Item
1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 16, 2023, Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (the “Company”)
entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Xuefeng Chen (“Purchaser”), the Global Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell one share of the Company’s newly designated
Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A Preferred”), to the Purchaser for a purchase price of
$100.00. The closing of the sale and purchase of the share of Series A Preferred was completed on June 16, 2023.
Additional information regarding the rights, preferences, privileges and
restrictions applicable to the Series A Preferred is set forth under Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser has agreed to cast
the votes represented by the share of Series A Preferred on any Reverse Stock Split Proposal (defined below) in the same proportion as
shares of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) are voted (excluding any shares of Common Stock that are not voted,
whether due to abstentions, broker non-votes or otherwise) on such Reverse Stock Split Proposal; provided, that unless and until at least
one-third of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on the record date established for the meeting of stockholders at which the Reverse
Stock Split Proposal is presented are present in person or represented by proxy at such meeting, the Purchaser will not vote the share
of Series A Preferred on such Reverse Stock Split Proposal. A “Reverse Stock Split Proposal” means any proposal approved by
the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and submitted to the stockholders of the Company to adopt an amendment,
or a series of alternate amendments, to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to combine
the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock at a ratio specified in or determined in accordance
with the terms of such amendment or series of alternate amendments.
The foregoing summary of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be
complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this
Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
Item
3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The disclosure included in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on
Form 8-K is incorporated under this Item 3.02 by reference. The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” and the offer and
sale of the share of Series A Preferred was exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.
Item
3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
The disclosure included in Item 5.03 related to the Series A Certificate
of Designation is incorporated of this report is incorporated into this Item 3.03 by reference. Prior to the issuance of the Series A
Preferred, stockholder approval of a Reverse Stock Split Proposal required the affirmative approval of a majority of the voting power
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Following the issuance of the Series A Preferred, stockholder approval of a Reverse Stock Split
Proposal requires affirmative approval from a majority of the voting power of the shares of Common Stock and the share of Series A Preferred,
voting together as a single class. The Purchaser will cast the votes represented by the share of Series A Preferred on a Reverse Stock
Split Proposal in a manner that mirrors the votes cast by holders of Common Stock on such proposal. Prior to the issuance of the share
of Series A Preferred, abstentions and any other non-votes would have had the same effect as a vote against a Reverse Stock Split Proposal.
Following the issuance of the share of Series A Preferred, abstentions and any other non-votes on a Reverse Stock Split Proposal will
still technically have the same effect as a vote against such proposal, but because the share of Series A Preferred has a high number
of votes and will vote in a manner that mirrors votes actually cast by the holders of Common Stock (which does not include abstentions
or any other non-votes), abstentions and any other non-votes will have no effect on the manner in which the Series A Preferred votes are
cast.
Item
5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
Certificate of Designation of Preferences Designating the Series
A Preferred Stock
On June 16, 2023, in connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company
filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Certificate
of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Series A Certificate of Designation designates one share
of the Company’s preferred stock as Series A Preferred, and establishes and designates the preferences, rights and limitations thereof.
The Series A Certificate of Designation became effective upon filing. Pursuant to the Series A Certificate of Designation:
Convertibility. The share of Series A Preferred is not convertible
into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or series of stock or other securities of the Company.
Dividends. The share of Series A Preferred shall not be entitled
to receive dividends.
Voting. The share of Series A Preferred will have 60,000,000,000
votes, but has the right to vote only on any Reverse Stock Split Proposal and until such time as a Reverse Stock Split Proposal is approved
by the stockholders, and will have no voting rights except (i) with respect to a Reverse Stock Split Proposal in which its votes are cast
for and against such Reverse Stock Split Proposal in the same proportion as shares of Common Stock are voted for and against such Reverse
Stock Split Proposal (with any shares of Common Stock that are not voted, whether due to abstentions, broker non-votes or otherwise not
counted as votes for or against the Reverse Stock Split Proposal) and (ii) unless the holders of one-third (1/3rd) of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock are present, in person or by proxy, at the meeting of stockholders at which a Reverse Stock Split Proposal is submitted
for stockholder approval (or any adjournment thereof). The share of Series A Preferred will vote together with the Common Stock as a single
class on any Reverse Stock Split Proposal. The Series A Preferred has no other voting rights, except as may be required by the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
Rank; Liquidation. Upon a liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization,
merger, acquisition, sale, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, pursuant to which assets of
the Company or consideration received by the Company are to be distributed to the stockholders, the holder of Series A Preferred will
be entitled to receive, before any payment is made to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount equal
to $100.00.
Transfer Restrictions. The Series A Preferred may not be transferred at any time prior to stockholder
approval of a Reverse Stock Split Proposal without the prior written consent of the Board.
Redemption. The outstanding share of Series A Preferred will be redeemed in whole,
but not in part, for a redemption price of $100.00, payable out of funds lawfully available therefor, upon the earlier of (i) any time
such redemption is ordered by the Board in its sole discretion, automatically and effective on such time and date specified by the Board
in its sole discretion, or (ii) automatically immediately following the approval by the stockholders of the Company of a Reverse Stock
Split Proposal.
The foregoing summary of the Series A Certificate of Designation does not
purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Series A Certificate of Designation,
which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Amendment to the Company’s Bylaws
On and effective as of June 12, 2023, the Board approved the amendment
and restatement of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (as so amended and restated, the “Bylaws”). Specifically,
the Board amended Article III, Sections 8 and 9 to reduce the quorum required for meetings of stockholders from a majority to one-third
(1/3) of the voting power of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote.
The foregoing description of the Bylaws is qualified in its entirety
by reference to the full text of the Bylaws filed as Exhibit 3.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
Item 8.01. Other Events
The Company and the first Spire users that represent the U.S. luxury
real estate business, celebrities and luxury car business launch the FF 91 2.0 Owner Developer Co-Creation Project.
The first three users of the FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance are committed
to providing long-term support for FF’s product development, product improvement, brand marketing, product design, sales and user acquisitions.
These users have joined or are currently considering participating in the FF owner-developer co-creation project. The co-creation business
model is an open UP2U business model that allows users to become FF partners and enable value co-creation. The shared technology platform
is expected to provide more innovation and services for users and achieve better co-sharing benefits. In particular, the user developer
part of FF’s co-creation program enables FF to establish a strong cooperative relationship with valued users and consultants. These
user developers are acquiring the FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance upon payment of the purchase consideration. They are also entering into
consulting, branding, and other arrangements with FF in exchange for fees ranging from approximately $225,000 to $475,000. Through these
collaborations, the initial group of car owners will establish a strong cooperative relationship with FF as valued users and consultants.
This development cooperation is expected to enable FF to tap into Spire user markets within the luxury home, celebrity, and luxury car
circles.
Update of Timing of Phase 2 Deliveries
The Company also announced that due to a supplier’s timing constraints
and the completion of an additional system testing related to the Company’s enhanced safety testing of a single unique product feature
of the FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance, the Company is updating the timing of its previously announced FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance Phase 2
delivery from the end of the second quarter 2023 to August 2023. The Company’s enhanced safety testing is unrelated to FMVSS requirements.
While the Company continues its efforts to improve its supply chain and further perform system testing, the Company will continue to expand
its co-creation efforts with its Phase 1 Futurist Product Officers (FPOs) for continuously improving its product and technology power.
The three-phase delivery plan is aimed at continuously implementing the Company’s core philosophy and corporate vision of co-creation
and co-sharing.

