SECTION 1:   DEFINITIONS

 

All terms defined in this Section 1 will, throughout
this Amendment, have the meanings given herein and capitalized terms not otherwise defined shall have the meaning in the Agreement. The
terms Cause, Cause, Change in Control, Good Reason, and Release in the Agreement are superseded by the definitions below.

 

	(a)	"Annual Incentive Plan" means the Company’s incentive plan pursuant to which annual
incentives are granted, including any successor plan thereto.

 

	(b)	"Base Salary" means on the date of determination, the annual base salary then in effect
for Employee (but not less than the highest annual base salary paid to Employee during any of the three (3) years immediately preceding
the date of Employee’s Qualifying Termination).

 

	(c)	"Bonus" means the annual incentive amount payable to Employee, if any, under the Annual
Incentive Plan.

 

	(d)	“Cause” as determined in the reasonable judgment of the Company, means the Employee's
(i) commission of any felony or any crime involving moral turpitude or dishonesty; (ii) participation in a fraud against the Company or
any Affiliate; (iii) willful and material breach of Employee’s duties that has not been cured within thirty (30) days after written
notice from the Company of such breach; (iv) intentional and material damage to the Company’s or any Affiliate’s property;
(v) material violation of Company or its Affiliate’s policy or (vi) material breach by Employee of his/her Employee Proprietary
Information and Inventions Assignment.

 

Employee will not be deemed to have
been terminated for Cause unless and until there has been delivered to Employee written notice that Employee has engaged in conduct constituting
Cause. The determination of Cause will be made by Company’s Organization and Compensation Committee.

 

    

     

    

 

	(e)	"Change in Control" means the first of the following to occur: (i) a Change in Ownership
of the Company, (ii) a Change in Effective Control of the Company, or (iii) a Change in the Ownership of Assets of the Company,
as described herein and construed in accordance with Code section 409A.

 

		(i)	A “Change in Ownership of the Company” shall
occur on the date that any one Person acquires, or Persons Acting as a Group acquire, ownership of the capital stock of the Company that,
together with the stock held by such Person or Group, constitutes more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of
the capital stock of the Company. However, if any one Person is, or Persons Acting as a Group are, considered to own more than 50%, on
a fully diluted basis, of the total fair market value or total voting power of the capital stock of the Company, the acquisition of additional
stock by the same Person or Persons Acting as a Group is not considered to cause a Change in Ownership of the Company or to cause a Change
in Effective Control of The Company (as described below). An increase in the percentage of capital stock owned by any one Person, or Persons
Acting as a Group, as a result of a transaction in which the Company acquires its stock in exchange for property will be treated as an
acquisition of stock.

 

		(ii)	A “Change in Effective Control of the Company”
shall occur on the date either (A) a majority of members of the Company’ Board is replaced during any 12-month period by directors
whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Company’ Board before the date of the appointment
or election, or (B) any one Person, or Persons Acting as a Group, acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on
the date of the most recent acquisition by such Person or Persons) ownership of stock of the Company possessing 50% or more of the total
voting power of the stock of the Company.

 

		(iii)	A “Change in the Ownership of Assets of the Company”
shall occur on the date that any one Person acquires, or Persons Acting as a Group acquire (or has or have acquired during the 12-month
period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such Person or Persons), assets from the Company that have a total gross fair
market value equal to or more than 50% of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately before such
acquisition or acquisitions. For this purpose, gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the Company, or the value of the
assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets.

 

		(iv)	The following rules of construction apply in interpreting the definition of Change in Control:

 

		(A)	A “Person” means any individual, entity or group within the meaning of
                                                                Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, other than employee benefit plans sponsored or
                                                                maintained by the Company and by entities controlled by the Company or an underwriter, initial purchaser or placement agent
                                                                temporarily holding the capital stock of the Company pursuant
to a registered public offering.

		(B)	Persons will be considered to be Persons Acting as a Group (or Group) if they are owners of a corporation
that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the corporation. If a
Person owns stock in both corporations that enter into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar transaction,
such shareholder is considered to be acting as a Group with other shareholders only with respect to the ownership in that corporation
before the transaction giving rise to the change and not with respect to the ownership interest in the other corporation. Persons will
not be considered to be acting as a Group solely because they purchase assets of the same corporation at the same time or purchase or
own stock of the same corporation at the same time, or as a result of the same public offering.

 

		(C)	A Change in Control shall not include a transfer to a related person as described in Code section 409A
or a public offering of capital stock of the Company.

 

		(D)	For purposes of the definition of Change in Control, Section 318(a) of the Code applies to determine
stock ownership. Stock underlying a vested option is considered owned by the individual who holds the vested option (and the stock underlying
an unvested option is not considered owned by the individual who holds the unvested option). For purposes of the preceding sentence, however,
if a vested option is exercisable for stock that is not substantially vested (as defined by Treasury Regulation §1.83-3(b) and
(j)), the stock underlying the option is not treated as owned by the individual who holds the option.

 

(f)       Code"
means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

(g)       Company"
means NuScale Power Corporation, and any successor thereto which assumes and agrees to perform this Amendment by operation of law, or
otherwise.

 

(h)       "Compensation"
means the greater of (a) the sum of Employee’s Base Salary plus Target Bonus determined immediately prior to the date on
which a Change in Control occurs, or (b) the sum of Employee’s Base Salary plus Target Bonus determined immediately prior to the
date of the Qualifying Termination.

 

(i)       "Compensation
Committee" means the Organization and Compensation Committee of the Board.

 

(j)       "Equity
Plan" means any equity-compensation plan maintained by the Company or a Subsidiary under which Employee received equity-based
awards, such as stock options, restricted stock units, performance units or restricted stock.

(k)
        "Good Reason" means the Employee terminates his or her employment with
the Company or any Affiliate because, within the six (6) month period preceding the Employee's termination, one or more of the
following conditions arose and the Employee notified the Company of such condition within 90 days of its occurrence and the Company
did not remedy such condition within 30 days:

 

		(i)	a material diminution of Employee’s aggregate compensation (including, without limitation, Base
Salary, annual bonus opportunity, and equity incentive compensation opportunities) (other than a Base Salary or annual bonus opportunity
reduction of not more than 20% applicable to all similarly situated employees);

 

		(ii)	a material diminution of Employee’s authority, duties or responsibilities; or

 

		(iii)	any other action or inaction that constitutes a material breach by the Company of the agreement under
which Employee provides services (e.g., failure of successor to assume this Amendment or breach of same);

 

(l)       "IRS"
means the Internal Revenue Service.

 

(m)       “Qualifying

in Control occurs by reason of (a) Employee’s involuntary termination of employment without Cause or (b) Employee’s resignation
from employment for Good Reason.

of its equity securities.

respect to which the target bonus amount is being determined or, if no such plan is then in effect, for the last year in which such a
plan was in effect.

and Release" means a legal document, substantially in the form attached hereto as Attachment A, in which Employee, in
exchange for severance benefits described in Section 2, among other things, releases the Company, its Subsidiaries and their Affiliates,
their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, and their respective employee benefit plans and the fiduciaries and agents
of said plans from liability and damages in any way related to Employee’s employment with or separation from the Company.

of Control, or (ii) equal to Employee’s Compensation for a Qualifying Termination Not Involving Change of Control. Such cash severance
payment will be paid by the sixtieth (60th) day following Employee’s Qualifying Termination, but only if the Waiver and Release
described in Section 2(i) has been timely executed and returned and the Waiver and Release Revocation Period has expired.

 

	(b)	Accrued Obligations: Employee will be entitled to payment of all accrued Base Salary, accrued time
off and any other accrued and unpaid obligations as of the date of the Qualifying Termination. Such accrued obligations will be paid in

	(d)	Welfare Benefit Coverage: Employee will be entitled to continuation of Welfare Benefit Coverage
on the same basis as other active Company executives for Employee and his or her eligible dependents for a period of 18 months. Employee
and his or her covered dependents, if any, will be required to pay on an after-tax basis that portion of the premium cost paid by similarly
situated executives for active employee coverage to retain such coverages and the Company paid portion of the premium for such coverages
will be imputed as income and reported as wages to Employee. In all other respects Employee and his or her dependents will be treated
the same as other participants under the terms of such plans. The Welfare Benefit Coverage provided to Employee and his or her dependents
pursuant to this Section 2(d) will be in addition to any continued coverage Employee and such dependents are entitled to elect under the
Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended ("COBRA"), and Employee and such dependents will be
provided with notice of their COBRA rights.

 

	(e)	Outplacement: Employee will be entitled to reimbursement of any expenses reasonably incurred by
Employee during the twelve (12) month period following Employee’s Qualifying Termination for outplacement services in an amount
up to twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000). Reimbursement of such expenses will be made upon Employee’s substantiation of such
outplacement expenses; provided, however, that in no event will reimbursement be made later than March 15 of the year following
the year in which Employee incurs the substantiated expenses.

 

	(f)	Payment of Legal Expenses. Employee will be entitled to reimbursement of any legal expenses reasonably
incurred by Employee in order to obtain benefits under this Amendment; provided, that, the payment of such expenses is subject to an arms-length,
bona fide dispute as to Employee's right to such benefits. Such reimbursements will be made on a regular, periodic basis upon Employee’s
substantiation of such legal expenses; provided, however, that in no event will reimbursement be made later than March 15 of the
year following the year in which Employee incurs the expenses unless Employee is a “Specified Employee” within the meaning
of section 409A of the Code and it is determined that reimbursement of such expenses is being made by reason of Employee’s "Separation
from Service" (within the meaning of section 409A of the Code and Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h)(3) (or any successor regulations
or guidance thereto) in which case reimbursement of such expenses will not be made before the day that is six (6) months and one (1) day
following Employee’s Separation from Service. The amount of legal expenses eligible for reimbursement under this Section 2(f) during
a taxable year may not affect the legal expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year and the right to reimbursement under
this Section 2(f) is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

 

The pendency of
a claim by the Company that a claim or defense of Employee is frivolous or otherwise lacking merit will not excuse the Company from
making periodic payments of legal expenses pursuant to this Section 2(f) until a final determination is made regarding the validity
of Employee’s claim. In the event that a final determination is made that a claim asserted by Employee was frivolous, the
portion of such expenses incurred by Employee as a result of such frivolous claim will become Employee’s sole responsibility
and any funds advanced by the Company will be repaid to the Company. Any failure by the Company to satisfy any of its obligations
under this Section 2(f) will not limit the rights of Employee hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, Employee will have the status of
a general unsecured creditor of the Company and will have no right to, or security interest in, any assets of the Company or any
Subsidiary or Affiliate.

	(g)	Equity Compensation Adjustments.

 

		(i)	For a upon a Qualifying Termination in conjunction with a Change in Control, if the successor fails to
assume the Equity Plan: (i) any equity-based compensation awards, other than performance-based equity awards, granted to Employee
by the Company under an Equity Plan prior to such termination that are outstanding will, to the extent that the terms of the Equity Plan
and its associated award agreements do not provide for the immediate vesting, exercisability and/or settlement of such awards, fully vest,
and (ii) any performance-based equity awards will be paid to Employee at 100% of the target value for such bonus.

