  SECTION 1. EXERCISE.

 

1.1
Method of Exercise. Holder may at any time and from time to time exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by delivering
to the Company the original of this Warrant together with a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached hereto
as Appendix 1 and, unless Holder is exercising this Warrant pursuant to a cashless exercise set forth in Section 1.2, a check, wire transfer
of same-day funds (to an account designated by the Company), or other form of payment acceptable to the Company for the aggregate Warrant
Price for the Shares being purchased. Holder agrees that it shall enter into an accession agreement or any other instrument as may be
reasonably required by the Company to accede to and become a party to the Shareholders’ Agreement, and agrees to be bound by the terms
contained therein.

 

1.2
Cashless Exercise. On any exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of payment of the aggregate Warrant Price in the manner as specified
in Section 1.1 above, but otherwise in accordance with the requirements of Section 1.1, Holder may elect to receive Shares equal to the
value of this Warrant, or portion hereof as to which this Warrant is being exercised. Thereupon, the Company shall issue to the Holder
such number of fully paid and non-assessable Shares as are computed using the following formula:

 

X = Y(A-B)/A

 

where:

 

X = the
number of Shares to be issued to the Holder;

 

 Y = the number of Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised (inclusive of the Shares surrendered to the Company in payment of the aggregate Warrant Price);

 

 A = the Fair Market Value (as determined pursuant to Section 1.3 below) of one Share; and

 

B = the
Warrant Price.

 

1.3
Fair Market Value. Fair market value for each Share (being (“A”)) shall be calculated as follows (in each
case, as applicable on the date of exercise of this Warrant):

 

(a)
if the date of exercise of this Warrant is at any time after the commencement of trading of the Shares over-the-counter but prior
to the date of an IPO (as defined below) or any listing and/or quotation of the Shares (a “Listing”) on the Singapore
Exchange Securities Trading Limited, any exchange or quotation system in the United States or such other exchange or quotation system
as may be agreed in writing between the Company and the Holder (a “Recognised Investment Exchange”), “A”
shall be the price per Share set out in the final prospectus, listing particulars or circular (or its equivalent meaning in relation to
any non-Singapore Recognised Stock Exchange) published in connection with any Listing;

 

(b) if the date of exercise
of this Warrant is at any time on or after a Listing, “A” shall be the average of the closing price of such shares the subject
of a Listing over the thirty (30) calendar day period (or portion thereof if shorter) ending three (3) days prior to the date of delivery
of the Notice of Exercise;

 

    2

     

    

 

(c) if the date of
exercise of this Warrant is at any time on or after the Shares are regularly traded over-the-counter, “A” shall be the
average of the closing sale prices or secondarily the closing bid of such Share over the thirty (30) calendar day period (or portion
thereof if shorter) ending three (3) days prior to the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise; and

 

(d) if the date of exercise
of the Warrant Shares is at any other time other than listed in Section 1.3(a) to 1.3(c) (inclusive), “A” shall be the
Fair Price, which shall be unless otherwise agreed by the Board of Directors of the Company and the Holder prior to delivery of the Notice
of Exercise, the price per Share that the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine in its reasonable good faith judgment, provided
that if the Holder does not agree with the determination of the Board of Directors of the Company, then the Holder shall notify the Board
of Directors of the Company and the Fair Price shall be the price per Share that the Company’s auditor (acting as an expert (the
“Expert”)) shall certify to be in his opinion a fair price for the Shares. In arriving at his opinion the Expert
will value the Shares as at the date the Notice of Exercise is to be given on the basis that the Company operates as a going concern,
as between a willing seller and a willing buyer or otherwise, where applicable, taking into account any impending Listing, IPO, Acquisition
(as defined below) or de-SPAC Transaction (as defined below). The decision of the Expert as to the fair price for the Shares shall be
final and binding and his costs shall be borne as the Expert shall determine.

