		13.1	The Employee may not, during the employment relationship and for a period of six months after the end

                                                           wholly devolve upon and be the property of the Company or shall be transferred to the Company if such transfer is necessary under
                                                           applicable statutory legislation. The same applies to similar creations that are not legally protected by patent, copyright or

		15.2	The Company shall by virtue of the employment relationship have an unrestricted, exclusive and gratuitous
right to exploit such intellectual property rights and creations. Such intellectual property rights and creations shall without exception
be deemed to have been created or developed in the course of the Employee’s employment if the exploitation of the right or creation

the right outside working hours or outside the Company’s premises.



 


		15.3	The Employee is not entitled to any separate compensation for the Company’s utilization of rights

    6

the month following the issuance of such notice.



 


		16.2	The Employee will be entitled to accelerated vesting of all options received in accordance with clause
5.4 and a salary compensation equal to 1,5 times base annual salary (which shall include the notice period) if:



 


		i.	the Employee is asked by the Company to terminate the employment, and provided that the Employee does
not dispute such termination, for any other reason than where the Employee (a) commits an act of gross misconduct or shows gross
breach of duty which can justify termination of the employment agreement with immediate effect according to applicable law; (b) commits
any serious breach or (after warning) repeated or continued material breach of the Employee’s obligations under the Contract; (c)
is guilty of fraud, dishonesty or conduct tending to bring the Employee or the Company into disrepute; (d) is declared bankrupt; (e) is
convicted of any criminal offence; or (f) reaches the Company’s retirement age, or

clause 16.2 i. (a) – (f) above, provided that the Employee must be available to work for the Company full time for a period of 12
months.



 


No severance payment
shall be paid and the Employee shall not be entitled to accelerated vesting of options if the Employee disputes the termination, retires
or terminates the employment.


 


If the Company terminates
this Contract and at the same time offers a new position in the Company in accordance with clause 16.3, the Employee shall not be entitled
to any accelerated vesting of options and salary compensation under this clause 16.2.


 


		16.3	If the Company wishes to change the Employee’s role’s content significantly and beyond what
lies within management’s prerogative, and therefore terminate this Contract at the same time as offering a new one, and the Employee
does not accept the new contract, with the result being that the employment relationship is either terminated by the Company or the Employee,
and provided that the Employee does not dispute such termination, the Employee shall be compensated with NOK 6 million, to be
paid with the last ordinary salary payment. Notice period and any other elements in the Employee’s package, such as bonus and holiday
pay, are included in this figure.



 


The Employee will
not lose the options already granted to him. These will vest and be exercised by the Employee as per the Employee’s stock option
letter and the Company’s Stock Option Plan. The Employee is allowed to exercise all vested options at any point in the two-year
exercise period. When the Employee exercises the options, he will subtract the NOK 6 million already paid in compensation from
the proceeds and pay this amount to the Company.


 






    7


     


    

 


Should the Company
choose to apply the non-compete part of this Contract, salary during the three months’ notice period and the additional six months
non-compete period will be paid to the Employee on a monthly basis. The six months of non-compete related salary are separate to the NOK
6 million compensation and are not to be subtracted from the proceeds of any sale of options the Employee might make.

possession, custody or control belonging to the Company, including but not limited to business cards, credit and charge cards, keys, security

held in the Employee’s possession relating to the business or affairs of the Company.



 


		16.5	Upon termination of employment, the Employee shall repay any debts to the Company, and release the Company
of any guarantee or security for loans or responsibilities on behalf of the Employee.



 


		17	Probationary period



 


		17.1	The Employee will initially serve a six months probationary period commencing on 1 January 2021.
If the Employee has been absent from his employment during the trial period, the Employer may extend the trial period by a period equal
to the length of the absence. An extension may only take place when the Employee has been notified in writing of the extension before
the end of the trial period. The right to extend the trial period shall not apply to absences caused by the Company. During the probationary
period the parties have a mutual right to terminate the employment by giving a one month’s written notice. This clause overrules
clause16.1.



 


		18	Garden leave



 


		18.1	If the Company or the Employee gives notice to terminate the Contract, the Employee agrees, subject to
the Company continuing to provide the Employee’s salary and contractual benefits (other than bonuses), that the Company may, immediately
following the date that the termination has been handed over, or at any time during the period of notice (three months) or any part of
such period, in its absolute discretion require the Employee (i) to perform only such duties as it may allocate to the Employee, (ii)
not to have any contact with customers, clients, suppliers, employees or member of the Company, (iii) not to attend any premises of the
Company, (iv) resign as a director or from any office of the Company, and / or (v) to take any accrued holiday and/or the Company may
appoint another person to perform the Employee’s responsibilities jointly and require the Employee to provide such handover and
transitional services as may be reasonably required.



 


		19	General



 


		19.1	This Contract of Employment including Annex 1 and Annex 2 attached hereto shall regulate all matters relating
to the Employee’s employment with the Company and shall, as from the Commencement Date, replace any and all former agreements or
arrangements between the Employee and the Company relating to the Employee’s employment with the Company. For the avoidance of doubt,
the terms of the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan of Pubco (the “Share Plan”) and any award agreement(s) in standard form (“Award
Agreement”) do not form part of this Contract and upon the termination of this Contract, the Employee shall not have any claims
for damages or compensation in relation to it (whether by way of damages, compensation for loss of employment or otherwise) in relation
to any equity or equity compensation, which will be governed by the terms of any applicable Share Plan and Award Agreement.



 






    8


     


    

 


		19.2	The Company will at payment of salary, bonus, allowances etc. withhold taxes, also related to taxable
benefits, from such payable compensations and pay the withheld taxes to appropriate authorities in accordance with statutory provisions.
The Employee acknowledges and agrees that any further tax liability on the Employee’s hand shall be carried solely by the Employee.



 


		19.3	The Employee acknowledges that the Employee has carefully read this Contract, has had an opportunity to
discuss it with advisors should so be desired, and understands all the terms and conditions therein.



 


		19.4	In respect of all issues not regulated by the terms of this Contract, statutory provisions shall prevail.



 


		19.5	If any provision of this Contract should be declared legally invalid or unenforceable by a competent court,
such declaration shall in no way effect the validity or enforceability of any other provision thereof, nor shall any such declaration
of legal invalidity or unenforceability operate to nullify or rescind this Contract, but shall only serve to render ineffective any such
provision declared legally invalid or unenforceable. In lieu thereof, there shall be added a provision as similar in terms to such illegal,
invalid and unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.



 


		19.6	This Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with Norwegian law, including any statutory
modification or re-enactment during the time the Contract being in force.
