copyright works. 

  

	12.5	 You acknowledge that, except as provided by law, no further remuneration or compensation other than that
provided for in this Contract is or may become due to you in respect of your compliance with this clause. This clause is without prejudice to your rights under the Patents Act 1977.

documents, use your name and do all things which are necessary or desirable for Arrival to obtain for itself or its nominee the full benefit of this clause 12. This power of attorney is given by you as security for your obligations under this clause
12. You acknowledge that a certificate in writing, signed by any director or the secretary of Arrival, that any instrument or act falls within the authority conferred by this Contract shall be conclusive evidence that such is the case so far as any
third party is concerned. 

  

	13.	 PAYMENT IN LIEU OF NOTICE 

 

	13.1	 Notwithstanding clause 2, Arrival may, in its sole and absolute discretion, terminate the Appointment at any
time and with immediate effect by notifying you that Arrival is exercising its right under this clause 13 and that it will make a payment in lieu of notice (Payment in Lieu). This Payment in Lieu will be equal to the basic salary (as at the date of
termination) which you would have been entitled to receive under this Contract during the notice period referred to at clause 2 (or, if notice has already been given, during the remainder of the notice period) less income tax and National Insurance
contributions. For the avoidance of doubt, the Payment in Lieu shall not include any element in relation to: 

  

	 	(a)	 any payment in respect of benefits which you would have been entitled to receive during the period for which

13.1. Nothing in this clause 13 shall prevent Arrival from terminating the Appointment for your breach of this Contract. 

  

	13.3	 Notwithstanding clause 13.1, you shall not be entitled to any Payment in Lieu if Arrival would otherwise have
been entitled to terminate the Appointment without notice in accordance with clause 14. In that case Arrival shall also be entitled to recover from you any Payment in Lieu already made. 

 

	14.	 TERMINATION WITHOUT NOTICE 

 

	14.1	 Arrival may terminate your Appointment with immediate effect without notice and with no liability to make any
further payment to you (other than in respect of amounts accrued due at the date of termination) if you:

to bring you or Arrival into disrepute or is materially adverse to the interests of Arrival;

or 

  

	 	(h)	 are guilty of a serious breach of any rules issued by Arrival from time to time regarding the acceptable use

	14.2	 The rights of Arrival under clause 14.1 are without prejudice to any other rights that it might have at law to
terminate your Appointment or to accept any breach of this Contract by you as having brought the Contract to an end. Any delay by Arrival in exercising its rights to terminate shall not constitute a waiver thereof. 

 

	14.3	 On the termination of this Contract the provisions of Clauses 1, 11, 12, 15 to 17, 22, 24 to 29 (inclusive)
shall continue in full force and effect and any accrued claims or rights of any party at the time of termination shall not be affected by such termination but otherwise the provisions of this Contract shall cease to be effective.

from time to time; (iii) you make or produce any misleading or untrue statement or document as provided above; or (iv) disciplinary proceedings are pending against you.

12.1. Nothing in this clause 12 shall prevent the Company from terminating the Appointment in breach. 

  

	12.3	 Notwithstanding clause 12.1 you shall not be entitled to any Payment in Lieu if the Company would otherwise
have been entitled to terminate the Appointment without notice in accordance with clause 13. In that case the Company shall also be entitled to recover from you any Payment in Lieu already made. 

 

	13.	 TERMINATION WITHOUT NOTICE 

 

	13.1	 The Company may terminate your Appointment with immediate effect without notice and with no liability to make
any further payment to you (other than in respect of amounts accrued due at the date of termination) if you:

	13.2	 The rights of the Company under clause 13.1 are without prejudice to any other rights that it might have at law
to terminate your Appointment or to accept any breach of this agreement by you as having brought the agreement to an end. Any delay by the Company in exercising its rights to terminate shall not constitute a waiver thereof. 

 

	13.3	 On the termination of this agreement the provisions of Clauses 1, 11, 12, 14 to 16 and 20 to 28 (inclusive)
shall continue in full force and effect and any accrued claims or rights of any party at the time of termination shall not be affected by such termination but otherwise the provisions of this agreement shall cease to be effective.

  

	14.	 GARDEN LEAVE 

  

	14.1	 Following service of notice to terminate the Appointment by either party, or if you terminate the Appointment
in breach of contract, the Company may by written notice place you on Garden Leave for the whole or part of the remainder of the Appointment. 

  

	14.2	 During any period of Garden Leave:

	15.1	 On Termination you shall: 

 

	 	(a)	 immediately deliver to the Company all documents, books, materials, records, correspondence, papers and
information (on whatever media and wherever located) relating to the business or affairs of the Company/any Group Company or its business contacts, any keys, credit card and any other property of the Company/any Group Company including any car
provided to you, which is in your possession or under your control; 

  

	 	(b)	 irretrievably delete any information relating to the business of the Company stored on any magnetic or optical
disk or memory and all matter derived from such sources which is in your possession or under your control outside the Company’s premises; and 

  

	 	(c)	 provide a signed statement that you have complied fully with your obligations under this clause 15.1 together
with such reasonable evidence of compliance as the Company may request. 

  

	16.	 POST-TERMINATION RESTRICTIONS 

 

	16.1	 The Company is a new research and development business in the process of developing (i) an innovative
(range extended electric vehicle or REEV) powertrain to be used in commercial vehicles and (ii) trucks and buses which will incorporate such powertrain. The Company intends to (i) manufacture and then sell or lease buses or trucks which
have been fitted with the REEV powertrain and (ii) to license this technology to original equipment manufacturers (OEMS) and other companies in the transport sector. Once development is completed, the Company aims to one of the first businesses
to bring this REEV powertrain buses/trucks/LGVs/HGV’s fitted with the REEV powertrain to the market. As part of your role as Senior Counsel you will have access to Confidential Information (including technical information on the REEV powertrain
and other aspects of the Company’s buses and trucks and ROBORACE), trade secrets and business connections of the Company which would be highly valuable to competitors of the Company (companies who research, develop, sell, license, produce or
market a REEV powertrain and companies who research, develop, sell, license, produce or market buses/trucks/ LGV’s/ HGV’s fitted with a REEV powertrain or Restricted Suppliers) and would jeopardise ongoing developments of the Company and
its position as a market leader for this REEV powertrain and the manufacture and development of buses/trucks/ LGV’s/HGV’s fitted with this REEV powertrain.

behalf or on behalf of, or in conjunction with, any firm, company or person.

	16.7	 Each of the restrictions in this clause 16 is intended to be separate and severable. If any of the restrictions
shall be held to be void but would be valid if part of their wording were deleted, such restriction shall apply with such deletion as may be necessary to make it valid or effective.