 

1.4
Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Within a reasonable time after Holder exercises this Warrant in the manner set
forth in Section 1.1 or 1.2 above, if the common stock of the Company are then certificated by the Company, the Company shall deliver
to Holder a certificate representing the Shares issued to Holder upon such exercise and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised
and has not expired, a new warrant of like tenor representing the Shares not so acquired. If the common stock of the Company are not then
certificated by the Company, the Company will deliver to Holder such evidence of the issuance of such Shares to Holder as required or
permitted under the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws or, if there be none, such evidence as Holder may reasonably request.

 

1.5
Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory
in form, substance and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender of this Warrant to the Company for cancellation,
the Company shall, within a reasonable time, execute and deliver to Holder, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor and amount.

 

1.6
Treatment of Warrant Upon Acquisition of Company.

 

(a) Acquisition.
For the purpose of this Warrant, “Acquisition” means any transaction or series of related transactions
involving: (i) the sale, lease, exclusive license, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company;
(ii) any merger or consolidation of the Company into or with another person or entity (other than a merger or consolidation effected
exclusively to change the Company’s domicile), or any other corporate reorganization, in which the members and other holders of
common stock of the Company in their capacity as such immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or reorganization, own less
than a majority of the Company’s (or the surviving or successor entity’s) outstanding voting power (even if such voting power be
limited solely to such matters as required by applicable law) immediately after such merger, consolidation or reorganization; or
(iii) any sale or other transfer by the members and/or other holders of common stock of the Company of common stock representing at
least a majority of the Company’s then-total outstanding combined voting power (even if such
voting power be limited solely to such matters as required by applicable law).

 

    3

     

    

 

(b) de-SPAC Transaction.
For the purpose of this Warrant, “de-SPAC Transaction” means a transaction or series of transactions between
the Company and a special purpose acquisition company (the “SPAC Vehicle”) concerning the sale of all of the
business and assets of the Company by way of merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary of the SPAC Vehicle with and into the Company, with
the Company continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the SPAC Vehicle (such merger being the “First
Merger”) and, immediately following the First Merger, the merger of the Company, as the surviving entity of the First Merger,
with and into another wholly-owned subsidiary of the SPAC Vehicle “Merger Sub 2”) (such merger being the “Second
Merger”), with Merger Sub 2 being the surviving entity and as a result of which:

 

(1) the
securities of Merger Sub 2 shall be listed on the NASDAQ or the New York Stock Exchange;

 

(2) Merger Sub 2
shall have a pro-forma cash balance of at least USD100 million net of all costs and expenses paid or payable in connection with such
de-SPAC Transaction as of the closing of such de-SPAC Transaction; and

 

(3) the implied pre-money
market capitalization of Merger Sub 2 shall be at least USD700 million.

 

(c) Treatment of Warrant
at Acquisition, IPO or de-SPAC Transaction. In the event of an Acquisition or an IPO or a de-SPAC Transaction, in which the consideration
to be received by the Company’s members and other holders of common stock consists solely of cash, solely of Marketable Securities or
a combination of cash and Marketable Securities (a “Cash/Public Acquisition”), and the fair market value of one
Share as determined in accordance with Section 1.3 above would be greater than the Warrant Price in effect on such date immediately prior
to such Cash/Public Acquisition, and Holder has not exercised this Warrant pursuant to Section 1.1 above as to all Shares, then this
Warrant shall automatically be deemed to be Cashless Exercised pursuant to Section 1.2 above as to all Shares effective immediately prior
to and contingent upon the consummation of a Cash/Public Acquisition. In connection with such Cashless Exercise, Holder shall be deemed
to have restated each of the representations and warranties in Section 4 of the Warrant as the date thereof and the Company shall promptly
notify the Holder of the number of Shares (or such other securities) issued upon exercise. In the event of a Cash/Public Acquisition
or an IPO or a de-SPAC Transaction and the Holder following exercise of its rights under this Warrant in full would receive an amount
less than the €300,000 in aggregate out of the proceeds of such Cash/Public Acquisition or IPO or de-SPAC Transaction, then the
Holder shall have the right to elect to waive all rights under this Warrant and instead require the Company to make a cash payment to
the Holder of €300,000 at the same time as paying proceeds to other shareholders participating in such Cash/Public Acquisition
or IPO or de-SPAC Transaction.