Section
5. Annual Meeting.
(a)
The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, for the purpose of election of directors and for such other business as
may properly come before it, shall be held on such date and at such time as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors.
Subject to that certain Shareholder Agreement, dated as of July 21, 2021 (such agreement, as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise
modified from time to time, the “Shareholder Agreement”), by and between the Corporation and FF Top Holding Ltd.,
an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, nominations of persons for election
to the Board of Directors of the Corporation and the proposal of business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual
meeting of stockholders:
(i)
pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting of stockholders (with respect to business other than nominations) or any supplement
thereto; (ii) brought specifically by or at the direction of the Board of Directors; or (iii) by any stockholder of the Corporation who
was a stockholder of record at the time of giving the stockholder’s notice provided for in Section 5(b) below, who is entitled
to vote at the meeting and who complied with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 5. For the avoidance of doubt, clause (iii)
above shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations and submit other business (other than matters properly included
in the Corporation’s notice of meeting of stockholders and proxy statement under Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “1934 Act”)) before an annual meeting of stockholders.
(b)
At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as is a proper matter for stockholder action under
Delaware law and as shall have been properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures below.
(i)
For nominations for the election to the Board of Directors to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant
to clause (iii) of Section 5(a) of these Bylaws, the stockholder must deliver written notice to the Secretary at the principal executive
offices of the Corporation on a timely basis as set forth in Section 5(b)(iii) and must update and supplement such written notice on
a timely basis as set forth in Section 5(c). Such stockholder’s notice shall set forth: (A) as to each nominee such stockholder
proposes to nominate at the meeting: (1) the name, age, business address and residence address of such nominee; (2) the principal occupation
or employment of such nominee; (3) the class and number of shares of each class of capital stock of the Corporation which are owned of
record and beneficially by such nominee; (4) the date or dates on which such shares were acquired and the investment intent of such acquisition;
(5) a description of all Derivative Transactions (as defined below) by such nominee during the previous twelve (12) month period, including
the date of the transactions and the class, series and number of securities involved in, and the material economic terms of, such Derivative
Transactions; (6) a written statement executed by such nominee that such nominee agrees to tender an irrevocable resignation to the Secretary
of the Corporation, to be effective upon such person’s failure to receive the required vote for re-election in any uncontested
election at which such person would face re-election and acceptance of such resignation by the Board of Directors; (7) a written statement
executed by such nominee that such nominee acknowledges that as a director of the Corporation, such nominee will owe a fiduciary duty
under Delaware law with respect to the Corporation and its stockholders; (8) a description of all direct and indirect compensation and
other material monetary agreements, arrangements and understandings during the past three (3) years, and any other material relationships,
between or among any Proponent, on the one hand, and such nominee, such nominee’s affiliates and associates and any other persons
with whom such nominee (or any of such nominee’s affiliates and associates) is acting in concert, on the other hand, including,
without limitation, all information that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 under Regulation S-K; (9) such other
information concerning such nominee as would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement soliciting proxies for the election of
such nominee as a director in an election contest (even if an election contest is not involved), or that is otherwise required to be
disclosed pursuant to Section 14 of the 1934 Act (including such person’s written consent to being named as a nominee and to serving
as a director if elected); (10) such other information as the Corporation may reasonably require such nominee to furnish in order for
the Corporation to determine the eligibility of such nominee to serve as an independent director of the Corporation or that could be
material to a reasonable stockholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such nominee; and (11) a written
questionnaire, in the form required by the Secretary of the Corporation, with respect to the background and qualifications of such nominee
and the background and other relevant facts about the Proponent and each other person on whose behalf the nomination is being made (which
questionnaire shall be provided by the Secretary upon written request) and a written representation and agreement (in the form provided
by the Secretary upon written request) that, among other matters, such nominee: (i) is not and will not become a party to any agreement,
arrangement or understanding with, and has not given any commitment or assurance to, any person as to how such potential nominee, if
