without the prior written consent of the Holders or any other Person.

All such determinations to be appropriately adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar transactions during any such measuring period.

The Holders hereby agree to waive, in part, the adjustments to the exercise price of the Existing Warrants and the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Existing Warrants (without regard to any limitations on exercise set forth therein) arising as a result of the issuance of the Adjustment Warrant (as defined in that certain Amendment No. 1 to Securities Purchase Agreement and Convertible Senior Secured Promissory Notes, by and among the Company, FF Simplicity Ventures LLC and the other parties thereto, dated on or about the date hereof (the “First Amendment”)) such that (x) the exercise price of such aggregate number of Existing Warrants exercisable into an aggregate of 29,158,364 shares of Common Stock (allocated pro rata to the Holders based upon the aggregate number of Existing Warrants held by the Holders as of the date hereof) that are not included in the Holder Warrant Reserve shall automatically be lowered to $0.50 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations and similar events) in accordance with Section 3(b) of the Existing Warrants as a result of the initial issuance of the Adjustment Warrant, but no other reduction in the exercise price of any other Existing Warrants shall occur as a result of the initial issuance of the Adjustment Warrant and (y) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Existing Warrants (without regard to any limitations on exercise set forth therein) shall not increase as a result of the initial issuance of the Adjustment Warrant; provided further, for the avoidance of doubt, the waivers in this Section 1.3 shall not apply to any future voluntary adjustments to the exercise price of the Adjustment Warrant by the Company in accordance with Section 3(b) of the Adjustment Warrant, if any.