 

		(ii)	For a Qualifying Termination Not Involving Change of Control: (i) any equity-based compensation awards,
other than performance-based equity awards, granted to Employee by the Company under an Equity Plan prior to such termination that are
outstanding will, to the extent that the terms of the Equity Plan and its associated award agreements do not provide for the immediate
vesting, exercisability and/or settlement of such awards, continue to vest and become exercisable or settled pursuant to the existing
vesting schedule as if Employee was still employed, subject to the requirements of section 409A of the Code to the extent applicable,
and (ii) any performance-based equity awards will, to the extent the applicable performance criteria are met, be earned at 100% of the
target value on a pro rata basis based on the number of full months worked by Employee for the Company during the applicable performance
period and the number of months in the applicable performance period and will be settled at the time and in the same manner specified
in the Equity Plan. Employee will not be entitled to any new-equity based compensation awards following the date of his or her Qualifying
Termination.

 

	(h)	Retention Awards. If the successor fails to assume responsibility for the retention awards, upon
a Qualifying Termination any outstanding retention awards granted to Employee which are outstanding will become immediately vested and
settled pursuant to their terms, subject to the requirements of section 409A of the Code, to the extent applicable.

 

	(i)	Waiver and Release Requirement. Payment of the benefits under this Section 3 is subject to Employee’s
timely execution and return of the Waiver and Release to the Company, without subsequent revocation during the seven (7)-day period following
such execution date (the "Waiver and Release Revocation Period"), as provided in this Section 3(i). Employee will have
fifty (50) days following (i) his or her Qualifying Termination date to consider, execute and return the Waiver and Release to the Company
and will then have the right to revoke the Waiver and Release during the Waiver and Release Revocation Period. If Employee fails to timely
execute and return the Waiver and Release to the Company or revokes such Waiver and Release during the Waiver and Release Revocation Period,
then Employee will forfeit, and will not be entitled to, any of the benefits described in this Section 3 (other than the amounts described
in Section 3(b)).

SECTION 4:  TARGET BONUS PAYMENT, RETENTION AWARDS
AND EQUITY CASHOUT

 

In the event that the successor to the Company
does not assume the Annual Incentive Plan, and irrespective of whether Employee incurs a Qualifying Termination, Employee will be entitled
to receive a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to the Target Bonus in effect at the time of the Change in Control, subject to applicable
withholding for income and employment taxes. Such Target Bonus will be paid within five (5) business days following the date of the Change
in Control. In the event the successor to the Company does not assume any outstanding retention awards as of the date of the Change in
Control, then such awards will become immediately fully vested and settled at the time of such Change in Control, subject to the requirements
of section 409A of the Code to the extent applicable. In the event the successor to the Company does not assume the Equity Plan or grant
comparable awards in substitution of the outstanding awards under the Equity Plan as of the date of the Change in Control, then any equity-based
compensation awards granted to Employee by the Company under Equity Plan and outstanding as of the date of the Change in Control, other
than performance-based equity awards, will become immediately fully vested and/or exercisable and will no longer be subject to a substantial
risk of forfeiture or restrictions on transferability, other than those imposed by applicable legislative or regulatory requirements,
including the provisions of section 409A of the Code to the extent applicable. In the event the successor to the Company does not assume
any outstanding retention awards as of the date of the Change in Control any performance-based equity compensation awards granted to Employee
by the Company under the Equity Plan and outstanding as of the date of the Change in Control will become fully vested at a rate determined
under the Equity Plan as if the target performance measures were met and will be settled at the time of such Change in Control, subject
to applicable legislative or regulatory requirements, including the provisions of section 409A of the Code to the extent applicable.

 

SECTION 5:   SECTION 280G

 

	(a)	Adjustment for 280G Excise Tax. In the event payments to Employee pursuant
to this Amendment (when considered with all other payments made to Employee as a result of a Change in Control that are subject to section
280G of the Code) (the amount of all such payments, collectively, the "Parachute Payment")
results in Employee becoming liable for the payment of any excise taxes pursuant to section 4999 of the Code, together with any interest
or penalties with respect to such excise tax ("280G Excise Tax"), then the Company
will automatically reduce (the “Reduction”) Employee’s Parachute Payment to
the minimum extent necessary to prevent the Parachute Payment (after the Reduction) from being subject to the Excise Tax, but only if,
by reason of the Reduction, the after-tax benefit of the reduced Parachute Payment exceeds the after-tax benefit if such Reduction were
not made. If the after-tax benefit of the reduced Parachute Payment does not exceed the after-tax benefit if the Parachute Payment is
not reduced, then the Reduction will not apply. If the Reduction is applicable, the Parachute Payment will be reduced in such a manner
that provides Employee with the best economic benefit and, to the extent any portions of the Parachute Payment are economically equivalent
with each other, each will be reduced pro rata. 

 

	(b)	Determination of Adjustment. All determinations required to be made under Section 4(a), including
the after-tax benefit and calculation of the Reduction, will be made by a nationally recognized certified public accounting firm that
is selected by the Company (the “Accounting Firm”), which may be the Company’s independent auditors. In the event
that the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change in Control
or the Accounting Firm declines or is unable to serve, Employee will appoint another nationally recognized certified public accounting
firm, which is reasonably agreed to by the Company, to make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm will then be
referred to as the Accounting Firm hereunder). In the event that the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by Employee,
either with or without application of the Reduction under Section 4(a), then the Accounting Firm will furnish Employee with a written
opinion that failure to report the Excise Tax on Employee’s applicable federal income tax return would not result in the imposition
of a negligence or similar penalty. If the Reduction is applicable, the Company will provide Employee with a written summary of the portions
of the Parachute Payment that will be reduced. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm will be borne solely by the Company. All determinations
by the Accounting Firm made under this Section 4(b) will be binding upon the Company and Employee.

SECTION 6:   INDEMNIFICATION

BY LAW, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS EXECUTIVE FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, COSTS AND DAMAGES ARISING FROM EXECUTIVE’S
SERVICE AS AN EMPLOYEE, OFFICER OR DIRECTOR OF THE COMPANY OR ITS AFFILIATES, SPECIFICALLY INCLUDING LIABILITY, COSTS AND DAMAGES THAT
ARISE IN WHOLE OR IN PART FROM ANY NEGLIGENCE OR ALLEGED NEGLIGENCE OF EXECUTIVE, EXCEPT, HOWEVER, TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH LIABILITY,
COST OR DAMAGE RESULTED FROM AN ACT OR OMISSION BY EXECUTIVE THAT CONSTITUTES GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT ON EXECUTIVE’S
PART. The Company will provide directors' and officers' liability insurance that will cover Employee's actions in the course and scope
of Employee’s duties on behalf of the Company or its Affiliates as well as any contractual indemnification provided to other executives
at his or her level at any given time. To the fullest extent permitted by Oregon law, in connection with any litigation or proceeding
related to Employee's actions in the course and scope of Employee’s duties on behalf of the Company or its Affiliates, the Company
will either (a) retain counsel to defend Employee or (b) reimburse Employee for legal fees and expenses for counsel selected by Employee,
twenty (20) days after receipt by the Company of a written request for reimbursement, which request will include an itemized list of the
fees and expenses incurred. Before the Company retains counsel or reimburses Employee under this Section 5, Employee must agree in writing
in a form acceptable to the Company to reimburse the Company for all amounts paid under this Section 5 if it is ultimately determined
that Employee is not entitled to be indemnified for such fees and expenses. This Section 5 will be in addition to, and will not limit
in any way, the rights of Employee to any other indemnification from the Company, as a matter of law, contract or otherwise.

 

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, the Company’s
indemnification and hold harmless obligations hereunder will not apply to the extent Employee is required to repay any amounts to the
Company pursuant to federal legislation (including Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) or a generally applicable clawback
policy adopted by the Company.

areas in which Employee performed duties on behalf of the Company or about which Employee possessed Confidential Information during the
twelve (12) months prior to Employee’s Qualifying Termination.

 

	(d)	Non-disparagement. Employee agrees that Employee will not disparage the Company, the Board, the
Company’s executives, the Company’s employees and the Company’s products or services during the term of this Amendment
and thereafter. The Company likewise agrees that it will not disparage Employee during the term of this Amendment and thereafter. For
purposes of this Section 8(d), disparagement does not include (i) compliance with legal process or subpoenas to the extent only truthful
statements are rendered in such compliance attempt, (ii) statements in response to an inquiry from a court or regulatory body, or (iii)
statements or comments in rebuttal of media stories.

 

	(e)	Forfeiture Provision. If Employee violates any of the covenants and restrictions contained in this
Section 8 or the confidentiality provisions of Section 6, Employee must pay to the Company the full amount of the severance benefits received
by Employee pursuant to Section 2 (other than Section 2(b)) or such lesser amount as determined to be the maximum reasonable and enforceable
amount by a court or arbitrator. The provisions of this Section 8(e) are in addition to any forfeiture provisions of other Company plans,
programs or agreements applicable to Employee. Employee specifically recognizes and affirms that this Section 8 is a material part of
this Amendment without which the Company would not have entered into this Amendment. Employee further covenants and agrees that if all
or any part or application of this Section 8 is held or found invalid or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever by a court of competent
jurisdiction or arbitrator in an action between Employee and the Company, then Employee will promptly pay to the Company the amount of
the severance benefits received by Employee pursuant to Section 2, or such lesser amount as is determined to be the maximum reasonable
and enforceable amount by a court or arbitrator, as applicable.

 

	(f)	Reasonableness of Restrictions. Employee acknowledges that these restrictive covenants under this
Amendment, for which Employee received valuable consideration from the Company as provided in this Amendment, including, but not limited
to the Company’s agreement to provide Employee with Confidential Information regarding the Company and the Company’s business
are ancillary to otherwise enforceable provisions of this Amendment that the consideration provided by the Company gives rise to the Company’s
interest in restraining Employee from competing and that the restrictive covenants are designed to enforce Employee’s consideration
or return promises under this Amendment. Additionally, Employee acknowledges that these restrictive covenants contain limitations as to
time, geographical area, and scope of activity to be restrained that are reasonable and do not impose a greater restraint than is necessary
to protect the goodwill or other legitimate business interests of the Company, including, but not limited to, the Company’s need
to protect its Confidential Information.

 

    - 11 -

     

    

 

	(g)	Enforcement and Remedies. Should a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator find that the
restrictive covenants are unreasonable, Employee and the Company agree that the court or arbitrator will revise the restrictive covenants
to restrict Employee’s activities for the maximum period, scope or geographic area permitted by law. Because Employee’s services
are unique and due to Employee’s receipt of the Confidential Information, Employee and the Company agree that the Company would
suffer imminent, irreparable harm from a breach of this Section 8 as well as the non-disclosure provisions of Section 6 and monetary damages
would not provide an adequate remedy for a breach of Sections 6 and 8. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach, the Company
is entitled to specific performance, injunctive relief and/or equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in order to enforce
this Amendment and prevent a breach of Sections 6 and 8 of this Amendment.

