Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, the Company and Investor originally entered into a subscription agreement (“Original Subscription Agreement”) dated December 27, 2018 with respect to Investor’s purchase of common stock and a note, with warrant coverage.
WHEREAS, the Company and the Investor desire to amend the Original Subscription Agreement by entering into this Subscription Agreement (defined below) and a convertible promissory note (“Convertible Note”).

The undersigned (the “Investor”) hereby confirms its agreement with Arcimoto, Inc., an Oregon corporation (the “Company”), as follows:
1. This Subscription Agreement, including the Terms and Conditions for Purchase of Securities attached hereto as Annex A (collectively, this “Subscription Agreement”) is made as of the date set forth below between the Company and the Investor for the Investor’s purchase of shares of the Company’s common stock and a note, with warrant coverage, for an aggregate purchase price of $4.5 million (the “Aggregate Purchase Price”) and an additional purchase price of $500 thousand as set forth below.
2. Shares – The Company has authorized the sale and issuance to the Investor of 500,000 authorized and unissued shares (the “Shares”) of its common stock, no par value per share. The Investor will receive Shares at an offering price equal to $3.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $1.5 million (the “Share Purchase Price”).
3. Warrant – The Company has authorized the sale and issuance to the Investor of a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 942,857 authorized and unissued Shares. The warrant exercise price shall be equal to $3.50 per share for an aggregate exercise price of $3.3 million (the “Warrant Exercise Price”). The exercise period for the Warrant shall be three (3) years from the Closing Date (as defined in Section 3.1 of Annex A) (the “Exercise Period”). The Warrant shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.
4. Notes.
(a) $3,000,000 Note.
(i) The Company authorized the sale and issuance to the Investor of a note (the “Note”) in the aggregate amount of $3.0 million (the “Note Purchase Price”). In exchange for the Note Purchase Price paid by the Investor, the Company will sell and issue to the Investor the Note. Starting on the Closing Date, the Note shall accrue non-compounding interest on its unpaid principal balance at ten (10%) percent per annum. The Company shall pay to the Investor a minimum of one (1) year of interest. The Company shall pay the unpaid principal amount and accrued interest under the Note on the earlier of: (a) the Maturity Date; or (b) the Company’s Prepayment to the Investor, prior to the Maturity Date, of the full amount of principal and accrued interest on the Note.
(ii) As long as there is no existing Event of Default, the Company shall have the option to extend the Maturity Date to eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date by providing Investor with: (i) written notice within twelve (12) months of the Closing Date of Company’s intention to extend the Maturity Date and (ii) payment of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) as an additional fee (the “Maturity Date Extension Option”). Other than through the exercise of the Maturity Date Extension Option, the Company and Investor may only adjust or extend the Maturity Date by written agreement.
(iii) The Note shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, and secured by all of the Company’s assets pursuant to the terms of a security agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Security Agreement”), an intellectual property security agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “IP Security Agreement”), and a collateral assignment of lease agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Lease Collateral Assignment”).
(b) $500,000 Note.
(i) The Company authorized the sale and issuance to the Investor of a Convertible Note in the aggregate amount of $500 thousand (the “Convertible Note Purchase Price”). In exchange for the Convertible Note Purchase Price paid by the Investor, the Company will sell and issue to the Investor the Convertible Note. Starting on the Second Closing Date, the Convertible Note shall accrue interest, compounded monthly, on its unpaid principal balance at ten (10%) percent per annum until the earlier of (a) one (1) year from the Second Closing Date (“Second Maturity Date”) or (b) the conversion, solely at Investor’s option, of the principal and accrued interest of the Convertible Note into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price per share of $4.25.
(ii) The Note shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F, and secured by all of the Company’s assets pursuant to the terms of the Security Agreement, IP Security Agreement and Lease Collateral Assignment.
5. Seniority – Notwithstanding any provision in this Subscription Agreement to the contrary, the indebtedness evidenced by the Note and Convertible Note shall be senior in all respects to the liens, terms, covenants and conditions of all existing debt, except for the Permitted Senior Obligations. To the extent of any conflict or inconsistency between the other terms of this Subscription Agreement and this Section 5, the provisions of this Section 5 shall control. The Investor’s rights and remedies under this Subscription Agreement, the Note, the Convertible Note, the Security Agreement, the IP Security Agreement and the Lease Collateral Assignment shall be senior to the rights and remedies of any other lender except for the Permitted Senior Obligations.
6. Use of Proceeds – The proceeds from the sale and issuance of the Note, Convertible Note and the Warrant shall be used: (a) to provide working capital and funds for capital expenditures and general corporate purposes for the Company; and (b) to pay liabilities, fees, costs and expenses, including those incurred in the execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement and the Other Investor Agreements.

Full or partial Prepayments shall be allowed without any prepayment fee or penalty provided that by the time that the Note is paid in full, the Company shall have paid to the Investor a minimum interest payment of one (1) year’s interest.
B. Principal and interest on the Note shall be due and payable as follows:
