If the Holder does not exercise these Warrants in their entirety, Holder shall be entitled to receive from Fisker, on the date that the Net Payment Amount is delivered, new Warrants of like tenor in substantially identical form for the purchase of that number of Warrants equal to the difference between the number of Warrants provided for herein and the number of exercised Warrants.

No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of the rights under these Warrants. In lieu of any fractional share which the Holder would otherwise receive pursuant to this Section 3(b), Fisker shall make a cash payment equal to the closing price of a Share on the Trading Day immediately prior the Exercise Date multiplied by such fraction.

(c) Shares Issuance. The rights under these Warrants shall be deemed to have been exercised and any Shares to be issued upon such exercise shall be deemed to have been issued immediately prior to the close of business on the relevant Exercise Date, and the person entitled to receive the Shares issued upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such Shares as of the close of business on such date.

(d) Reservation of Shares. During the term the rights under these Warrants are exercisable, Fisker agrees to take all action necessary to reserve and keep available from its authorized and unissued Shares for the purpose of effecting the exercise of these Warrants such number of shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the exercise in full of the rights under these Warrants; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued Shares shall not be sufficient for purposes of the exercise of these Warrants in accordance with its terms, without limitation of such other remedies as may be available to the Holder, Fisker agrees to take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized and unissued Shares to a number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes. Fisker represents and warrants that all Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of these Warrants will, when issued in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all preemptive rights of any stockholder and free of all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

(e) Delivery of Net Payment Amount.

Any Shares to be delivered upon exercise hereof will be delivered in accordance with the instructions provided by the Holder in book-entry form, if then permitted by the rules of the Depositary Trust Company, otherwise in certificated form, subject to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything in these Warrants to the contrary, if the Shares issued upon exercise of these Warrants are delivered in book-entry form, any reference in these Warrants to any certificate evidencing such Shares shall be deemed to be a reference to the book entry for such Shares.

(f) Certain Expenses. Each of Fisker and the Holder shall pay all of its expenses in connection with the negotiation and exercise of these Warrants or the issue or delivery of the Net Payment Amount.

5. Restrictions on Transfer of the Warrants. Other than to one or more of its Affiliates, the Holder may not Transfer these Warrants without the prior written approval of Fisker. Any attempt to Transfer these Warrants by the Holder without such prior written approval of Fisker shall be void.

6. Compliance with Securities Laws. By acceptance of these Warrants, the Holder agrees to comply with the following:

(a) The Holder, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that these Warrants and any Shares that may be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired solely for the Holder’s own account, and not as a nominee for any other party, and for investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of these Warrants or any Shares that may be issued upon exercise hereof except pursuant to an effective registration statement, or an exemption from registration, under the Act and any applicable state securities laws.

(b) Except as provided in paragraph (c) below, these Warrants and all certificates representing Shares issued upon exercise hereof shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER.

(c) The restrictions imposed by this Section 6 upon the Transfer of these Warrants and any Shares issued upon exercise hereof shall terminate (A) when such securities shall have been effectively registered under the Act and sold by the holder thereof in accordance with such registration or sold under and pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Act, (B) if any Shares are delivered pursuant to Section 3(b), one year from the Issuance Date or (C) upon Fisker’s receipt of an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Fisker, addressed to Fisker to the effect that such restrictions are no longer required to ensure compliance with the Act. Whenever such restrictions shall cease and terminate as to any such securities, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive from Fisker (or its transfer agent and registrar), without expense (other than applicable transfer taxes, if any), new Warrants (or, in the case of Shares issued upon exercise of these Warrants already represented by stock certificates, new stock certificates or book entry shares) of like tenor not bearing the applicable legend required by paragraph (b) above relating to the Act and applicable state securities laws.

(d) Instructions Regarding Transfer Restrictions. The Holder consents to Fisker making a notation on its records and giving instructions to any transfer agent in order to implement the restrictions on transfer established in Section 5 and this Section 6.

7. Adjustments. Subject to the expiration of these Warrants pursuant to Section 8, the number and kind of shares purchasable hereunder and the Exercise Price therefor are subject to adjustment from time to time, as follows (provided, that, if more than one subsection of this Section is applicable to a single event, the subsection that produces the largest adjustment shall be applied, and no single event shall cause an adjustment under more than one subsection of this Section to the extent of any resulting duplication):

 

5


(a) Share Dividends; Subdivisions and Combinations. In case Fisker shall (i) pay a dividend on its Shares in Shares, (ii) subdivide its outstanding Shares or (iii) combine its outstanding Shares into a smaller number of shares, then, in such an event, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted proportionately so that the adjusted Exercise Price will bear the same relation to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to any such event as the total number of Shares outstanding immediately prior to any such event shall bear to the total number of Shares outstanding immediately after such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), (A) shall become effective retroactively immediately after the record date in the case of a share dividend or (B) shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination. The Exercise Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described herein. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this subsection (a), the number of Underlying Shares shall be adjusted to the number of Shares, calculated to the nearest one hundredth of a share, obtained by multiplying the number of Underlying Shares immediately prior to such adjustment upon the exercise of these Warrants by the Exercise Price in effect prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the new Exercise Price.

(b) Reorganizations. If at any time there shall be any reorganization, recapitalization, merger or consolidation (a “Reorganization”) involving Fisker (other than as otherwise provided for herein) in which the Shares are converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property, then, as a part of such Reorganization, lawful provision shall be made so that the Net Payment Amount that may be received upon exercise of the Warrants shall be equivalent to the dollar value of the consideration to which a holder of a number of Shares equal to the number of Underlying Shares would have been entitled to receive in such Reorganization minus the Exercise Price (and subject to the limitation in Section 3(a)(iii)), as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of Fisker or its successor. Fisker or its successor in such Reorganization shall have the right to satisfy any exercise after any such Reorganization, pursuant to Section 3(b) by delivery of any shares, other securities or other property in the proportion received by other holders of Shares pursuant to such Reorganization. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that in any Reorganization, the consideration payable consists of Shares of the successor that are listed on a national or international stock exchange, then the successor in such Reorganization may elect to assume these Warrants such that the Underlying Shares are such Shares of the successor, and adjust the number of the Underlying Shares and the Exercise Price proportionately such that the net value of these Warrants immediately after the Reorganization is equivalent to the net value of these Warrants immediately prior to such Reorganization (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of such successor) (and taking into account Section 3(a)(iii)). In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of Fisker or the successor) shall be made in the application of the provisions of these Warrants with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after such Reorganization.

(c) Reclassification. In case of any reclassification of the Shares (other than a change in par value of the Shares), the Underlying Shares after such reclassification shall be adjusted based upon the number of shares of stock or other securities to which a holder of the number of Shares equal to the number of Underlying Shares at the time of such reclassification would have been entitled to receive upon such reclassification, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of Fisker or its successor (provided that the exercise of these Warrants shall always be subject to the provisions of Section 3 hereof). The subdivision or combination of Shares at any time outstanding into a greater or lesser number of shares of Shares shall not be deemed to be a reclassification of the Shares of Fisker for the purposes of this subsection (c). In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of Fisker) shall be made in the application of the provisions of these Warrants with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after such reclassification, to the end that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be, in relation to any shares of stock or other securities thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof.

(d) Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted as herein provided, Fisker shall compute the adjusted Exercise Price in accordance with subsection (a) above and shall prepare a certificate signed by its principal financial officer or principal accounting officer setting forth the adjusted Exercise Price and showing in reasonable detail the method of such adjustment and the fact requiring the adjustment and upon which such calculation is based, and such certificate shall forthwith be forwarded to the Holder.