 

SECTION 10: CONFLICTS WITH OTHER AGREEMENTS

 

In the event that Employee becomes entitled to
benefits under a subsequent agreement pertaining to Employee’s employment by the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate (other than
this Amendment) or the benefits to which Employee is entitled as a result of such employment and such benefits conflict with the terms
of this Amendment and the subsequent agreement does not expressly supersede all prior agreements, Employee will receive the greater and
more favorable of each of the benefits provided under either this Amendment and the Agreement or such other agreement or benefits, on
an individual benefit basis, provided, however, that any such other conflicting payment is payable under its terms in the same
calendar year and in the same form as the corresponding benefit payable under this Amendment.

 

SECTION 11: NOTICES

 

For purposes of this Amendment, notices and all
other communications provided for herein will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered or when
mailed by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

 

	 	If to Company:	NuScale Power

or to such other address as either party may furnish

    - 12 -

     

    

 

SECTION 12: LITIGATION ASSISTANCE

 

Employee agrees to assist the Company with
any litigation matters related to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates as may be reasonably requested by the
Company’s Chief Legal Officer following the date of Employee’s Qualifying Termination. The Company will reimburse
Employee for any reasonable travel or other business expenses incurred in connection with providing such assistance and cooperation.
Employee will provide such services as an independent contractor and such services will be limited solely to those matters with
which Employee is suitably experienced and knowledgeable by reason of Employee’s education, training, background and prior
employment with the Company. The Company and Employee agree to work out reasonable accommodations for the provision of such
assistance so that it does not unreasonably interfere with any of Employee’s personal affairs, business endeavors or future
employment. The Company and Employee agree that the services provided by Employee under this Section 11, if any, will not exceed
twenty percent (20%) of the average level of bona fide services performed by Employee (whether as an employee or an independent
contractor of the Company) over the thirty-six (36) month period (or the full period of services to the Company if Employee has been
providing services to the Company for less than thirty-six (36) months) immediately preceding Employee’s Qualifying
Termination date.

 

SECTION 13: PRIOR AGREEMENTS/MODIFICATION

 

This Amendment contains the entire agreement between
the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements or understandings, whether written or oral,
between the parties with respect thereto. This Amendment may be amended by an agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto; provided,
however, that, in addition, (i) Employee’s Compensation may be increased at any time by the Company without in any way affecting
any of the other terms and conditions of this Amendment which in all other respects will remain in full force and effect, (ii) the Company
may amend this Amendment upon written notice to Employee in order to comply with or minimize the adverse impact of changes in the law
(including, without limitation, the avoidance of new regulatory requirements applicable to welfare benefits), provided that the economic
benefits of this Amendment as so amended are maintained to the extent reasonably practicable and (iii) the Company may amend this Amendment
without the consent of Employee upon written notice to Employee, provided that the amendment is not effective until at least one year
after it is communicated to Employee and a Change in Control has not occurred prior to the effective date of the amendment. The provisions
of this Amendment will be binding upon, and will inure to the benefit of, the respective heirs, legal representatives and successors of
the parties hereto. Employee represents to the Company that he or she is not a party to any agreement or subject to any legal restriction
that would prevent him or her from fulfilling his or her duties hereunder.

 

SECTION 14: SECTION 409A

 

It is the intent of the parties that the provisions
of this Amendment comply with, or satisfy an exemption from, section 409A of the Code, as specified below. Accordingly, the parties intend
that this Amendment be interpreted and operated consistent with such requirements of section 409A in order to avoid the application of
penalty taxes under section 409A to the extent reasonably practicable. The Company will neither cause nor permit: (a) any payment, benefit
or consideration to be substituted for a benefit that is payable under this Amendment if such action would result in the failure of any
amount that is subject to section 409A of the Code to comply with the applicable requirements of section 409A of the Code; or (b) any
adjustments to any equity interest to be made in a manner that would result in the equity interest becoming subject to section 409A of
the Code unless, after such adjustment, the equity interest is in compliance with the requirements of section 409A of the Code to the
extent applicable.

 

    - 13 -

     

    

 

Notwithstanding any provision of the
Agreement and this Amendment to the contrary, if Employee is a “Specified Employee” within the meaning of section 409A
of the Code as of Employee’s Qualifying Termination date, then any amounts or benefits which are payable under this Amendment
upon Employee’s "Separation from Service" (within the meaning of section 409A), other than due to death, which are
subject to the provisions of section 409A and not otherwise excluded under section 409A, and would otherwise be payable during the
first six (6)-month period following such Separation from Service, will be paid on the day that is (a) six (6) months and one (1)
day after the date after Employee’s Qualifying Termination date or (b) follows Employee’s date of death, if earlier.

 

The cash severance benefits in Section 2(a), the
accrued obligations under Section 2(b), the pro-rata earned bonus under Section 2(c), the welfare benefit coverage under Section 2(d),
the outplacement services under Section 2(e) and the Target Bonus payout under Section 3 are excluded from section 409A. The legal expense
provision under Section 2(f) (and the welfare benefit coverage under Section 2(d) if deemed to be subject to section 409A) are intended
to qualify as eligible reimbursement arrangements under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv) and will be reimbursed in accordance
with the requirements of such regulation such that any reimbursements will be deemed payable at a specified time or on a fixed schedule
relative to a permissible payment event. The equity compensation provided pursuant to Section 2(g) and retention awards provided pursuant
to Section 2(h) are subject to section 409A of the Code to the extent provided under the applicable Equity Plan or retention award agreement,
as applicable.

 

SECTION 15: APPLICABLE LAW

 

The validity, interpretation, construction and
performance of this Amendment will be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Delaware, including
the Oregon statute of limitations, but without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws of such State.

 

SECTION 16: SEVERABILITY

 

If a court of competent jurisdiction determines
that any provision of this Amendment is invalid or unenforceable, then the invalidity or unenforceability of that provision will not affect
the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Amendment and all other provisions will remain in full force and effect.

 

SECTION 17: WITHHOLDING OF TAXES

 

The Company may withhold from any benefits payable
under this Amendment all federal, state, city or other taxes as may be required pursuant to any law or governmental regulation or ruling.

 

SECTION 18: NO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

Nothing in this Amendment changes the at will
nature of Employee’s employment, nor will it give Employee any rights to (or impose any obligations for) continued employment by
the Company (or any Affiliate or Subsidiary) or successor thereto, nor will it give the Company any rights (or impose any obligations)
with respect to continued performance of duties by Employee for the Company (or any Affiliate or Subsidiary) or successor thereto.

 

SECTION 19: NO ASSIGNMENT

 

Employee’s right to receive payments
or benefits hereunder will not be assignable or transferable, whether by pledge, creation of a security interest or otherwise,
whether voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, other than a transfer by will or by the laws of descent or
distribution, and in the event of any attempted assignment or transfer contrary to this Section 18, the Company will have no
liability to pay any amount so attempted to be assigned or transferred.

 

    - 14 -

     

    

 

SECTION 20: SUCCESSORS

 

This Amendment will inure to the benefit of and
be enforceable by Employee’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees
and legatees.

 

This Amendment will be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any company into or with which the Company may
merge or consolidate). The Company agrees that it will not effectuate the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of its
assets unless either (a) the person or entity acquiring such assets or a substantial portion thereof will expressly assume by an instrument
in writing all duties and obligations of the Company hereunder or (b) the Company will provide, through the establishment of a separate
reserve therefor, for the payment in full of all amounts which are or may reasonably be expected to become payable to Employee hereunder.

 

SECTION 21: DEATH

 

In the event of Employee’s
death while employed hereunder, Employee’s beneficiary (or such other person(s) specified by will, Employee estate planning documents,
or applicable laws of descent and distribution) shall receive a lump sum payment within forty-five (45) days of Employee's death equal
to (i) any earned and unpaid Base Salary, (ii) Employee's accrued and unused vacation, and (iii) Employee's Annual Incentive Bonus to
which Employee would have been entitled if target performance had been achieved, prorated to the date of Employee’s death. In addition,
the Company shall pay 100% of the COBRA premium for up to 18 months of continuation coverage under the Company's group health plan for
the Employee's surviving spouse and any dependent children, provided they were covered under the Company's group health plan on the date
of Employee's death and timely elect COBRA continuation coverage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the COBRA subsidy shall terminate and
the Company shall have no further obligation upon the earlier of (i) the date COBRA coverage terminates, and (ii) the date such subsidy
may, in the Company's discretion, violate the nondiscrimination rules of or result in the imposition of penalties under the Affordable
Care Act and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder or any other applicable law. Any options granted to Employee pursuant
to an Equity Incentive Plan shall, in the event of Employee’s death while employed, be transferred to Employee’s beneficiary
(or such other person(s) specified by will, Employee estate planning documents, or applicable laws of descent and distribution). The Equity
Incentive Plan then in effect will control when and whether such options have vested and whether and how they may be exercised.

 

SECTION 22: PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE

 

Except for the requirement of Employee to execute
and return to the Company a Waiver and Release in accordance with Section 2, the Company’s obligation to pay (or cause one of its
Affiliates or Subsidiaries to pay) Employee the amounts and to make the arrangements provided herein will be absolute and unconditional
and will not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, any set off, counter claim, recoupment, defense or other
right which the Company (including its Affiliates and Subsidiaries) may have against Employee or anyone else.

 

    - 15 -

     

    

 

All amounts payable by the Company (including
its Affiliates and Subsidiaries hereunder) will be paid without notice or demand. Employee will not be obligated to seek other employment
in mitigation of the amounts payable or arrangements made under any provision of this Amendment, and, subject to the restrictions in Section
8, the obtaining of any other employment will in no event affect any reduction of the Company’s obligations to make (or cause to
be made) the payments and arrangements required to be made under this Amendment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a material
restatement of the Company’s financial results or as otherwise required by law, the Board or a Board committee will evaluate the
circumstances and may, in its discretion, recover from Employee the portion of any performance-based compensation earned by that Employee
during the fiscal periods materially affected by the restatement that would not have been earned had performance been measured on the
basis of the restated results, regardless of fault.

 

SECTION 23: DISPUTE RESOLUTION

 

		a.	Mediation.In the event of any dispute or claim arising out of, in connection with, or related
to this Amendment, the parties shall first meet and confer in good faith to fairly and equitably resolve the dispute. Such meeting shall
occur within seven days of the date of notice implementing this dispute resolution process. If the parties cannot resolve the issue within
10 days following such meeting, then they shall mediate the matter within 30 days after their meeting, under the auspices of Arbitration
Service of Portland ("ASP"), or if that entity fails or declines to serve, such other similar service or organization
as agreed by the parties to this Amendment.