 

(d) Upon the closing of
any Acquisition other than a Cash/Public Acquisition defined above, the acquiring, surviving or successor entity shall assume the
obligations of this Warrant, and this Warrant shall thereafter be exercisable for the same securities and/or other property as would
have been paid for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding
on and as of the closing of such Acquisition, subject to further adjustment from time to time in accordance with the provisions of
this Warrant.

 

(e) As used in this Warrant,
“Marketable Securities” means securities meeting all of the following requirements: (i) the issuer thereof is
then subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”), and is then current in its filing of all required reports and other information under the Act and the Exchange Act;
(ii) the common stock or other security of the issuer that would be received by Holder in connection with the Acquisition were Holder
to exercise this Warrant on or prior to the closing thereof is then traded in Trading Market, and (iii) following the closing of such
Acquisition, Holder would not be restricted from publicly re-selling all of the issuer’s common stock and/or other securities that would
be received by Holder in such Acquisition were Holder to exercise or convert this Warrant in full on or prior to the closing of such
Acquisition, except to the extent that any such restriction (x) arises solely under federal or state securities laws, rules or regulations,
and (y) does not extend beyond six (6) months from the closing of such Acquisition.

 SECTION 2. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES AND WARRANT PRICE.

 

2.1
Share Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend or distribution on the outstanding common stock
payable in additional common stock or other units, securities or property (other than cash), then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each
Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without additional cost to Holder, the total number and kind of units, securities and property which
Holder would have received had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend or distribution occurred. If the Company
subdivides the outstanding common stock by reclassification or otherwise into a greater number of common stock, the number of Shares purchasable
hereunder shall be proportionately increased and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased. If the outstanding common stock
are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of common stock, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately
increased and the number of Shares shall be proportionately decreased.

 

2.2
Reclassification, Exchange, Combinations or Substitution. Upon any event whereby all of the outstanding common stock are
reclassified, exchanged, combined, substituted, or replaced for, into, with or by Company securities of a different class and/or series,
then from and after the consummation of such event, this Warrant will be exercisable for the number, class and series of Company securities
that Holder would have received had the Shares been outstanding on and as of the consummation of such event, and subject to further adjustment
thereafter from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly apply
to successive reclassifications, exchanges, combinations, substitutions, replacements or other similar events.

 

2.3
Issuance of Shares below Warrant Price. If, at any time or from time to time after the issuance of this Warrant but prior
to the exercise or conversion hereof, the Company shall issue or sell any shares of Common Stock or any security or obligation which by
its terms is, directly or indirectly, convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, shares of Common Stock, including, without
limitation, any preferred stock and any option, warrant or other subscription or purchase right with respect to Common Stock (“Common
Stock Equivalents”) (each such issuance or sale, a “New Issuance”) at a new issue price that is less
than the Warrant Price then in effect, then, and in each such case, the Warrant Price shall be reduced to such new issue price. For the
avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.3 shall not apply to:

 

(a) any issuance of Common
Stock pursuant to the existing Near Intelligence Holdings Inc. 2022 Employee Restricted Stock Unit Plan, provided that the total issuance
under such program does not exceed 15% of the outstanding common stock of the Company; and

 

(b) any warrants issued to
meet the minimum cash requirement under the merger agreement in connection with the de-SPAC Transaction, provided that such warrants
cumulatively upon conversion, exchange or exercise do not exceed 5% of the outstanding common stock of the Company.

 

2.4
No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but in lieu of such fractional
shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor on the basis of the Warrant Price then in effect.

 

2.5
No Impairment. The Company shall not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through a reorganization, transfer
of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue, or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the
observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed under this Warrant by the Company, but shall at all times in
good faith assist in carrying out all the provisions of this Section 2 and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate
to protect Holder’s rights under this Section against impairment. If the Company takes any action not in good faith affecting the Shares
or its common stock other than as described above that adversely affects Holder’s rights under this Warrant, the Warrant Price shall be
adjusted downward and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted upward in such a manner that the aggregate
Warrant Price of this Warrant is unchanged.