(e) Adjustments to Private Placement Warrants and Public Warrants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Holder will be entitled to the benefit of any adjustment on a most favored nation basis relative to the terms provided or applied to any holders of warrants (i) issued by Spartan to its sponsor in a private placement (the Private Placement Warrants”) simultaneously with the closing of Spartan’s initial public offering of units, on August 14, 2018 (the “IPO”) or (ii) sold as part of the units in the IPO (whether they were purchased in the IPO or thereafter in the open market) (the “Public Warrants”), so that the terms of this Section 7 will have terms no less favorable to the Holder than the terms of any outstading Private Placement Warrants and Public Warrants are to the holders thereof, as if the adjustment provisions in Section 4 of such Private Placement Warrants and Public Warrants were set forth herein, mutatis mutandis, and made by Fisker with reference to and for the purposes hereof.

8. Expiration of the Warrants. These Warrants shall expire and terminate and shall no longer be exercisable as of 5:00 p.m., Pacific time, on October 29, 2030 (such date, the “Expiration Date”). Nothing in this Section 8 shall limit any remedies of any party under the Cooperation Agreement in accordance with the terms, and subject to the limitations, thereof.

9. No Rights as a Stockholder. Nothing contained herein shall entitle the Holder to any rights as a stockholder of Fisker or to be deemed the holder of any securities that may at any time be issuable on the exercise of the rights hereunder for any purpose nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change of par value or change of stock to no par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or any other rights of a stockholder of Fisker, as such, in each case, until such time as, and to the extent, the Holder is deemed to be the holder of record of Shares issued upon exercise of these Warrants pursuant to Section 3(c).

(e) Compliance with Laws and Other Instruments. The execution, delivery and performance of these Warrants by Fisker and the offer, sale and issuance of these Warrants and the issuance of any Shares upon exercise hereof do not and will not conflict with, result in a violation of or default under (with or without the passage of time and/or the giving of notice), or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or to a loss of a material benefit under, (1) any provisions of Fisker’s Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws, (2) any instrument, judgment, order, writ or decree of any court or governmental authority applicable to Fisker or any of its subsidiaries or (3) any note, indenture, mortgage, lease, agreement, instrument or other contract to which Fisker or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Fisker or any of its subsidiaries is bound, except in the case of clauses (2) and (3) for such violations or defaults as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. As used in these Warrants, a “Material Adverse Effect” means a material adverse effect on the business, assets, liabilities, financial condition, property, results of operations or prospects of Fisker and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.

11. Representations and Warranties of the Holder. By acceptance of these Warrants, the Holder represents and warrants to Fisker as follows as of the Issuance Date and as of the Exercise Date:

(a) No Registration. The Holder understands that the Securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Act, the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Holder’s representations as expressed herein or otherwise made pursuant hereto.

(b) Investment Intent. The Holder is acquiring the Securities for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof. The Holder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in or otherwise distributing the Securities, nor does it have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement for the same.

(c) Investment Experience. The Holder has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in companies similar to Fisker and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters so that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in Fisker and protecting its own interests.

(d) Speculative Nature of Investment. The Holder understands and acknowledges that its investment in the Securities is highly speculative and involves substantial risks and the value of these Securities and the Underlying Shares will depend on Fisker’s overall financial performance.

(e) Access to Information. The Holder has had an opportunity to ask questions of officers of Fisker, which questions were answered to its satisfaction. The Holder believes that it has received all the information that it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to acquire the Securities. The Holder understands that any such discussions, as well as any information issued by Fisker, were intended to describe certain aspects of Fisker’s business and prospects, but were not necessarily a thorough or exhaustive description. The Holder acknowledges that any business plans prepared by Fisker have been, and continue to be, subject to change and that any projections included in such business plans or otherwise are necessarily speculative in nature, and it can be expected that some or all of the assumptions underlying the projections will not materialize or will vary significantly from actual results.

(f) Accredited Investor. The Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D, Rule 501(a), promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and agrees to submit to Fisker such further assurances of such status as may be reasonably requested by Fisker. The Holder has furnished or made available any and all information requested by Fisker or otherwise necessary to satisfy any applicable verification requirements as to “accredited investor” status. Any such information is true, correct, timely and complete.

(g) Residency. Holder’s principal place of business is in Ontario, Canada.