 

		b.	Arbitration.Should the parties be unable to resolve any such dispute through such mediation,
they agree that binding arbitration shall be the exclusive remedy for any such claim or dispute. Any arbitration shall be conducted through
ASP in Portland, Oregon, using a single arbitrator agreed upon by the parties, or if the parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator,
selected by the parties alternatively striking names off a list of seven arbitrators provided by ASP. Such arbitration shall be conducted
under the employment arbitration rules of ASP. Advance costs of the arbitration shall be divided equally between the parties. If the arbitrator
finds, based on all the facts and circumstances, that the conduct of or the claims made by a party were unreasonable or substantially
without merit, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses (including expert witness
fees) incurred in connection with the arbitration and any subsequent litigation, together with the costs of the arbitration, from the
party asserting unreasonable or meritless claims, in addition to all other remedies provided in law or in equity. Judgment on the arbitration
award may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. Should any party to this Amendment institute any legal action or administrative
proceeding against the other with respect to any Claim or arbitrable dispute related to this Amendment without first engaging in binding
arbitration as provided herein, the responding party shall be entitled to recover from the initiating party all damages, costs, expenses,
and attorney’s fees incurred as a result of that breach.

 

SECTION 24: TERM

 

The term of this Amendment will commence on
the Effective Date and will end on the last day of the two (2) year period following a Change in Control; provided, however,
that if, prior to a Change in Control, Employee ceases for any reason to be an employee of the Company, then the term will, without
further action, expire, and this Amendment will terminate, as of such termination date; provided, further, that if Employee
exercises his or her rights under this Amendment prior to the end of the two (2) year period following a Change in Control, this
Amendment will continue for so long as any actions are being taken by Employee, within the terms of the Amendment, to enforce his or
her rights hereunder.

  

SECTION 25: COUNTERPARTS

 

This Amendment may be executed
in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

WAIVER AND RELEASE

 

In exchange for the payment to me of the Severance
Benefits described in Section 2 of the Employment Agreement between NuScale Power Corporation and me, as amended effective as of _________,
20__ (the "Agreement"), which I understand is incorporated herein by reference, and of other remuneration and consideration
provided for in the Agreement (the "Separation Benefits"), which is in addition to any remuneration or benefits to which
I am already entitled, I agree to waive all of my claims against and release (i) NuScale Power Corporation and its predecessors, successors
and assigns (collectively referred to as the "Company"), (ii) all of the affiliates (including all parent companies and
all wholly or partially owned subsidiaries) of the Company and their directors, officers, employees, agents, insurers, predecessors, successors
and assigns (collectively referred to as the "Affiliates"), and (iii) the Company’s and its Affiliates’ employee
benefit plans and the fiduciaries and agents of said plans (collectively referred to as the "Benefit Plans") from any
and all claims, demands, actions, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating in any way to my employment with or separation from
employment with the Company and its Affiliates other than amounts due pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3 of the First Amendment to the
Agreement (the “Amendment”) and rights and benefits I am entitled to under the Benefit Plans. (The Company, its Affiliates
and the Benefit Plans are sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Released Parties.")

 

I understand that signing this Waiver and Release
is an important legal act. I acknowledge that I am hereby advised in writing to consult an attorney before signing this Waiver and Release.
I understand that, in order to be eligible for the Separation Benefits, I must sign (and return to the Company) this Waiver and Release.
I acknowledge that I have been given at least [21] days to consider whether to accept the Separation Benefits and therefore execute this
Waiver and Release.

 

In exchange for the payment to me of the Separation
Benefits, (1) I agree not to pursue a legal claim in any local, state and/or federal court regarding or relating in any way to my employment
with or separation from employment with the Company and its Affiliates, and (2) I knowingly and voluntarily waive all claims and release
the Released Parties from any and all claims, demands, actions, liabilities, and damages, whether known or unknown, arising out of or
relating in any way to my employment with or separation from employment with the Company and its Affiliates, except to the extent that
my rights are vested under the terms of any employee benefit plans sponsored by the Company and its Affiliates and except with respect
to such rights or claims as may arise after the date this Waiver and Release is executed.

 

This Waiver and Release includes, but is not
limited to, claims and causes of action under: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; the Age Discrimination in
Employment Act of 1967, as amended, including the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act of 1990; the Civil Rights Act of 1866, as
amended; the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; the Workers Adjustment and Retraining
Notification Act of 1988; the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended;
the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended; the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993; the Fair Labor
Standards Act; the Occupational Safety and Health Act; the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industry (BOLI) regulation, claims in
connection with workers’ compensation, retaliation or "whistle blower" statutes; and/or contract, tort, defamation,
slander, wrongful termination or any other state or federal regulatory, statutory or common law. Notwithstanding the above, I
further acknowledge that I am not waiving and am not being required to waive any right that cannot be waived under law (including,
without limitation, the right to file an administrative charge or participate in an administrative investigation or proceeding);
provided that I disclaim and waive any right to share or participate in any monetary award resulting from the prosecution of such
charge or investigation or proceeding.

 

    - 18 -

     

    

 

Further, I expressly represent that no promise
or agreement which is not expressed in this Waiver and Release has been made to me in executing this Waiver and Release, and that I am
relying on my own judgment in executing this Waiver and Release, and that I am not relying on any statement or representation of the Company
or its Affiliates or any of their agents. I agree that this Waiver and Release is valid, fair, adequate and reasonable, is made with my
full knowledge and consent, was not procured through fraud, duress or mistake and has not had the effect of misleading, misinforming or
failing to inform me. I acknowledge and agree that the Company will withhold the minimum amount of any taxes required by federal or state
law from the Separation Benefits otherwise payable to me.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, I do not release
and expressly retain (a) all rights to indemnity, contribution, and defense, and directors and officers and other liability coverage that
I may have under any statute, the bylaws of the Company or by other agreement; and (b) the right to any, unpaid reasonable business expenses
and any accrued benefits payable under any Company welfare plan or tax-qualified plan.

 

I acknowledge that payment of the Separation Benefits
is not an admission by any one or more of the Released Parties that they engaged in any wrongful or unlawful act or that they violated
any federal or state law or regulation. I acknowledge that neither the Company nor its Affiliates has promised me continued employment
or represented to me that I will be rehired in the future. I acknowledge that my employer and I contemplate an unequivocal, complete and
final dissolution of my employment relationship. I acknowledge that this Waiver and Release does not create any right on my part to be
rehired by the Company or its Affiliates, and I hereby waive any right to future employment by the Company or its Affiliates.

 

I understand that for a period of seven (7) calendar
days following the date that I sign this Waiver and Release, I may revoke my acceptance of this Waiver and Release, provided that my written
statement of revocation is received on or before that seventh day by [Name and/or Title], [address], in which case the Waiver and
Release will not become effective. If I timely revoke my acceptance of this Waiver and Release, the Company will have no obligation to
provide the Separation Benefits to me. I understand that failure to revoke my acceptance of the offer within seven (7) calendar days from
the date I sign this Waiver and Release will result in this Waiver and Release being permanent and irrevocable.

 

Should any of the provisions set forth in this
Waiver and Release be determined to be invalid by a court, agency or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction, it is agreed that such
determination will not affect the enforceability of other provisions of this Waiver and Release. I acknowledge that this Waiver and Release
sets forth the entire understanding and agreement between me and the Company and its Affiliates concerning the subject matter of this
Waiver and Release and supersede any prior or contemporaneous oral and/or written agreements or representations, if any, between me and
the Company or its Affiliates.

 

    - 19 -

     

    

 

I acknowledge that I have read this Waiver and
Release, have had an opportunity to ask questions and have it explained to me, am signing this Waiver and Release knowingly and voluntarily
and with the advice of any attorney I have retained to advise me with respect to it, and that I understand that this Waiver and Release
will have the effect of knowingly and voluntarily waiving any action I might pursue, including breach of contract, personal injury, retaliation,
discrimination on the basis of race, age, sex, national origin, or disability and any other claims arising prior to the date of this Waiver
and Release.

 

I represent that I am not aware of any claim by
me other than the claims that are released in this Waiver and Release. By execution of this document, I do not waive or release or otherwise
relinquish any legal rights I may have which are attributable to or arise out of acts, omissions, or events of the Company or its Affiliates
which occur after the date of the execution of this Waiver and Release.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
("Amendment") is effective as of May 2, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), by and between NuScale Power,
LLC (the "Company") and Dale Atkinson ("Employee"). Each of the Company and Employee are a “Party”
to this Amendment, and both are “Parties” hereto.

 

WHEREAS, the Company and Employee
entered into an Employment Agreement effective May 17, 2019 (the “Agreement”);

 

WHEREAS, as part of its public
company readiness the Company desires to amend the Agreement on terms that are mutually agreed upon with Employee; and

 

WHEREAS, the Parties desire
to update certain additional terms in the Agreement.

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration
of the mutual covenants contained herein, the continuing employment of the Employee by the Company, and other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

 

SECTION 1: DEFINITIONS

 

All terms defined in this Section 1 will, throughout
this Amendment, have the meanings given herein and capitalized terms not otherwise defined shall have the meaning in the Agreement. The
terms Cause, Cause, Change in Control, Good Reason, and Release in the Agreement are superseded by the definitions below.

 

	(a)	"Annual Incentive Plan" means the Company’s incentive plan pursuant to which annual
incentives are granted, including any successor plan thereto.

 

	(b)	"Base Salary" means on the date of determination, the annual base salary then in effect
for Employee (but not less than the highest annual base salary paid to Employee during any of the three (3) years immediately preceding
the date of Employee’s Qualifying Termination).

 

	(c)	"Bonus" means the annual incentive amount payable to Employee, if any, under the Annual
Incentive Plan.

 

	(d)	“Cause: as determined in the reasonable judgment of the Company, means the Employee's (i)
commission of any felony or any crime involving moral turpitude or dishonesty; (ii) participation in a fraud against the Company or any
Affiliate; (iii) willful and material breach of Employee’s duties that has not been cured within thirty (30) days after written
notice from the Company of such breach; (iv) intentional and material damage to the Company’s or any Affiliate’s property;
(v) material violation of Company or its Affiliate’s policy or (vi) material breach by Employee of his/her Employee Proprietary
Information and Inventions Assignment.
	 	 
	 	Employee will not be deemed to have
been terminated for Cause unless and until there has been delivered to Employee written notice that Employee has engaged in conduct constituting
Cause. The determination of Cause will be made by Company’s Organization and Compensation Committee.

  

     

     

    

 

	(e)	Change in Control" means the first of the following to occur: (i) a Change in Ownership
of the Company, (ii) a Change in Effective Control of the Company, or (iii) a Change in the Ownership of Assets of the Company,
as described herein and construed in accordance with Code section 409A.

 

		(i)	A “Change in Ownership of the Company” shall
occur on the date that any one Person acquires, or Persons Acting as a Group acquire, ownership of the capital stock of the Company that,
together with the stock held by such Person or Group, constitutes more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of
the capital stock of the Company. However, if any one Person is, or Persons Acting as a Group are, considered to own more than 50%, on
a fully diluted basis, of the total fair market value or total voting power of the capital stock of the Company, the acquisition of additional
stock by the same Person or Persons Acting as a Group is not considered to cause a Change in Ownership of the Company or to cause a Change
in Effective Control of The Company (as described below). An increase in the percentage of capital stock owned by any one Person, or Persons
Acting as a Group, as a result of a transaction in which the Company acquires its stock in exchange for property will be treated as an
acquisition of stock.