 

2.6
Notice/Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price and/or number of Shares, the Company, at
the Company’s expense, shall notify Holder in writing within a reasonable time setting forth the adjustments to the Warrant Price and/or
number of Shares and facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request from Holder, furnish Holder with
a certificate of a Director of the Company, including computations of such adjustment and the Warrant Price and number of Shares in effect
upon the date of such adjustment.

3.1
Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Holder as follows:

 

(a)  All
Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, and all shares and/or other securities, if any, issuable upon
conversion of the Shares, shall, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free of any
liens and encumbrances except for restrictions on transfer provided for herein, under the Certification of Incorporation and the
Bylaws or under applicable federal and state securities laws. The Company covenants that it shall at all times cause to be reserved
and kept available out of its authorized and unissued share such number of common stock and other securities as will be sufficient
to permit the exercise in full of this Warrant and the conversion of the Shares into such other securities, if any.

 

(b)  The
Company’s capitalization table attached hereto as Schedule 1 is true and complete, in all material respects, as of the Issue
Date.

 

(c) The issuance, sale or
delivery of the Shares in accordance with the terms of this Warrant are not subject to any preemptive right of members or
shareholders of the Company or to any right of first refusal or other right in favor of any person, and shall not trigger any
anti-dilution right, except such as have been waived on or prior to the Issue Date.

 

3.2 Notice of Certain Events.
If the Company proposes at any time to:

 

(a) declare any dividend or
distribution upon the outstanding common stock, whether in cash, property, units, or other securities and whether or not a regular or
periodic cash dividend or distribution (other than a distribution of cash upon the outstanding common stock made solely for the purpose
of permitting the holders thereof to satisfy their respective federal and state tax obligations in respect of the taxable income of the
Company);

 

(b) offer for subscription
or sale pro rata to the holders of the outstanding common stock any additional Company shares of any type, class, series or other
designation (other than pursuant to contractual pre-emptive rights);

 

(c) issue or proposed to
issue any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent at a price below the Warrant Price then in effect;

 

(d) effect any
reclassification, exchange, combination, substitution, reorganization or recapitalization of the outstanding common stock;

Company shall give Holder:

 

(1)  in
the case of the matters referred to in (a) and (c) above, at least seven (7) Business Days prior written notice of the earlier to
occur of the effective date thereof or on which a record will be taken for such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights (and
specifying the date on which the holders of outstanding common stock will be entitled thereto) or for determining rights to vote, if
any;

 

(2)  in
the case of the matters referred to in (d) and (e) above at least seven (7) Business Days prior written notice of the date when the
same will take place (and specifying the date on which the holders of outstanding common stock will be entitled to exchange their
common stock for the securities or other property deliverable upon the occurrence of such event and such reasonable information as
Holder may reasonably require regarding the treatment of this Warrant in connection with such event giving rise to the notice);
and

 

(3) with respect
to the IPO, at least seven (7) Business Days prior written notice of the date on which the Company proposes to file its registration
statement in connection therewith.

 

Company will also provide information requested
by Holder that is reasonably necessary to enable Holder to comply with Holder’s accounting or reporting requirements.

 

    6

     

    

 

  SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OF THE HOLDER.

 

The Holder represents and warrants to the Company
as follows:

 

4.1
Purchase for Own Account. This Warrant and the securities to be acquired upon exercise of this Warrant by Holder are being
acquired for investment for Holder’s account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the public
resale or distribution within the meaning of the Act. Holder also represents that it has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring
this Warrant or the Shares.

 

4.2
Disclosure of Information. Holder is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has received or
has had full access to all the information it considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment decision with respect
to the acquisition of this Warrant and its underlying securities. Holder further has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers
from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of this Warrant and its underlying securities and to obtain additional
information (to the extent the Company possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary
to verify any information furnished to Holder or to which Holder has access.