 

8


(h) Restrictions on Resales. The Holder acknowledges that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available or resold in a transaction that is not subject to the Act. The Holder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act, which permit resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, which may include, among other things: if applicable, the availability of certain current public information about Fisker and the resale occurring not less than a specified period after a party has purchased and paid for the security to be sold. The Holder acknowledges and understands that Fisker may not be satisfying the current public information requirement of Rule 144 at the time the Holder wishes to sell the Securities and that, in such event, the Holder may be precluded from selling the Securities under Rule 144 even if the other applicable requirements of Rule 144 have been satisfied.

(i) Brokers and Finders. The Holder has not engaged any brokers, finders or agents in connection with the Securities, and Fisker has not incurred nor will incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of any action taken by the Holder, any liability for brokerage or finders’ fees or agents’ commissions or any similar charges in connection with the Securities.

(j) Legal Counsel. The Holder has had the opportunity to review these Warrants, the exhibits attached hereto and any other documents contemplated hereby and the transactions contemplated by these Warrants with its own legal counsel. The Holder is not relying on any statements or representations of Fisker or its agents for legal advice with respect to this investment or the transactions contemplated by these Warrants, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein.

(k) Tax Advisors. The Holder has reviewed with its own tax advisors the U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by these Warrants. With respect to such matters, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, the Holder relies solely on any such advisors and not on any statements or representations of Fisker or any of its agents, written or oral. The Holder understands that it (and not Fisker) shall be responsible for its own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment and the transactions contemplated by these Warrants.

12. Miscellaneous.

(a) Further Assurances. Fisker will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation or through reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, sale of assets or any other voluntary action, intentionally avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of these Warrants, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder of these Warrants against impairment. Fisker will take all such commercially reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that any Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any national securities exchange upon which the Shares may be listed.

(b) Amendments. Except as expressly provided herein (including, without limitation, Section 3(c) and Sections 8(a) through (d)), neither these Warrants nor any term hereof may be amended or waived other than by a written instrument referencing these Warrants and signed by Fisker and the Holder.

(c) Waivers. No waiver of any single breach or default shall be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring.

(d) Survival. The provisions of Section 6 shall survive any exercise of these Warrants solely with respect to any Shares issued upon such exercise.

Each such notice or other communication shall for all purposes of these Warrants be treated as effective or having been given (i) if delivered by hand, messenger or courier service, when delivered (or if sent via a nationally-recognized overnight courier service, freight prepaid, specifying next-business-day delivery, one Business Day after deposit with the courier), (ii) if sent via mail, at the earlier of its receipt or five Business Days after the same has been deposited in a regularly-maintained receptacle for the deposit of the United States mail, addressed and mailed as aforesaid, or (iii) if sent by electronic mail, when sent (unless the sender receives a failure to deliver or other similar error message) if received prior to 5 p.m. on a business day in the place of receipt, otherwise on the next succeeding business day in the place of receipt.

(f) Governing Law. These Warrants and all actions arising out of or in connection with these Warrants shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of law provisions of New York, or of any other state, that would apply the laws of any other jurisdiction.

(g) Dispute Resolution. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Warrants or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by arbitration in New York, New York before three arbitrators. Within 15 days after the commencement of arbitration, each party shall select one person to act as arbitrator, and the two so selected shall select a third arbitrator within 30 days of the commencement of the arbitration. If the arbitrators selected by the parties are unable or fail to agree upon the third arbitrator within the allotted time, the third arbitrator shall be appointed by JAMS in accordance with its rules. All arbitrators shall serve as neutral, independent and impartial arbitrators. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction, provided that the foregoing shall not preclude Parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. The Parties agree that a party may bring claims only in its individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. Further, unless the Parties agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If applicable law precludes enforcement of any provisions of this Section 12(g) as to an individual claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from any arbitration and may be brought in court. The Parties acknowledge that the Warrants evidence transactions involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding Section 12(f) above, any arbitration conducted pursuant to the terms of the Warrants shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C., Secs. 1-16). The parties shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding and the award, including the hearing, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision.