 

		(ii)	A “Change in Effective Control of the Company”
shall occur on the date either (A) a majority of members of the Company’ Board is replaced during any 12-month period by directors
whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Company’ Board before the date of the appointment
or election, or (B) any one Person, or Persons Acting as a Group, acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on
the date of the most recent acquisition by such Person or Persons) ownership of stock of the Company possessing 50% or more of the total
voting power of the stock of the Company.

 

		(iii)	A “Change in the Ownership of Assets of the Company”
shall occur on the date that any one Person acquires, or Persons Acting as a Group acquire (or has or have acquired during the 12-month
period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such Person or Persons), assets from the Company that have a total gross fair
market value equal to or more than 50% of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately before such
acquisition or acquisitions. For this purpose, gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the Company, or the value of the
assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets.

 

		(iv)	The following rules of construction apply in interpreting the definition of Change in Control:

 

		(A)	A “Person” means any individual, entity or group within the meaning of
                                                                                                    Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, other than employee benefit plans sponsored or
                                                                                                    maintained by the Company and by entities controlled by the Company or an underwriter, initial purchaser or placement agent
                                                                                                    temporarily holding the capital stock of the Company pursuant
to a registered public offering.

 

    - 2 -

     

    

 

		(B)	Persons will be considered to be Persons Acting as a Group (or Group) if they are owners of a corporation
that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the corporation. If a
Person owns stock in both corporations that enter into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar transaction,
such shareholder is considered to be acting as a Group with other shareholders only with respect to the ownership in that corporation
before the transaction giving rise to the change and not with respect to the ownership interest in the other corporation. Persons will
not be considered to be acting as a Group solely because they purchase assets of the same corporation at the same time or purchase or
own stock of the same corporation at the same time, or as a result of the same public offering.

or a public offering of capital stock of the Company.

 

		(D)	For purposes of the definition of Change in Control, Section 318(a) of the Code applies to determine
stock ownership. Stock underlying a vested option is considered owned by the individual who holds the vested option (and the stock underlying
an unvested option is not considered owned by the individual who holds the unvested option). For purposes of the preceding sentence, however,
if a vested option is exercisable for stock that is not substantially vested (as defined by Treasury Regulation §1.83-3(b) and
(j)), the stock underlying the option is not treated as owned by the individual who holds the option.

 

	(f)	"Code" means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

	(g)	"Company" means NuScale Power Corporation, and any successor thereto which assumes and
agrees to perform this Amendment by operation of law, or otherwise.

plus Target Bonus determined immediately prior to the date on which a Change in Control occurs, or (b) the sum of Employee’s Base
Salary plus Target Bonus determined immediately prior to the date of the Qualifying Termination.

 

	(i)	"Compensation Committee" means the Organization and Compensation Committee of the Board.

 

	(j)	"Equity Plan" means any equity-compensation plan maintained by the Company or a Subsidiary
under which Employee received equity-based awards, such as stock options, restricted stock units, performance units or restricted stock.

 

	(k)	"Good Reason" means the Employee terminates his or her employment with the Company or
any Affiliate because, within the six (6) month period preceding the Employee's termination, one or more
of the following conditions arose and the Employee notified the Company of such condition within 90 days of its occurrence and the Company
did not remedy such condition within 30 days:

 

    - 3 -

     

    

 

		(i)	a material diminution of Employee’s aggregate compensation (including, without limitation, Base
Salary, annual bonus opportunity, and equity incentive compensation opportunities) (other than a Base Salary, annual bonus opportunity,
or equity incentive compensation opportunity reduction of not more than 20% applicable to all similarly situated employees);

 

		(ii)	a material diminution of Employee’s authority, duties or responsibilities; or

 

		(iii)	any other action or inaction that constitutes a material breach by the Company of the agreement under
which Employee provides services (e.g., failure of successor to assume this Amendment or breach of same);

 

	(l)	"IRS" means the Internal Revenue Service.

 

	(m)	“Qualifying Termination” means either a Qualifying Termination within 2 Years of Change

without Cause or (b) Employee’s resignation from employment for Good Reason.

employment with the Company or any Affiliate due to Employee’s involuntary termination of employment without Cause.

as Attachment A, in which Employee, in exchange for severance benefits described in Section 2, among other things, releases the
Company, its Subsidiaries and their Affiliates, their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, and their respective employee

SECTION 2: SUPERSEDED AND ADDITIONAL TERMS

 

“Duties and Scope of
Employment” The Company shall employ Employee in the position of Chief Operating Officer and shall render such business and
professional services in the performance of his duties, consistent with Employee's position within the Company, as shall reasonably be
assigned to him by the Chief Executive Officer and the Board.

 

Additional Consideration: Should the Company
complete a merger agreement with a publicly-listed special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) and complete a customary de-SPAC
transaction, Employee shall be entitled to a Transaction Completion Bonus equal to 75% of Employee’s Base Salary.

 

Termination by Company for Cause; Voluntary
Termination by Employee: Severance associated with termination voluntarily by Employee for Good Reason shall only be associated with
a Change in Control.

 

NuScale Power, LLC Change in Control Plan:
All terms associated with the NuScale Power, LLC Change in Control Plan are superseded by the terms in this Amendment.

 

SECTION 3: SEVERANCE BENEFITS

 

If Employee experiences a Qualifying Termination,
then, subject to the Waiver and Release requirement in Section 2(i) below, Employee will be entitled to receive, as additional compensation
for services rendered to the Company (including its Subsidiaries and Affiliates), the following severance benefits:

 

	(a)	Cash Severance Amount: A lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to Employee’s Compensation
multiplied by 3, subject to applicable withholding for income and employment taxes. Such cash severance payment will be paid by the sixtieth
(60th) day following Employee’s Qualifying Termination, but only if the Waiver and Release described in Section 2(i) has been timely
executed and returned and the Waiver and Release Revocation Period has expired.

 

	(b)	Accrued Obligations: Employee will be entitled to payment of all accrued Base Salary, accrued time
off and any other accrued and unpaid obligations as of the date of the Qualifying Termination. Such accrued obligations will be paid in
a lump sum, subject to applicable withholding for income and employment taxes, as soon as practicable following the date of Employee’s
Qualifying Termination in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll policies and practices.

 

	(c)	Pro-Rated Earned Bonus: If the successor fails to assume the Annual Incentive Plan, Employee will
be entitled to payment of the Bonus earned in accordance with the terms of the Annual Incentive Plan as acted on by the Compensation Committee
during the Company’s fiscal year of the Qualifying Termination. Such Bonus will be pro-rated as a fraction of twelve (12) for full
or partial months worked by Employee for the Company during such fiscal year and will be paid to Employee, at the time and in the same
manner specified in the Annual Incentive Plan.

 

    - 5 -

     

    

 

	(d)	Welfare Benefit Coverage: Employee will be entitled to continuation of Welfare Benefit Coverage
on the same basis as other active Company executives for Employee and his or her eligible dependents for a period of 18 months. Employee
and his or her covered dependents, if any, will be required to pay on an after-tax basis that portion of the premium cost paid by similarly
situated executives for active employee coverage to retain such coverages and the Company paid portion of the premium for such coverages
will be imputed as income and reported as wages to Employee. In all other respects Employee and his or her dependents will be treated
the same as other participants under the terms of such plans. The Welfare Benefit Coverage provided to Employee and his or her dependents
pursuant to this Section 2(d) will run concurrently with any continued coverage Employee and such dependents are entitled to elect under
the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended ("COBRA"), and Employee and such dependents will
be provided with notice of their COBRA rights.

 

	(e)	Outplacement: Employee will be entitled to reimbursement of any expenses reasonably incurred by
Employee during the twelve (12) month period following Employee’s Qualifying Termination for outplacement services in an amount
up to twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000). Reimbursement of such expenses will be made upon Employee’s substantiation of such
outplacement expenses; provided, however, that in no event will reimbursement be made later than March 15 of the year following
the year in which Employee incurs the substantiated expenses.

 

	(f)	Payment of Legal Expenses. Employee will be entitled to reimbursement of any legal expenses reasonably
incurred by Employee in order to obtain benefits under this Amendment; provided, that, the payment of such expenses is subject to an arms-length,
bona fide dispute as to Employee's right to such benefits. Such reimbursements will be made on a regular, periodic basis upon Employee’s
substantiation of such legal expenses; provided, however, that in no event will reimbursement be made later than March 15 of the
year following the year in which Employee incurs the expenses unless Employee is a “Specified Employee” within the meaning
of section 409A of the Code and it is determined that reimbursement of such expenses is being made by reason of Employee’s "Separation
from Service" (within the meaning of section 409A of the Code and Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h)(3) (or any successor regulations
or guidance thereto) in which case reimbursement of such expenses will not be made before the day that is six (6) months and one (1) day
following Employee’s Separation from Service. The amount of legal expenses eligible for reimbursement under this Section 2(f) during
a taxable year may not affect the legal expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year and the right to reimbursement under
this Section 2(f) is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.
	 	 
	 	The pendency of a
claim by the Company that a claim or defense of Employee is frivolous or otherwise lacking merit will not excuse the Company from
making periodic payments of legal expenses pursuant to this Section 2(f) until a final determination is made regarding the validity
of Employee’s claim. In the event that a final determination is made that a claim asserted by Employee was frivolous, the
portion of such expenses incurred by Employee as a result of such frivolous claim will become Employee’s sole responsibility
and any funds advanced by the Company will be repaid to the Company. Any failure by the Company to satisfy any of its obligations
under this Section 2(f) will not limit the rights of Employee hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, Employee will have the status of
a general unsecured creditor of the Company and will have no right to, or security interest in, any assets of the Company or any
Subsidiary or Affiliate.

	(g)	Equity Compensation Adjustments.

 

		(i)	For a upon a Qualifying Termination in conjunction with a Change in Control, if the successor fails to
assume the Equity Plan: (i) any equity-based compensation awards, other than performance-based equity awards, granted to Employee
by the Company under an Equity Plan prior to such termination that are outstanding will, to the extent that the terms of the Equity Plan
and its associated award agreements do not provide for the immediate vesting, exercisability and/or settlement of such awards, fully vest,
and (ii) any performance-based equity awards will be paid to Employee at 100% of the target value for such bonus.