 

4.3
Investment Experience. Holder understands that the purchase of this Warrant and its underlying securities involves substantial
risk. Holder has experience as an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that Holder can bear the
economic risk of such Holder’s investment in this Warrant and its underlying securities and has such knowledge and experience in financial
or business matters that Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in this Warrant and its underlying securities
and/or has a preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company and certain of its officers, directors or controlling persons
of a nature and duration that enables Holder to be aware of the character, business acumen and financial circumstances of such persons.

 

4.4
Accredited Investor Status. Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated
under the Act.

 

4.5
The Act. Holder understands that this Warrant and the Shares issuable upon exercise hereof have not been registered under
the Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the
Holder’s investment intent as expressed herein. Holder understands that this Warrant and the Shares issued upon any exercise hereof must
be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Act and qualified under applicable state securities laws, or unless exemption
from such registration and qualification are otherwise available. Holder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the
Act.

 

4.6
Rights as Member. Without limiting any provision of this Warrant, Holder agrees that, as a Holder of this Warrant, it will
not have any rights as a member of the Company unless and until the exercise of this Warrant, and then only with respect to the Shares
issued upon such exercise. Upon exercise of this Warrant, each of the Company and the Holder agrees that Holder shall automatically and
without further action by any person be admitted as a member of the Company under and be subject to the Certificate of Incorporation and
the Bylaws with respect to the Shares issued upon such exercise.

 

    7

before 6:00 PM, Eastern time, on the Expiration Date and shall be void thereafter.

 

(b) Automatic Cashless Exercise
upon Expiration. In the event that, upon the Expiration Date, the fair market value of one Shares (or other security issuable upon
the exercise hereof) as determined in accordance with Section 1.3 above is greater than the Warrant Price in effect on such date, then
this Warrant shall automatically be deemed on and as of such date to be exercised pursuant to Section 1.2 above as to all Shares (or
such other securities) for which it shall not previously have been exercised, and the Company shall, within a reasonable time, deliver
a certificate representing the Shares (or such other securities) issued upon such exercise to Holder.

 

5.2
Legends. Each certificate evidencing Shares, if any (and each certificate evidencing securities issued upon conversion of
any Shares, if any) shall be imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

 

THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE
HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY
STATE AND, EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THAT CERTAIN WARRANT TO PURCHASE CORPORATION INTERESTS ISSUED BY THE ISSUER TO HARBERT EUROPEAN SPECIALTY
LENDING COMPANY II S.À. R.L. DATED NOVEMBER 3, 2022, MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS AND UNTIL
REGISTERED UNDER SAID ACT AND LAWS OR IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER, SUCH OFFER, SALE, PLEDGE OR OTHER TRANSFER IS
EXEMPT FROM SUCH REGISTRATION.

 

5.3
Compliance with Securities Laws on Transfer. This Warrant and the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (and the
securities issuable, directly or indirectly, upon conversion of the Shares, if any) may not be transferred or assigned in whole or in
part except in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws by the transferor and the transferee (including, without limitation,
the delivery of investment representation letters and legal opinions reasonably satisfactory to the Company, as reasonably requested by
the Company). The Company shall not require Holder to provide an opinion of counsel if the transfer is to an affiliate of Holder, provided
that any such transferee is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Act. Additionally, the
Company shall also not require an opinion of counsel if there is no material question as to the availability of Rule 144 promulgated under
the Act.

 

5.4
Transfer Procedure. Alter receipt by Holder of the executed Warrant, Holder may transfer all or part of this Warrant to
one or more of Holder’s affiliates (each, an “Holder Affiliate”), by execution of an Assignment substantially
in the form of Appendix 2. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.3 and upon providing the Company with written notice, Holder, any such
Holder Affiliate and any subsequent Holder, may transfer all or part of this Warrant or the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
to any other transferee, provided, however, in connection with any such transfer, the Holder Affiliate(s) or any subsequent Holder will
give the Company notice of the portion of the Warrant being transferred with the name, address and taxpayer identification number of the
transferee and Holder will surrender this Warrant to the Company for reissuance to the transferee(s) (and Holder if applicable). Notwithstanding
any contrary provision herein, at all times prior to the IPO, Holder may not, without the Company’s prior written consent, transfer this
Warrant or any portion hereof, or any Shares issued upon any exercise hereof, to any person or entity who directly competes with the Company,

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

This Employment Agreement
(“Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between Near Intelligence, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the “Company”), and Anil Mathews (“Employee”) effective as of _________________,
2022 (the “Effective Date”).

