Dear Michael:

This letter agreement (this “Agreement”) confirms the understanding you and Romeo Power, Inc. (“Romeo” or the “Company”) have reached concerning you transitioning, effective as of the date you sign this Agreement, from a full-time employee and officer of the Company to a part-time consultant through the end of calendar year 2021.

1.Cessation of Employment. You agree that you will cease to be an employee of the Company or any of its affiliates as of the date you deliver a signed copy of this Agreement to the CEO as provided below (“Employment Termination Date”).

(a)Execution and Effectiveness. For this Agreement to become effective, you must deliver a signed copy of this Agreement to Lionel Selwood, Jr., the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”), within 7 days of the date hereof. You may deliver the signed copy to the CEO in person, by overnight delivery or by e-mail. This Agreement shall become effective as of the date you deliver a signed copy to the CEO.

(b)Resignation from Positions and Waiver of Board Observer Rights. By signing this Agreement, you hereby (i) resign from all officer, director, or other positions that you may have held with the Company and its affiliates (including the board of the Company’s joint venture with BorgWarner) and (ii) irrevocably waive any and all observer rights with respect to the Board of Directors of the Company and any subcommittees thereof.

(c)Payments Due Upon Termination of Employment. By signing this Agreement, you acknowledge and agree that you have received on or prior to your Employment Termination Date, payment of the following: (i) all compensation owed you with respect to all time periods, up to and including the Employment Termination Date and (ii) reimbursement for all appropriate and documented business expenses incurred up to and including your Employment Termination Date pursuant to applicable Company policies and practices, and you represent that you have no unsubmitted business expenses.

(d)Employee Benefits; Severance. Your participation in all employee benefit plans, arrangements, perquisites or payments made by the Company on your behalf generally will cease shortly after your Employment Termination Date, after which you may be able to continue coverage under group health plans to the extent permitted under the federal Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986 and similar state laws (COBRA). Your rights and participation in all Company employee

benefit plans subject to ERISA, as a former employee, shall be governed by their terms, set forth in the applicable plan documents. You waive future coverage and benefits under all Company disability programs. In addition, you irrevocably waive any right to severance you might otherwise have had under your employment agreement with the Company, dated August 7, 2020.

(e)No Additional Claim for Compensation or Benefits. Except as specified in this Section 1, you acknowledge that you have received all compensation, including but not limited to base salary, severance, salary continuation, change in control benefits, paid time off and incentive compensation, and employee benefits due to you for services rendered before and as of the Employment Termination Date, and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, you will have no further claim for salary or other form of compensation, nor for any employment benefits, with respect to the period of your employment with the Company or any of its affiliates (or with respect to any other entity, to the extent such a claim ultimately could result in liability to the Company or any of its affiliates) on, before, or after the Employment Termination Date (other than with respect to any stock options you do now hold, which will continue to vest during your consultancy pursuant to Section 2, below). Romeo will take any action necessary to confirm the foregoing.

2.Post-Termination Consulting Services. You acknowledge and agree that:

(a)You will provide to Romeo and its affiliates consulting services after your Employment Termination Date with respect to such projects as requested by the CEO, in his sole and absolute discretion, which will include continuing to make introductions of customers and suppliers and providing strategic guidance as to sales of the Company’s products and services;

(b)In addition to the matters identified in Section 2(A), you agree to (a) maintain existing customer relationships, including developing multiple points of contact within Romeo and its affiliates, (b) assist in transitioning day-to-day operating responsibilities to senior managers or other executives (collectively, with the matters identified in Section 2(A), the “Consulting Services”);

(c)The Consulting Services are being provided by you as an independent contractor and not as an employee of Romeo or any of its affiliates; you are not and will not be an agent of Romeo or its affiliates; and, as of the Employment Termination Date, you have had no authority to make any representation, contract, or commitment on behalf of Romeo or its affiliates or otherwise bind Romeo or any of its affiliates and will not attempt to do so;

(d)You will have exclusive control over the means, manner, and methods by which the Consulting Services are performed, and you will provide all equipment, supplies, and materials at your own expense in performing the Consulting Services; provided, however, the Company shall reimburse you for reasonable third party documented out of pocket costs directly associated with your performance of the Consulting Services.

(e)You agree that you will perform the Consulting Services to the best of your ability in a professional manner consistent with the highest industry standards and the undivided duty of loyalty you owe to Romeo and its affiliates; in accordance with the highest standard of care with regard to such Consulting Services; and in accordance with all federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations which relate to or govern the activities contemplated by this Agreement;

(f)Your exclusive compensation for the Consulting Services shall be a monthly fee of $25,000.00, commencing on the day following the Employment Termination Date and ending on the Expiration Date, as defined in subsection (I) below, prorated for partial months; provided, however, that you and the Company hereby agree that your retention bonus letter, attached hereto as Exhibit A, is amended as of the date hereof to provide that, solely for the purposes of Exhibit A, you will be considered to be an active employee for the period you are performing Consulting Services;

(g)You understand and agree that, for the period you provide Consulting Services, Romeo is not classifying you as its employee and, therefore, you and any of your employees, agents and affiliated persons and entities will not be entitled to any of the benefits or rights that Romeo or its affiliates provides to individuals they classify as employees, including such things as seniority, vacations, paid holidays, bonuses, retirement benefits, health benefits or equity-related benefits. Romeo has not offered you any such benefits or rights as an employee with respect to your Consulting Services, and you agree that the consulting fee is based on the understanding that you will not receive any benefits from Romeo or its affiliates and that you would be unjustly enriched, were you to receive any such benefits. You therefore agree not to assert any claim against Romeo or any of its affiliates or entity for or with respect to such benefits;

(h)This Agreement is with you in your individual capacity and does not create any relationship with any entity you own in whole or part, nor does it create any obligation of Romeo or its affiliates to any individual or entity other than you.

(i)The date on which the Consulting Services expire or are otherwise terminated is referred to as the “Expiration Date.” This Consulting Services shall expire on December 31, 2021. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (a) Romeo may terminate the Consulting Services at any time for “Good Cause,” which means that Romeo would have had grounds to terminate you for “Cause“ under your employment agreement with Romeo, dated August 7, 2020 had you remained a Romeo employee through the Expiration Date. If your Consulting Services terminate at a time when the Company could have terminated the Consulting Services for Good Cause had it known all the relevant facts and circumstances, the termination of the Consulting Services shall be treated as having been for Good Cause.

3.Consideration. In consideration for your execution of this Agreement, the Company and you agree that the Company is entering into the Consulting Services arrangement described above as of your Employment Termination Date.

4.Taxes.     You understand and agree that the Company is in no way responsible for any income and/or other tax obligations owed by you in connection with this Agreement or otherwise, if any, and including but not limited to all reporting and payment obligations, if any, which may arise as a consequence of any payment under this Agreement or for any Consulting Services, and you agree that Romeo and its affiliates have no duty to try to prevent any adverse determination made as to the tax treatment of any such payments. You agree to indemnify and hold Romeo and its affiliates harmless from all such income and/or other tax obligations.

11.Severability. If any of the provisions, or portions thereof, of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable or invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions, or portions thereof, shall not be affected.