 

		(ii)	For a Qualifying Termination Not Involving Change of Control: (i) any equity-based compensation awards,
other than performance-based equity awards, granted to Employee by the Company under an Equity Plan prior to such termination that are
outstanding will, to the extent that the terms of the Equity Plan and its associated award agreements do not provide for the immediate
vesting, exercisability and/or settlement of such awards, continue to vest and become exercisable or settled pursuant to the existing
vesting schedule as if Employee was still employed, subject to the requirements of section 409A of the Code to the extent applicable,
and (ii) any performance-based equity awards will, to the extent the applicable performance criteria are met, be earned at 100% of the
target value on a pro rata basis based on the number of full months worked by Employee for the Company during the applicable performance
period and the number of months in the applicable performance period and will be settled at the time and in the same manner specified
in the Equity Plan. Employee will not be entitled to any new-equity based compensation awards following the date of his or her Qualifying
Termination.

 

	(h)	Retention Awards. If the successor fails to assume responsibility for the retention awards, upon
a Qualifying Termination any outstanding retention awards granted to Employee which are outstanding will become immediately vested and
settled pursuant to their terms, subject to the requirements of section 409A of the Code, to the extent applicable.

 

	(i)	Waiver and Release Requirement. Payment of the benefits under this Section 3 is subject to Employee’s
timely execution and return of the Waiver and Release to the Company, without subsequent revocation during the seven (7)-day period following
such execution date (the "Waiver and Release Revocation Period"), as provided in this Section 3(i). Employee will have
fifty (50) days following (i) his or her Qualifying Termination date to consider, execute and return the Waiver and Release to the Company
and will then have the right to revoke the Waiver and Release during the Waiver and Release Revocation Period. If Employee fails to timely
execute and return the Waiver and Release to the Company or revokes such Waiver and Release during the Waiver and Release Revocation Period,
then Employee will forfeit, and will not be entitled to, any of the benefits described in this Section 3 (other than the amounts described
in Section 3(b)).

 

    - 7 -

     

    

 

SECTION 4: TARGET BONUS
PAYMENT, RETENTION AWARDS AND EQUITY CASHOUT

 

In the event that the successor to the Company
does not assume the Annual Incentive Plan, and irrespective of whether Employee incurs a Qualifying Termination, Employee will be entitled
to receive a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to the Target Bonus in effect at the time of the Change in Control, subject to applicable
withholding for income and employment taxes. Such Target Bonus will be paid within five thirty (30) calendar days following the date of
the Change in Control. In the event the successor to the Company does not assume any outstanding retention awards as of the date of the
Change in Control, then such awards will become immediately fully vested and settled at the time of such Change in Control, subject to
the requirements of section 409A of the Code to the extent applicable. In the event the successor to the Company does not assume the Equity
Plan or grant comparable awards in substitution of the outstanding awards under the Equity Plan as of the date of the Change in Control,
then any equity-based compensation awards granted to Employee by the Company under Equity Plan and outstanding as of the date of the Change
in Control, other than performance-based equity awards, will become immediately fully vested and/or exercisable and will no longer be
subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture or restrictions on transferability, other than those imposed by applicable legislative or
regulatory requirements, including the provisions of section 409A of the Code to the extent applicable. Any performance-based equity compensation
awards granted to Employee by the Company under the Equity Plan and outstanding as of the date of the Change in Control will become fully
vested at a rate determined under the Equity Plan as if the target performance measures were met and will be settled at the time of such
Change in Control, subject to applicable legislative or regulatory requirements, including the provisions of section 409A of the Code
to the extent applicable.

 

SECTION 5: SECTION 280G

 

	(a)	Adjustment for 280G Excise Tax. In the event payments to Employee pursuant
to this Amendment (when considered with all other payments made to Employee as a result of a Change in Control that are subject to section
280G of the Code) (the amount of all such payments, collectively, the "Parachute Payment")
results in Employee becoming liable for the payment of any excise taxes pursuant to section 4999 of the Code, together with any interest
or penalties with respect to such excise tax ("280G Excise Tax"), then the Company
will automatically reduce (the “Reduction”) Employee’s Parachute Payment to
the minimum extent necessary to prevent the Parachute Payment (after the Reduction) from being subject to the Excise Tax, but only if,
by reason of the Reduction, the after-tax benefit of the reduced Parachute Payment exceeds the after-tax benefit if such Reduction were
not made. If the after-tax benefit of the reduced Parachute Payment does not exceed the after-tax benefit if the Parachute Payment is
not reduced, then the Reduction will not apply. If the Reduction is applicable, the Parachute Payment will be reduced in such a manner
that provides Employee with the best economic benefit and, to the extent any portions of the Parachute Payment are economically equivalent
with each other, each will be reduced pro rata. 

 

    - 8 -

     

    

 

	(b)	Determination of Adjustment. All determinations required to be made under Section 4(a), including
the after-tax benefit and calculation of the Reduction, will be made by a nationally recognized certified public accounting firm that
is selected by the Company (the “Accounting Firm”), which may be the Company’s independent auditors. In the event
that the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change in Control or the
Accounting Firm declines or is unable to serve, Employee will appoint another
nationally recognized certified public accounting firm, which is reasonably agreed to by the Company, to make the determinations required
hereunder (which accounting firm will then be referred to as the Accounting Firm hereunder). In the event that the Accounting Firm determines
that no Excise Tax is payable by Employee, either with or without application of the Reduction under Section 4(a), then the Accounting
Firm will furnish Employee with a written opinion that failure to report the Excise Tax on Employee’s applicable federal income
tax return would not result in the imposition of a negligence or similar penalty. If the Reduction is applicable, the Company will provide
Employee with a written summary of the portions of the Parachute Payment that will be reduced. All fees and expenses of the Accounting
Firm will be borne solely by the Company. All determinations by the Accounting Firm made under this Section 4(b) will be binding upon
the Company and Employee.

 

SECTION 6: INDEMNIFICATION

 

THE COMPANY WILL, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED
BY LAW, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS EXECUTIVE FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, COSTS AND DAMAGES ARISING FROM EXECUTIVE’S
SERVICE AS AN EMPLOYEE, OFFICER OR DIRECTOR OF THE COMPANY OR ITS AFFILIATES, SPECIFICALLY INCLUDING LIABILITY, COSTS AND DAMAGES THAT
ARISE IN WHOLE OR IN PART FROM ANY NEGLIGENCE OR ALLEGED NEGLIGENCE OF EXECUTIVE, EXCEPT, HOWEVER, TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH LIABILITY,
COST OR DAMAGE RESULTED FROM AN ACT OR OMISSION BY EXECUTIVE THAT CONSTITUTES GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT ON EXECUTIVE’S
PART. The Company will provide directors' and officers' liability insurance that will cover Employee's actions in the course and scope
of Employee’s duties on behalf of the Company or its Affiliates as well as any contractual indemnification provided to other executives
at his or her level at any given time. To the fullest extent permitted by Oregon law, in connection with any litigation or proceeding
related to Employee's actions in the course and scope of Employee’s duties on behalf of the Company or its Affiliates, the Company
will either (a) retain counsel to defend Employee or (b) reimburse Employee for legal fees and expenses for counsel selected by Employee,
twenty (20) days after receipt by the Company of a written request for reimbursement, which request will include an itemized list of the
fees and expenses incurred. Before the Company retains counsel or reimburses Employee under this Section 5, Employee must agree in writing
in a form acceptable to the Company to reimburse the Company for all amounts paid under this Section 5 if it is ultimately determined
that Employee is not entitled to be indemnified for such fees and expenses. This Section 5 will be in addition to, and will not limit
in any way, the rights of Employee to any other indemnification from the Company, as a matter of law, contract or otherwise.

 

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, the Company’s
indemnification and hold harmless obligations hereunder will not apply to the extent Employee is required to repay any amounts to the
Company pursuant to federal legislation (including Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) or a generally applicable clawback
policy adopted by the Company.

 

    - 9 -

     

    

 

SECTION 7: CONFIDENTIALITY

 

Employee acknowledges that pursuant to this
Amendment, the Company agrees to provide Employee Confidential Information regarding the Company and the Company’s business
and has previously provided him or her other such Confidential Information. In return for this and other consideration, provided
under this Amendment, Employee agrees that he or she will not, while employed by the Company and thereafter, disclose or make
available to any other person or entity, or use for his or her own personal gain, any Confidential Information, except for such
disclosures as required in the performance of Employee’s duties hereunder as may otherwise be required by law or legal process
(in which case Employee will notify the Company of such legal or judicial proceeding as soon as practicable following
Employee’s receipt of notice of such a proceeding, and permit the Company to seek to protect its interests and information).
For purposes of this Amendment, "Confidential Information" means any and all information, data and knowledge that
has been created, discovered, developed or otherwise become known to the Company or any of its Affiliates, Subsidiaries or
ventures or in which property rights have been assigned or otherwise conveyed to the Company or any of its Affiliates, Subsidiaries
or ventures, which information, data or knowledge has commercial value in the business in which the Company is engaged, except such
information, data or knowledge as is or becomes known to the public without violation of the terms of this Amendment. By way of
illustration, but not limitation, Confidential Information includes business trade secrets, secrets concerning the Company’s
plans and strategies, nonpublic information concerning material market opportunities, technical trade secrets, processes, formulas,
know-how, improvements, discoveries, developments, designs, inventions, techniques, marketing plans, manuals, records of research,
reports, memoranda, computer software, strategies, forecasts, new products, unpublished financial information, projections,
licenses, prices, costs, and employee, customer and supplier lists or parts thereof.

 

SECTION 8: RETURN OF PROPERTY

 

Employee agrees that at the time of leaving the
Company’s employ, Employee will deliver to the Company (and will not keep in Employee’s possession, recreate or deliver to
anyone else) all Confidential Information as well as all other devices, records, data, notes, reports, proposals, lists, correspondence,
specifications, drawings, blueprints, sketches, materials, equipment, customer or client lists or information, or any other documents
or property (including all reproductions of the aforementioned items) belonging to the Company or any of its Affiliates, Subsidiaries
or ventures, regardless of whether such items were prepared by Employee.

 

SECTION 9: NON-SOLICITATION AND NON-COMPETITION
AND NONDISPARAGEMENT

 

	(a)	Non-Solicitation. In return for the consideration provided under this Amendment, including, but
not limited to the Company’s agreement to provide Employee with Confidential Information (as defined in Section 6) regarding the
Company and the Company’s business, Employee agrees that while employed by the Company and for one (1) year following a Qualifying
Termination Employee will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, (i) hire or induce, entice or
solicit (or attempt to induce, entice or solicit) any employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, Affiliates or ventures to leave
the employment of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, Affiliates or ventures or (ii) solicit or attempt to solicit the business of
any customer or acquisition prospect of the Company or any of its Affiliates or ventures with whom Employee had any actual contact while
employed at the Company.

 

	(b)	Non-Competition. Additionally, in return for the consideration provided under this Amendment, including,
but not limited to the Company’s agreement to provide Employee with Confidential Information regarding the Company and the Company’s
business, Employee agrees that while employed by the Company and for one (1) year following a Qualifying Termination Employee will not,
without the prior written consent of the Company, acting alone or in conjunction
with others, either directly or indirectly, engage in any business that is in competition with the Company or accept employment with or
render services to such a business as an officer, agent, employee, independent contractor or consultant, or otherwise engage in activities
that are in competition with the Company.