elected as a director, will act or vote on any issue or question that has not been disclosed in such questionnaire; (ii) is not and will
not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person other than the Corporation with respect to any direct
or indirect compensation, reimbursement or indemnification in connection with service or action as a director that has not been disclosed
in such questionnaire; (iii) would be in compliance, if elected or re-elected as a director, and will comply with, applicable law and
all corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality and other policies and guidelines of the Corporation applicable to directors
generally and publicly available (whether on the Corporation’s website or otherwise) as of the date of such representation and
agreement and (iv) intends to serve as a director for the full term for which such person is standing for election; and (B) the information
required by Section 5(b)(iv). The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as it may reasonably
require to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as an independent director of the Corporation or that could be
material to a reasonable stockholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such proposed nominee. Any such update
or supplement shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five (5) business
days after the request by the Corporation for subsequent information has been delivered to such stockholder.
(ii)
Other than proposals sought to be included in the Corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the 1934 Act,
for business other than nominations for the election to the Board of Directors to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder
pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 5(a) of these Bylaws, the stockholder must deliver written notice to the Secretary at the principal
executive offices of the Corporation on a timely basis as set forth in Section 5(b)(iii), and must update and supplement such written
notice on a timely basis as set forth in Section 5(c). Such stockholder’s notice shall set forth: (A) as to each matter such stockholder
proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting
such business at the meeting, the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration
and in the event such business includes a proposal to amend these Bylaws, the language of the proposed amendment), and any material interest
in such business of any Proponent (as defined below) (including any anticipated benefit of such business to any Proponent other than
solely as a result of its ownership of the Corporation’s capital stock, that is material to any Proponent individually, or to the
Proponents in the aggregate); and (B) the information required by Section 5(b)(iv).
(iii)
To be timely, the written notice required by Section 5(b)(i) or 5(b)(ii) must be received by the Secretary at the principal executive
offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day nor earlier than the close of business on
the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting of the stockholders
of the Corporation; provided, however, that, subject to the last sentence of this Section 5(b)(iii), in the event that the date
of the annual meeting is advanced more than thirty (30) days prior to or delayed by more than thirty (30) days after the anniversary
of the preceding year’s annual meeting, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received (A) not earlier than the close
of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to such annual meeting and (B) not later than the close of business on the
later of (y) the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting and (z) the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement
of the date of such meeting is first made. In no event shall an adjournment or a postponement of an annual meeting of the stockholders
of the Corporation for which notice has been given, or the public announcement thereof has been made, commence a new time period (or
extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.
(iv)
To be in proper written form, the written notice required by Section 5(b)(i) or 5(b)(ii) shall also set forth, as of the date of
the notice and as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner(s), if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal
is made (each, a “Proponent” and collectively, the “Proponents”): (A) the name and address of each
Proponent, as they appear on the Corporation’s books; (B) the class, series and number of shares of the Corporation that are owned
beneficially and of record by each Proponent; (C) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether oral or in writing)
with respect to such nomination or proposal between or among any Proponent and any of its affiliates or associates, and any others (including
their names) acting in concert, or otherwise under the agreement, arrangement or understanding, with any of the foregoing; (D) any proxy,
contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship pursuant to which any Proponent or such Proponent’s nominee has a right to
vote any class or series of shares of the Corporation; (E) any direct or indirect interest of any Proponent or such Proponent’s
nominee in any contract with the Corporation, any affiliate of the Corporation or any principal competitor of the Corporation (including,
without limitation, any employment agreement, collective bargaining agreement or consulting agreement); (F) a representation that each
Proponent is a holder of record or a beneficial owner, as the case may be, of shares of the Corporation entitled to vote at the meeting
and intend to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice (with respect to

(G) a representation as to whether the Proponents intend to deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of a sufficient number

Corporation) with respect to, any principal competitor of the Corporation held by any Proponent.
(c)
A stockholder providing written notice required by Section 5(b)(i) or 5(b)(ii) shall update and supplement such notice in writing,
if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice is true and correct in all material respects
as of (i) the record date for the meeting and (ii) the date that is five (5) business days prior to the meeting and, in the event of

executive offices of the Corporation not later than two (2) business days prior to the date for the meeting, and, in the event of any
adjournment or postponement thereof, two (2) business days prior to such adjourned or postponed meeting.
(d)
Notwithstanding anything in Section 5(b)(iii) to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors of the Board of Directors
of the Corporation is increased and the Corporation publicly announces that the Board of Directors has determined by resolution that
any such vacancy or newly created directorship shall be filled by the stockholders at least ten (10) days before the last day a stockholder
may deliver a notice of nomination in accordance with Section 5(b)(iii), a stockholder’s notice required by this Section 5 and
which complies with the requirements in Section 5(b)(i), other than the timing requirements in Section 5(b)(iii), shall also be considered
timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be received by the Secretary at
the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on
which such determination is first publicly announced by the Corporation. In no event shall an adjournment or a postponement of an annual
meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation for which notice has been given, or the public announcement thereof, commence a new time
period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.
(e)
A person shall not be eligible for election as a director at an annual meeting of the stockholders unless the person is nominated
either in accordance with Section 5(a)(ii), or in accordance with Section 5(a)(iii). Further, no business shall be conducted at an annual
meeting of the stockholders except business brought before such annual meeting in accordance with this Section 5. Except as otherwise
required by law, the chairperson of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed
to be brought before the meeting was made, or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in these Bylaws
and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with these Bylaws, or the Proponent does not act in accordance with
the requirements and representations set forth in Sections 5(b)(iv), to declare that such proposal or nomination shall not be presented
for stockholder action at the meeting and shall be disregarded, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such nominations or such business
may have been solicited or received. Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, unless otherwise required by law, if a
Proponent intending to propose business or make nominations at an annual meeting the stockholders (or a qualified representative of the
Proponent) does not appear at the meeting to present the proposed business or nominations, such business or nominations shall not be
considered, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such business or nominations may have been solicited or received.
(f)
Except as otherwise required by law or the Shareholder Agreement, nothing in this Section 5 shall obligate the Corporation or the
Board of Directors to include in any proxy statement or other stockholder communication distributed on behalf of the Corporation or the
Board of Directors information with respect to any nominee for director or any other matter of business submitted by a stockholder.
(g)
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5, in order to include information with respect to a stockholder proposal
in the proxy statement and form of proxy for a stockholders’ meeting, a stockholder must also comply with all applicable requirements
of the 1934 Act. Nothing in these Bylaws shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the
Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the 1934 Act; provided, however, that any references in these
Bylaws to the 1934 Act are not intended to and shall not limit the requirements applicable to proposals and/or nominations to be considered
pursuant to this Section 5.
(h)
For so long as the Shareholder Agreement remains in effect, the requirements of this Section 5 shall not apply to the nomination
of any FF Top Designee (as defined in the Shareholder Agreement).
(i)
For purposes of Sections 5 and 6,
(i)
“affiliates” and “associates” shall have the meanings set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 12b-2 under the 1934 Act.
(ii)
a “Derivative Transaction” means any agreement, arrangement, interest or understanding entered into by, or on
behalf or for the benefit of, any Proponent or any of its affiliates or associates, whether record or beneficial:
(w)
the value of which is derived in whole or in part from the value of any class or series of shares or other securities of the Corporation,
(x)
which otherwise provides any direct or indirect opportunity to gain or share in any gain derived from a change in the value of securities
of the Corporation,
(y)
the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss, manage risk or benefit of security value or price changes, or
(z)
which provides the right to vote or increase or decrease the voting power of, such Proponent, or any of its affiliates or associates,
with respect to any securities of the Corporation, which agreement, arrangement, interest or understanding may include, without limitation,
any option, warrant, debt position, note, bond, convertible security, swap, stock appreciation right, short position, profit interest,
hedge, right to dividends, voting agreement, performance-related fee or arrangement to borrow or lend shares (whether or not subject
to payment, settlement, exercise or conversion in any such class or series), and any proportionate interest of such Proponent in the
securities of the Corporation held by any general or limited partnership, or any limited liability company, of which such Proponent is,
directly or indirectly, a general partner or managing member; and
(iii)
“public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated
Press or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission
pursuant to Sections 13, 14 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act.
Section
6. Special Meetings.
(a)
Special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may be called, for any purpose as is a proper matter for stockholder action
under Delaware law, by (i) the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, (ii) the Chief Executive Officer, or (iii) the Board of Directors
pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized directors (whether or not there exist any vacancies
in previously authorized directorships at the time any such resolution is presented to the Board of Directors for adoption). A special
meeting may not be called by any other person or person(s).
(b)
For a special meeting called pursuant to Section 6(a), the Board of Directors shall determine the time and place, if any, of such
special meeting. Upon determination of the time and place, if any, of the meeting, the Secretary shall cause a notice of meeting to be
given to the stockholders entitled to vote, in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 of these Bylaws. No business may be transacted
at a special meeting otherwise than as specified in the notice of meeting.
(c)
Subject to the Shareholder Agreement, nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting
of stockholders at which directors are to be elected (i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (ii) by any stockholder
of the Corporation who is a stockholder of record at the time of giving notice provided for in this Section 6(c), who shall be entitled
to vote at the meeting and who delivers written notice to the Secretary of the Corporation setting forth the information required by
Section 5(b)(i) and otherwise complies with Section 5 in respect of such nomination. In the event the Corporation calls a special meeting
of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board of Directors, any such stockholder of record may nominate
a person or persons (as the case may be), for election to such position(s) as specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting,
if written notice setting forth the information required by Section 5(b)(i) of these Bylaws shall be received by the Secretary at the
principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to
such meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement is first made by the Corporation of the date of the
special meeting and such stockholder otherwise complies with Section 5 in respect of such nomination. In no event shall an adjournment
or a postponement of a special meeting for which notice has been given, or the public announcement thereof has been made, commence a
new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.
(d)
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6, a stockholder must also comply with all applicable requirements of the
1934 Act with respect to matters set forth in this Section 6. Nothing in these Bylaws shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders
to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the 1934 Act; provided,
however, that any references in these Bylaws to the 1934 Act are not intended to and shall not limit the requirements applicable
to nominations for the election to the Board of Directors or proposals of other business to be considered pursuant to Section 6(c) of
these Bylaws.
(e)
Except as otherwise provided in the Shareholder Agreement, a person shall not be eligible for election as a director at a special
meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected unless the person is nominated in accordance with Section 6(c). Except as
otherwise required by law, the chairperson of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination was made in
accordance with the procedures set forth in these Bylaws and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with these
Bylaws (including, but not limited to, the case in which the Proponent does not act in accordance with the requirements and representations
set forth in Sections 5(b)(iv)), to declare that such nomination shall not be presented for stockholder action at the meeting and shall
be disregarded, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such nominations may have been solicited or received. Notwithstanding anything
in these Bylaws to the contrary, unless otherwise required by law, if a Proponent intending to make nominations at a special meeting
the stockholders (or a qualified representative of the Proponent) does not appear at the meeting to present the nominations, such nominations
shall not be considered, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such nominations may have been solicited or received.
Section
7. Notice of Meetings. Except as otherwise provided by law, notice, given in writing or by electronic transmission, of each meeting
of stockholders shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder
entitled to vote at such meeting, such notice to specify the place, if any, date and hour, in the case of special meetings, the purpose
or purposes of the meeting, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to
be present in person and vote at any such meeting. If mailed, notice is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid,
directed to the stockholder at such stockholder’s address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. If sent via electronic
transmission, notice is given as of the sending time recorded at the time of transmission. Notice of the time, place, if any, and purpose
of any meeting of stockholders (to the extent required) may be waived in writing, signed by the person entitled to notice thereof, or
by electronic transmission by such person, either before or after such meeting, and will be waived by any stockholder by his or her attendance
thereat in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by proxy, except when the stockholder attends a meeting for the express
purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called
or convened. Any stockholder so waiving notice of such meeting shall be bound by the proceedings of any such meeting in all respects
as if due notice thereof had been given.
Section
8. Quorum. At all meetings of stockholders, except where otherwise provided by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation, or by
these Bylaws, the presence, in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by proxy duly authorized, of the holders of one-third
of the voting power of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. In
the absence of a quorum, any meeting of stockholders may be adjourned, from time to time, either by the chairperson of the meeting or
by vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares represented thereat, but no other business shall be transacted
at such meeting. The stockholders present at a duly called or convened meeting, at which a quorum is present, may continue to transact
business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.
Section
9. Voting Standard for Stockholder Meetings. Except as otherwise provided by law or by applicable stock exchange rules, or by the
Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares present
in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy duly authorized at the meeting and entitled to vote generally
on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or
these Bylaws, directors shall be elected by a plurality in voting power of the shares present in person, by remote communication, if
