Re:      Series D Preferred Stock

Dear David Michery:

Reference is made to that Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 7, 2022 (as amended, the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) by and between Mullen Automotive Inc. (the “Company”) and the investors named therein, pursuant to which the Company irrevocably committed to effect the issuance of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series D Preferred Stock”) and warrants upon receipt of $45,000,000, which the undersigned has paid on June 12, 2023. As a result, pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company is irrevocably committed to issuing to the undersigned an aggregate of 104,166,662 shares of Series D Preferred Stock (the “Shares”).

As requested by the Company, the undersigned hereby agrees that, in lieu of the issuance and delivery by the Company of the Shares, the Company issue to the undersigned such number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) and pre-funded warrants in the form attached as Annex A, exercisable for such number of shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”), in each case as provided next to the name of the undersigned included on Schedule 1 hereto; provided, however, that such issuance of shares of Common Stock (including shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants) in lieu of shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall have the same effect as if the undersigned was issued the Shares and elected to convert the Shares into shares of Common Stock, including that the shares of Common Stock are registered for resale on the registration statement filed on Form S-3 (File No. 333- 269766) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 2023, and that Company’s counsel provides an opinion to the Company’s transfer agent that such Common Stock, when issued in accordance with this letter agreement, will be duly authorized, legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

Except provided in this letter agreement, all other terms and conditions in the Securities Purchase Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and this letter agreement shall be governed by all provisions thereof. This letter agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. This letter agreement may be executed in separate counterparts (including by electronic signature pages), each of which is deemed to be an original and all of which taken together constitute one and the same agreement.