 

    - 10 -

     

    

 

	(c)	Geographic Restrictions. The restrictions contained in this Section 8 are limited to the geographic
areas in which Employee performed duties on behalf of the Company or about which Employee possessed Confidential Information during the
twelve (12) months prior to Employee’s Qualifying Termination.

 

	(d)	Non-disparagement. Employee agrees that Employee will not disparage the Company, the Board, the
Company’s executives, the Company’s employees and the Company’s products or services during the term of this Amendment
and thereafter. The Company likewise agrees that it will not disparage Employee during the term of this Amendment and thereafter. For
purposes of this Section 8(d), disparagement does not include (i) compliance with legal process or subpoenas to the extent only truthful
statements are rendered in such compliance attempt, (ii) statements in response to an inquiry from a court or regulatory body, or (iii)
statements or comments in rebuttal of media stories.

 

	(e)	Forfeiture Provision. If Employee violates any of the covenants and restrictions contained in this
Section 8 or the confidentiality provisions of Section 6, Employee must pay to the Company the full amount of the severance benefits received
by Employee pursuant to Section 2 (other than Section 2(b)) or such lesser amount as determined to be the maximum reasonable and enforceable
amount by a court or arbitrator. The provisions of this Section 8(e) are in addition to any forfeiture provisions of other Company plans,
programs or agreements applicable to Employee. Employee specifically recognizes and affirms that this Section 8 is a material part of
this Amendment without which the Company would not have entered into this Amendment. Employee further covenants and agrees that if all
or any part or application of this Section 8 is held or found invalid or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever by a court of competent
jurisdiction or arbitrator in an action between Employee and the Company, then Employee will promptly pay to the Company the amount of
the severance benefits received by Employee pursuant to Section 2, or such lesser amount as is determined to be the maximum reasonable
and enforceable amount by a court or arbitrator, as applicable.

 

	(f)	Reasonableness of Restrictions. Employee acknowledges that these restrictive covenants under this
Amendment, for which Employee received valuable consideration from the Company as provided in this Amendment, including, but not limited
to the Company’s agreement to provide Employee with Confidential Information regarding the Company and the Company’s business
are ancillary to otherwise enforceable provisions of this Amendment that the consideration provided by the Company gives rise to the Company’s
interest in restraining Employee from competing and that the restrictive covenants are designed to enforce Employee’s consideration
or return promises under this Amendment. Additionally, Employee acknowledges that these restrictive covenants contain limitations as to
time, geographical area, and scope of activity to be restrained that are reasonable and do not impose a greater restraint than is necessary
to protect the goodwill or other legitimate business interests of the Company, including, but not limited to, the Company’s need
to protect its Confidential Information.

 

    - 11 -

     

    

 

	(g)	Enforcement and Remedies. Should a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator find that the
restrictive covenants are unreasonable, Employee and the Company agree that the court or arbitrator will revise the restrictive covenants
to restrict Employee’s activities for the maximum period, scope or geographic area permitted by law. Because Employee’s services
are unique and due to Employee’s receipt of the Confidential Information, Employee and the Company agree that the Company would
suffer imminent, irreparable harm from a breach of this Section 8 as well as the non-disclosure provisions of Section 6 and monetary damages
would not provide an adequate remedy for a breach of Sections 6 and 8. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach, the Company
is entitled to specific performance, injunctive relief and/or equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in order to enforce
this Amendment and prevent a breach of Sections 6 and 8 of this Amendment.

 

SECTION 10: CONFLICTS WITH OTHER AGREEMENTS

 

In the event that Employee becomes entitled to
benefits under a subsequent agreement pertaining to Employee’s employment by the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate (other than
this Amendment) or the benefits to which Employee is entitled as a result of such employment and such benefits conflict with the terms
of this Amendment and the subsequent agreement does not expressly supersede all prior agreements, Employee will receive the greater and
more favorable of each of the benefits provided under either this Amendment and the Agreement or such other agreement or benefits, on
an individual benefit basis, provided, however, that any such other conflicting payment is payable under its terms in the same
calendar year and in the same form as the corresponding benefit payable under this Amendment.

SECTION 12: LITIGATION ASSISTANCE

 

Employee agrees to assist the Company with any
litigation matters related to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates as may be reasonably requested by the
Company’s Chief Legal Officer following the date of Employee’s Qualifying Termination. The Company will reimburse
Employee for any reasonable travel or other business expenses incurred in connection with providing such assistance and cooperation.
Employee will provide such services as an independent contractor and such services will be limited solely to those matters with
which Employee is suitably experienced and knowledgeable by reason of Employee’s education, training, background and prior
employment with the Company. The Company and Employee agree to work out reasonable accommodations for the provision of such
assistance so that it does not unreasonably interfere with any of Employee’s personal affairs, business endeavors or future
employment. The Company and Employee agree that the services provided by Employee under this Section 11, if any, will not exceed
twenty percent (20%) of the average level of bona fide services performed by Employee (whether as an employee or an independent
contractor of the Company) over the thirty-six (36) month period (or the full period of services to the Company if Employee has been
providing services to the Company for less than thirty-six (36) months) immediately preceding Employee’s Qualifying
Termination date.

 

SECTION 13: PRIOR AGREEMENTS/MODIFICATION

 

This Amendment contains the entire agreement between
the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements or understandings, whether written or oral,
between the parties with respect thereto. This Amendment may be amended by an agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto; provided,
however, that, in addition, (i) Employee’s Compensation may be increased at any time by the Company without in any way affecting
any of the other terms and conditions of this Amendment which in all other respects will remain in full force and effect, (ii) the Company
may amend this Amendment upon written notice to Employee in order to comply with or minimize the adverse impact of changes in the law
(including, without limitation, the avoidance of new regulatory requirements applicable to welfare benefits), provided that the economic
benefits of this Amendment as so amended are maintained to the extent reasonably practicable and (iii) the Company may amend this Amendment
without the consent of Employee upon written notice to Employee, provided that the amendment is not effective until at least one year
after it is communicated to Employee and a Change in Control has not occurred prior to the effective date of the amendment. The provisions
of this Amendment will be binding upon, and will inure to the benefit of, the respective heirs, legal representatives and successors of
the parties hereto. Employee represents to the Company that he or she is not a party to any agreement or subject to any legal restriction
that would prevent him or her from fulfilling his or her duties hereunder.

 

SECTION 14: SECTION 409A

 

It is the intent of the parties that the provisions
of this Amendment comply with, or satisfy an exemption from, section 409A of the Code, as specified below. Accordingly, the parties intend
that this Amendment be interpreted and operated consistent with such requirements of section 409A in order to avoid the application of
penalty taxes under section 409A to the extent reasonably practicable. The Company will neither cause nor permit: (a) any payment, benefit
or consideration to be substituted for a benefit that is payable under this Amendment if such action would result in the failure of any
amount that is subject to section 409A of the Code to comply with the applicable requirements of section 409A of the Code; or (b) any
adjustments to any equity interest to be made in a manner that would result in the equity interest becoming subject to section 409A of
the Code unless, after such adjustment, the equity interest is in compliance with the requirements of section 409A of the Code to the
extent applicable.

 

Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement
and this Amendment to the contrary, if Employee is a “Specified Employee” within the meaning of section 409A of the Code
as of Employee’s Qualifying Termination date, then any amounts or benefits which are payable under this Amendment upon
Employee’s "Separation from Service" (within the meaning of section 409A), other than due to death, which are
subject to the provisions of section 409A and not otherwise excluded under section 409A, and would otherwise be payable during the
first six (6)-month period following such Separation from Service, will be paid on the day that is (a) six (6) months and one (1)
day after the date after Employee’s Qualifying Termination date or (b) follows Employee’s date of death, if earlier.

 

    - 13 -

     

    

 

The cash severance benefits in Section 2(a), the
accrued obligations under Section 2(b), the pro-rata earned bonus under Section 2(c), the welfare benefit coverage under Section 2(d),
the outplacement services under Section 2(e) and the Target Bonus payout under Section 3 are excluded from section 409A. The legal expense
provision under Section 2(f) (and the welfare benefit coverage under Section 2(d) if deemed to be subject to section 409A) are intended
to qualify as eligible reimbursement arrangements under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv) and will be reimbursed in accordance
with the requirements of such regulation such that any reimbursements will be deemed payable at a specified time or on a fixed schedule
relative to a permissible payment event. The equity compensation provided pursuant to Section 2(g) and retention awards provided pursuant
to Section 2(h) are subject to section 409A of the Code to the extent provided under the applicable Equity Plan or retention award agreement,
as applicable.

 

SECTION 15: APPLICABLE LAW

 

The validity, interpretation, construction and
performance of this Amendment will be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Delaware, including
the Oregon statute of limitations, but without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws of such State.

 

SECTION 16: SEVERABILITY

 

If a court of competent jurisdiction determines
that any provision of this Amendment is invalid or unenforceable, then the invalidity or unenforceability of that provision will not affect
the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Amendment and all other provisions will remain in full force and effect.

 

SECTION 17: WITHHOLDING OF TAXES

 

The Company may withhold from any benefits payable
under this Amendment all federal, state, city or other taxes as may be required pursuant to any law or governmental regulation or ruling.

 

SECTION 18: NO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

Nothing in this Amendment changes the at will
nature of Employee’s employment, nor will it give Employee any rights to (or impose any obligations for) continued employment by
the Company (or any Affiliate or Subsidiary) or successor thereto, nor will it give the Company any rights (or impose any obligations)
with respect to continued performance of duties by Employee for the Company (or any Affiliate or Subsidiary) or successor thereto.

 

SECTION 19: NO ASSIGNMENT

 

Employee’s right to receive payments or
benefits hereunder will not be assignable or transferable, whether by pledge, creation of a security interest or otherwise, whether
voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, other than a transfer by will or by the laws of descent or distribution,
and in the event of any attempted assignment or transfer contrary to this Section 18, the Company will have no liability to pay any
amount so attempted to be assigned or transferred.

 

    - 14 -

     

    

 

SECTION 20: SUCCESSORS

 

This Amendment will inure to the benefit of and
be enforceable by Employee’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees
and legatees.

 

This Amendment will be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any company into or with which the Company may
merge or consolidate). The Company agrees that it will not effectuate the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of its
assets unless either (a) the person or entity acquiring such assets or a substantial portion thereof will expressly assume by an instrument
in writing all duties and obligations of the Company hereunder or (b) the Company will provide, through the establishment of a separate
reserve therefor, for the payment in full of all amounts which are or may reasonably be expected to become payable to Employee hereunder.