applicable, or represented by proxy duly authorized at the meeting and entitled to vote generally on the election of directors. Where
a separate vote by a class or classes or series is required, except where otherwise provided by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation
or these Bylaws or by applicable stock exchange rules, one-third of the voting power of the outstanding shares of such class or classes
or series, present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy duly authorized, shall constitute a quorum
entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter. Except where otherwise provided by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation
or these Bylaws or by applicable stock exchange rules, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of shares of such class or classes
or series present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at the meeting shall be the act of such
class or classes or series.
Section
10. Adjournment and Notice of Adjourned Meetings. Any meeting of stockholders, whether annual or special, may be adjourned from time
to time either by the chairperson of the meeting or by the vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares present
in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy duly authorized at the meeting. When a meeting is adjourned
to another time or place, if any, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place, if any, thereof are announced
at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business that might have
been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days or if after the adjournment a new record
date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote
at the meeting.
Section
11. Voting Rights. For the purpose of determining those stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of the stockholders, except
as otherwise provided by law, only persons in whose names shares stand on the stock records of the Corporation on the record date, as
provided in Section 13 of these Bylaws, shall be entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders. Every person entitled to vote shall
have the right to do so either in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by an agent or agents authorized by a proxy granted
in accordance with Delaware law. An agent so appointed need not be a stockholder. No proxy shall be voted after three (3) years from
its date of creation unless the proxy explicitly provides for a longer period.
Section
12. Joint Owners of Stock. If shares or other securities having voting power stand of record in the names of two (2) or more persons,
whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint tenants, tenants in common, tenants by the entirety, or otherwise, or if two (2)
or more persons have the same fiduciary relationship respecting the same shares, unless the Secretary is given written notice to the
contrary and is furnished with a copy of the instrument or order appointing them or creating the relationship wherein it is so provided,
their acts with respect to voting shall have the following effect: (a) if only one (1) votes, his or her act binds all; (b) if more than
one (1) votes, the act of the majority so voting binds all; (c) if more than one (1) votes, but the vote is evenly split on any particular
matter, each faction may vote the securities in question proportionally, or may apply to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware
for relief as provided in Section 217(b) of the DGCL. If the instrument filed with the Secretary shows that any such tenancy is held
in unequal interests, a majority or even-split for the purpose of subsection (c) of this Section 12 shall be a majority or even-split
in interest.
Section
13. List of Stockholders. The Secretary shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete
list of the stockholders entitled to vote at said meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, showing the address of each stockholder and
the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any
purpose germane to the meeting, (a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access
to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (b) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of
the Corporation. In the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may
take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. The list shall be open to
examination of any stockholder during the time of the meeting as provided by law.
Section
14. Inspectors of Election. Before any meeting of stockholders, the Board of Directors shall appoint an inspector or inspectors of
election to act at the meeting or its adjournment. The number of inspectors shall be either one or three. Inspectors may be employees
of the Corporation or otherwise serve the Corporation in other capacities. If any person appointed as inspector fails to appear or fails
or refuses to act, then the chairperson of the meeting may, and upon the request of any stockholder or a stockholder’s proxy shall,
appoint a person to fill that vacancy; provided further that, in any case, if no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting
of stockholders, the chairperson of the meeting shall appoint at least one inspector to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering
upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath to execute faithfully the duties of inspector with strict impartiality
and according to the best of his or her ability. Such inspectors shall:
(i)
determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the number of shares represented at the meeting, the existence
of a quorum, and the authenticity, validity, and effect of proxies;
(ii)
receive votes, ballots or consents;
(iii)
hear and determine all challenges and questions in any way arising in connection with the right to vote;
(iv)
count and tabulate all votes or consents;
(v)
determine when the polls shall close;
(vi)
determine the result;
(vii)
certify their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting and their count of all votes and ballots; and
(viii)
do any other acts that may be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all stockholders.
The
inspectors of election shall perform their duties impartially, in good faith, to the best of their ability and as expeditiously as is
practical. If there are three inspectors of election, the decision, act or certificate of a majority is effective in all respects as
the decision, act or certificate of all. Any report or certificate made by the inspectors of election is prima facie evidence of the
facts stated therein.
Section
15. Action without Meeting. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, no action shall be taken by the stockholders
of the Corporation except at an annual or a special meeting of the stockholders called in accordance with these Bylaws, and no action
shall be taken by the stockholders by written consent or electronic transmission.
Section
16. Organization.

At every meeting of stockholders, the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, or, if a Chairperson has not been appointed or is absent,
the Chief Executive Officer, or if no Chief Executive Officer is then serving or is absent, the President, or, if the President is absent,
a chairperson of the meeting chosen by the Board shall act as chairperson. The Corporation’s Board of Directors or the Chairperson
of the Board may appoint the Chief Executive Officer as chairperson of the meeting. The Secretary, or, in his or her absence, an Assistant
Secretary or other officer or other person directed to do so by the chairperson of the meeting, shall act as secretary of the meeting.
(b)
The Board of Directors of the Corporation shall be entitled to make such rules or regulations for the conduct of meetings of stockholders
as it shall deem necessary, appropriate or convenient. Subject to such rules and regulations of the Board of Directors, if any, the chairperson

the judgment of such chairperson, are necessary, appropriate or convenient for the proper conduct of the meeting, including, without
limitation, establishing an agenda or order of business for the meeting, rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and

to be held in accordance with rules of parliamentary procedure.

as convenient at a special meeting of the stockholders called for that purpose in the manner provided in these Bylaws.

affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, or by a sole
remaining director. Any director elected in accordance with this Section 20 shall hold office until the next annual meeting of the stockholders
and until such director’s successor shall have been elected and qualified, or until

in his or her discretion, may either (a) require confirmation from the director prior to deeming the resignation effective, in which
case the resignation will be deemed effective upon receipt of such confirmation, or (b) deem the resignation effective at the time of
delivery of the resignation to the Secretary. Subject to the Shareholder Agreement and the rights of the holders of any series of preferred
stock or as otherwise provided by applicable law, when one or more directors shall resign from the Board of Directors, effective at a
future date, a majority of the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, shall have power to fill such vacancy

shall maintain the confidentiality of, and shall not share with any third party person or entity (including third parties that originally
sponsored, nominated or designated such director (the “Sponsoring Party”)), any non-public information learned in
their capacities as directors, including communications among members of the Board of Directors in their capacities as directors. The
Board of Directors may adopt a board confidentiality policy further implementing and interpreting the preceding sentence in this bylaw
(a “Board Confidentiality Policy”). All directors are required to comply with such confidentiality obligation in this

INDEMNIFICATION
Section
46. Indemnification of Directors, Executive Officers, Other Officers, Employees and Other Agents.
(a)
Directors and Executive Officers. The Corporation shall indemnify its directors and its executive officers (for the purposes of this
Article XI, “executive officers” shall have the meaning ascribed in Rule 3b-7 promulgated under the 1934 Act) to the
fullest extent not prohibited by the DGCL or any other applicable law; provided, however, that the Corporation may supplement
such indemnification by individual contracts with its directors and executive officers; and, provided, further, that the Corporation
shall not be required to indemnify any director or executive officer in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by
such person unless (i) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law, (ii) the proceeding was authorized by the Board
of Directors of the Corporation, (iii) such indemnification is provided by the Corporation, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers
vested in the Corporation under the DGCL or any other applicable law or (iv) such indemnification is required to be made under subsection
(d) of this Section 46.
(b)
Other Officers, Employees and Other Agents. The Corporation shall have the power to indemnify (including the power to advance expenses)
its other officers, employees and other agents as set forth in the DGCL or any other applicable law. The Board of Directors shall have
the power to delegate the determination of whether indemnification shall be given to any such person except executive officers to such
officers or other persons as the Board of Directors shall determine.
(c)
Expenses. The Corporation may advance to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that
he or she is or was a director or executive officer, of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a
director or executive officer of another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition
of the proceeding, promptly following request therefor, all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred
by any director or executive officer in connection with such proceeding; provided, however, that if the DGCL requires, an advancement
of expenses incurred by a director or executive officer in his or her capacity as a director or executive officer (and not in any other
capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan)
shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced
if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that such indemnitee is
not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section 46 or otherwise.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, unless otherwise determined pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section 46, no advance shall be made by the Corporation
to an executive officer of the Corporation (except by reason of the fact that such executive officer is or was a director of the Corporation
in which event this paragraph shall not apply) in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative,
if a determination is reasonably and promptly made (i) by a majority vote of directors who were not parties to the proceeding, even if
not a quorum, or (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum,
or (iii) if there are no such directors, or such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts
known to the decisionmaking party at the time such determination is made demonstrate that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner
that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation.
(d)
Enforcement. Without the necessity of entering into an express contract, all rights to indemnification and advances to directors
and executive officers under this Bylaw shall be deemed to be contractual rights and be effective to the same extent and as if provided
for in a contract between the Corporation and the director or executive officer. Any right to indemnification or advances granted by
this Section 46 to a director or executive officer shall be enforceable by or on behalf of the person holding such right in any court
of competent jurisdiction if (i) the claim for indemnification or advances is denied, in whole or in part, or (ii) no disposition of
such claim is made within ninety (90) days of request therefor. To the extent permitted by law, the claimant in such enforcement action,
if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting the claim. In connection with any claim
for indemnification, the Corporation shall be entitled to raise as a defense to any such action that the claimant has not met the standards
of conduct that make it permissible under the DGCL or any other applicable law for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the
amount claimed. In connection with any claim by an executive officer of the Corporation (except in any action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such executive officer is or was a director of the Corporation)
for advances, the Corporation shall be entitled to raise a defense as to any such action clear and convincing evidence that such person
acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation,
or with respect to any criminal action or proceeding that such person acted without reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct
was lawful. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders)
to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances
because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL or any other applicable law, nor an actual determination
by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such
applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable
standard of conduct. In any suit brought by a director or executive officer to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement
of expenses hereunder, the burden of proving that the director or executive officer is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement
of expenses, under this Section 46 or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.
(e)
Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this Bylaw shall not be exclusive of any other right which such
person may have or hereafter acquire under any applicable statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, agreement,
vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another
capacity while holding office. The Corporation is specifically authorized to enter into individual contracts with any or all of its directors,
officers, employees or agents respecting indemnification and advances, to the fullest extent not prohibited by the DGCL, or by any other
applicable law.
(f)
Survival of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this Bylaw shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director
or executive officer or officer, employee or other agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of
such a person.
(g)
Insurance. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL or any other applicable law, the Corporation, upon approval by the Board of
Directors, may purchase insurance on behalf of any person required or permitted to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 46.
(h)
Amendments. Any amendment, repeal or modification of this Section 46 shall only be prospective and shall not affect the rights under
this Bylaw in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act giving rise to liability or indemnification.
(i)
Saving Clause. If this Bylaw or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then
the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each director and executive officer to the full extent not prohibited by any applicable
portion of this Section 46 that shall not have been invalidated, or by any other applicable law. If this Section 46 shall be invalid
due to the application of the indemnification provisions of another jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall indemnify each director
and executive officer to the full extent under any other applicable law.
(j)
Certain Definitions. For the purposes of this Bylaw, the following definitions shall apply:
(i)
The term “proceeding” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, the investigation, preparation,
prosecution, defense, settlement, arbitration and appeal of, and the giving of testimony in, any threatened, pending or completed action,

(including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger for which, if its separate existence had continued,
would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent Corporation
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand
in the same position under the provisions of this section with respect to the resulting or surviving Corporation as he would have with
respect to such constituent Corporation if its separate existence had continued.
(iv)
References to a “director,” “executive officer,” “officer,” “employee,”
or “agent” of the Corporation shall include, without limitation, situations where such person is serving at the request
of the Corporation as, respectively, a director, executive officer, officer, employee, trustee or agent of another Corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

References to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines”
shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at
the request of the Corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which
imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee, or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its
participants, or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest
of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to
the best interests of the Corporation” as referred to in this section.

binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except that such enforcement may
be subject to (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting or relating
to enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (b) general principles of equity, whether such enforceability is considered in
a proceeding at law or in equity (the “Enforceability Exceptions”). This Agreement and the consummation of the

2.3. Accredited Investor.
The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities

Company or any persons acting on their behalf concerning the Company and the terms and conditions of this investment, and to obtain any
additional information it desires to verify the accuracy of any information previously furnished. All such questions have been answered
to Purchaser’s full satisfaction, and all information and documents, records and books pertaining to this investment which it has
requested have been made available to it.

SUCH SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (1) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT
WITH RESPECT THERETO IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR (2) AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION
EXISTS AND THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD,
PLEDGED, ASSIGNED OR TRANSFERRED IN THE MANNER CONTEMPLATED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS AS SET FORTH IN THE CERTIFICATE OF
DESIGNATION OF PREFERENCES, RIGHTS AND LIMITATIONS OF SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK.

Agreement; No Violations. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Company, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except that such enforcement may be subject to the Enforceability
Exceptions. The issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock has been duly authorized by the Company. This Agreement, the issuance of the
Series A Preferred Stock and consummation of the Stock Purchase will not violate, conflict with or result in a breach of or default under
(a) the charter, bylaws or other organizational documents of the Company, (b) any agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party
or by which the Company or any of its assets are bound, or (c) any laws, regulations or governmental or judicial decrees, injunctions
or orders applicable to the Company.