 

SECTION 21: DEATH

 

In the event of Employee’s
death while employed hereunder, Employee’s beneficiary (or such other person(s) specified by will, Employee estate planning documents,
or applicable laws of descent and distribution) shall receive a lump sum payment within forty-five (45) days of Employee's death equal
to (i) any earned and unpaid Base Salary, (ii) Employee's accrued and unused vacation, and (iii) Employee's Annual Incentive Bonus to
which Employee would have been entitled if target performance had been achieved, prorated to the date of Employee’s death. In addition,
the Company shall pay 100% of the COBRA premium for up to 18 months of continuation coverage under the Company's group health plan for
the Employee's surviving spouse and any dependent children, provided they were covered under the Company's group health plan on the date
of Employee's death and timely elect COBRA continuation coverage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the COBRA subsidy shall terminate and
the Company shall have no further obligation upon the earlier of (i) the date COBRA coverage terminates, and (ii) the date such subsidy
may, in the Company's discretion, violate the nondiscrimination rules of or result in the imposition of penalties under the Affordable
Care Act and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder or any other applicable law. Any options granted to Employee pursuant
to an Equity Incentive Plan shall, in the event of Employee’s death while employed, be transferred to Employee’s beneficiary
(or such other person(s) specified by will, Employee estate planning documents, or applicable laws of descent and distribution). The Equity
Incentive Plan then in effect will control when and whether such options have vested and whether and how they may be exercised.

SECTION 22: PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE

 

Except for the requirement of Employee to
execute and return to the Company a Waiver and Release in accordance with Section 2, the Company’s obligation to pay (or cause
one of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries to pay) Employee the amounts and to make the arrangements provided herein will be absolute and
unconditional and will not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, any set off, counter claim, recoupment,
defense or other right which the Company (including its Affiliates and Subsidiaries) may have against Employee or anyone else. All
amounts payable by the Company (including its Affiliates and Subsidiaries hereunder) will be paid without notice or demand. Employee
will not be obligated to seek other employment in mitigation of the amounts payable or arrangements made under any provision of this
Amendment, and, subject to the restrictions in Section 8, the obtaining of any other employment will in no event affect any
reduction of the Company’s obligations to make (or cause to be made) the payments and arrangements required to be made under
this Amendment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a material restatement of the Company’s financial results, the
Board or a Board committee will evaluate the circumstances and may, in its discretion, recover from Employee the portion of any
performance-based compensation earned by that Employee during the fiscal periods materially affected by the restatement that would
not have been earned had performance been measured on the basis of the restated results, regardless of fault.

 

SECTION 23: DISPUTE RESOLUTION

 

		a.	Mediation.In the event of any dispute or claim arising out of, in connection with, or related
to this Amendment, the parties shall first meet and confer in good faith to fairly and equitably resolve the dispute. Such meeting shall
occur within seven days of the date of notice implementing this dispute resolution process. If the parties cannot resolve the issue within
10 days following such meeting, then they shall mediate the matter within 30 days after their meeting, under the auspices of Arbitration
Service of Portland ("ASP"), or if that entity fails or declines to serve, such other similar service or organization
as agreed by the parties to this Amendment.

 

		b.	Arbitration.Should the parties be unable to resolve any such dispute through such mediation,
they agree that binding arbitration shall be the exclusive remedy for any such claim or dispute. Any arbitration shall be conducted through
ASP in Portland, Oregon, using a single arbitrator agreed upon by the parties, or if the parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator,
selected by the parties alternatively striking names off a list of seven arbitrators provided by ASP. Such arbitration shall be conducted
under the employment arbitration rules of ASP. Advance costs of the arbitration shall be divided equally between the parties. If the arbitrator
finds, based on all the facts and circumstances, that the conduct of or the claims made by a party were unreasonable or substantially
without merit, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses (including expert witness
fees) incurred in connection with the arbitration and any subsequent litigation, together with the costs of the arbitration, from the
party asserting unreasonable or meritless claims, in addition to all other remedies provided in law or in equity. Judgment on the arbitration
award may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. Should any party to this Amendment institute any legal action or administrative
proceeding against the other with respect to any Claim or arbitrable dispute related to this Amendment without first engaging in binding
arbitration as provided herein, the responding party shall be entitled to recover from the initiating party all damages, costs, expenses,
and attorney’s fees incurred as a result of that breach.

SECTION 24: TERM

 

The term of this Amendment will commence on the
Effective Date and will end on the last day of the two (2) year period following a Change in Control; provided, however, that
if, prior to a Change in Control, Employee ceases for any reason to be an employee of the Company, then the term will, without
further action, expire, and this Amendment will terminate, as of such termination date; provided, further, that if Employee
exercises his or her rights under this Amendment prior to the end of the two (2) year period following a Change in Control, this
Amendment will continue for so long as any actions are being taken by Employee, within the terms of the Amendment, to enforce his or
her rights hereunder.

 

SECTION 25: COUNTERPARTS

 

This Amendment may be executed
in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused
this Amendment to be executed effective as of the Effective Date.

WAIVER AND RELEASE

 

In exchange for the payment to me of the Severance
Benefits described in Section 2 of the Employment Agreement between NuScale Power Corporation and me, as amended effective as of _________,
20__ (the "Agreement"), which I understand is incorporated herein by reference, and of other remuneration and consideration
provided for in the Agreement (the "Separation Benefits"), which is in addition to any remuneration or benefits to which
I am already entitled, I agree to waive all of my claims against and release (i) NuScale Power Corporation and its predecessors, successors
and assigns (collectively referred to as the "Company"), (ii) all of the affiliates (including all parent companies and
all wholly or partially owned subsidiaries) of the Company and their directors, officers, employees, agents, insurers, predecessors, successors
and assigns (collectively referred to as the "Affiliates"), and (iii) the Company’s and its Affiliates’ employee
benefit plans and the fiduciaries and agents of said plans (collectively referred to as the "Benefit Plans") from any
and all claims, demands, actions, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating in any way to my employment with or separation from
employment with the Company and its Affiliates other than amounts due pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3 of the First Amendment to the
Agreement (the “Amendment”) and rights and benefits I am entitled to under the Benefit Plans. (The Company, its Affiliates
and the Benefit Plans are sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Released Parties.")

 

I understand that signing this Waiver and Release
is an important legal act. I acknowledge that I am hereby advised in writing to consult an attorney before signing this Waiver and Release.
I understand that, in order to be eligible for the Separation Benefits, I must sign (and return to the Company) this Waiver and Release.
I acknowledge that I have been given at least [21] days to consider whether to accept the Separation Benefits and therefore execute this
Waiver and Release.

 

In exchange for the payment to me of the Separation
Benefits, (1) I agree not to pursue a legal claim in any local, state and/or federal court regarding or relating in any way to my employment
with or separation from employment with the Company and its Affiliates, and (2) I knowingly and voluntarily waive all claims and release
the Released Parties from any and all claims, demands, actions, liabilities, and damages, whether known or unknown, arising out of or
relating in any way to my employment with or separation from employment with the Company and its Affiliates, except to the extent that
my rights are vested under the terms of any employee benefit plans sponsored by the Company and its Affiliates and except with respect
to such rights or claims as may arise after the date this Waiver and Release is executed.

 

This Waiver and Release includes, but is not
limited to, claims and causes of action under: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; the Age Discrimination in
Employment Act of 1967, as amended, including the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act of 1990; the Civil Rights Act of 1866, as
amended; the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; the Workers Adjustment and Retraining
Notification Act of 1988; the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended;
the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended; the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993; the Fair Labor
Standards Act; the Occupational Safety and Health Act; the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industry (BOLI) regulation, claims in
connection with workers’ compensation, retaliation or "whistle blower" statutes; and/or contract, tort, defamation,
slander, wrongful termination or any other state or federal regulatory, statutory or common law. Notwithstanding the above, I
further acknowledge that I am not waiving and am not being required to waive any right that cannot be waived under law (including,
without limitation, the right to file an administrative charge or participate in an administrative investigation or proceeding);
provided that I disclaim and waive any right to share or participate in any monetary award resulting from the prosecution of such
charge or investigation or proceeding.

 

    - 18 -

     

    

 

Further, I expressly represent that no promise
or agreement which is not expressed in this Waiver and Release has been made to me in executing this Waiver and Release, and that I am
relying on my own judgment in executing this Waiver and Release, and that I am not relying on any statement or representation of the Company
or its Affiliates or any of their agents. I agree that this Waiver and Release is valid, fair, adequate and reasonable, is made with my
full knowledge and consent, was not procured through fraud, duress or mistake and has not had the effect of misleading, misinforming or
failing to inform me. I acknowledge and agree that the Company will withhold the minimum amount of any taxes required by federal or state
law from the Separation Benefits otherwise payable to me.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, I do not release
and expressly retain (a) all rights to indemnity, contribution, and defense, and directors and officers and other liability coverage that
I may have under any statute, the bylaws of the Company or by other agreement; and (b) the right to any, unpaid reasonable business expenses
and any accrued benefits payable under any Company welfare plan or tax-qualified plan.

 

I acknowledge that payment of the Separation Benefits
is not an admission by any one or more of the Released Parties that they engaged in any wrongful or unlawful act or that they violated
any federal or state law or regulation. I acknowledge that neither the Company nor its Affiliates has promised me continued employment
or represented to me that I will be rehired in the future. I acknowledge that my employer and I contemplate an unequivocal, complete and
final dissolution of my employment relationship. I acknowledge that this Waiver and Release does not create any right on my part to be
rehired by the Company or its Affiliates, and I hereby waive any right to future employment by the Company or its Affiliates.

 

I understand that for a period of seven (7) calendar
days following the date that I sign this Waiver and Release, I may revoke my acceptance of this Waiver and Release, provided that my written
statement of revocation is received on or before that seventh day by [Name and/or Title], [address], in which case the Waiver and
Release will not become effective. If I timely revoke my acceptance of this Waiver and Release, the Company will have no obligation to
provide the Separation Benefits to me. I understand that failure to revoke my acceptance of the offer within seven (7) calendar days from
the date I sign this Waiver and Release will result in this Waiver and Release being permanent and irrevocable.

 

Should any of the provisions set forth in this
Waiver and Release be determined to be invalid by a court, agency or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction, it is agreed that such
determination will not affect the enforceability of other provisions of this Waiver and Release. I acknowledge that this Waiver and Release
sets forth the entire understanding and agreement between me and the Company and its Affiliates concerning the subject matter of this
Waiver and Release and supersede any prior or contemporaneous oral and/or written agreements or representations, if any, between me and
the Company or its Affiliates.

 

    - 19 -

     

    

 

I acknowledge that I have read this Waiver and
Release, have had an opportunity to ask questions and have it explained to me, am signing this Waiver and Release knowingly and voluntarily
and with the advice of any attorney I have retained to advise me with respect to it, and that I understand that this Waiver and Release
will have the effect of knowingly and voluntarily waiving any action I might pursue, including breach of contract, personal injury, retaliation,
discrimination on the basis of race, age, sex, national origin, or disability and any other claims arising prior to the date of this Waiver
and Release.

 

I represent that I am not aware of any claim by
me other than the claims that are released in this Waiver and Release. By execution of this document, I do not waive or release or otherwise
relinquish any legal rights I may have which are attributable to or arise out of acts, omissions, or events of the Company or its Affiliates
which occur after the date of the execution of this Waiver and Release.