 

1. Employment.
During the Employment Period (as defined in Section 3), the Company shall continue to employ Employee, and Employee shall continue
to serve, as the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and in such other position or positions as may be assigned from time
to time by the Company or the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”). Employee shall report directly
to the Board.

 

2. Duties
and Responsibilities of Employee.

 

(a) During
the Employment Period, Employee shall devote Employee’s best efforts and full business time and attention to the businesses of the
Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries as may exist from time to time, including the Company (collectively, the Company and
its direct and indirect subsidiaries are referred to as the “Company Group”) as may be requested by the Company
or the Board from time to time.  Employee’s duties and responsibilities shall include those normally incidental to the position(s)
identified in Section 1, as well as such additional duties as may be assigned to Employee by the Company or the Board from time
to time, which duties and responsibilities may include providing services to other members of the Company Group in addition to the Company.
Employee may, without violating this Section 2(a), (i) as a passive investment, own publicly traded securities in such form or
manner as will not require any services by Employee in the operation of the entities in which such securities are owned; (ii) engage in
charitable and civic activities; or (iii) with the prior written consent of the Board, engage in other personal and passive investment
activities, in each case of (i), (ii) and (iii), so long as such ownership, interests or activities do not interfere with Employee’s
ability to fulfill Employee’s duties and responsibilities under this Agreement and are not inconsistent with Employee’s obligations
to any member of the Company Group or competitive with the business of any member of the Company Group.

 

(b) Employee
hereby represents and warrants that Employee is not the subject of, or a party to, any non-competition, non-solicitation, non-disclosure,
restrictive covenant or other agreement, obligation or restriction that would prohibit Employee from executing this Agreement or fully
performing each of Employee’s duties and responsibilities hereunder, or would in any manner, directly or indirectly, limit or affect
any of the duties and responsibilities that may now or in the future be assigned to Employee hereunder. Employee expressly acknowledges
and agrees that Employee is strictly prohibited from using or disclosing any confidential information belonging to any prior employer
or other third party in the course of performing services for any member of the Company Group, and Employee promises that Employee shall
not do so. Employee shall not introduce documents or other materials containing confidential information of any prior employer or other
third party to the premises or property (including computers and computer systems) of any member of the Company Group.

 

     

     

    

 

(c) Employee
owes each member of the Company Group fiduciary duties (including (i) duties of care, loyalty and disclosure and (ii) such fiduciary duties
that an officer of the Company would have if the Company were a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware), and the
obligations described in this Agreement are in addition to, and not in lieu of, the obligations Employee owes each member of the Company
Group under statutory and common law.

 

(d) Employee’s
principal place of employment shall continue to be in Pasadena, California; provided that Employee may be required to travel from time
to time for business purposes.

 

3. Term
of Employment. The term of Employee’s employment under this Agreement shall commence on Effective Date and continue until
Employee’s employment is terminated in accordance with Section 7. The period from the Effective Date through the termination
of Employee’s employment pursuant to this Agreement, regardless of the time or reason for such termination, shall be referred to
herein as the “Employment Period.”

 

4. Compensation.

 

(a) Base
Salary. During the Employment Period, the Company shall pay to Employee an annualized base salary of $400,000 in consideration for
Employee’s services under this Agreement, payable in substantially equal installments in conformity with the Company’s customary
payroll practices for similarly situated employees as may exist from time to time, but no less frequently than monthly. Employee’s
Base Salary shall be subject to periodic review by the Board (or a committee thereof), and may be adjusted from time to time. The base
salary as determined herein and adjusted from time to time shall constitute “Base Salary” for purposes of this
Agreement.

 

(b) Annual
Bonus. During the Employment Period, Employee shall be eligible for discretionary bonus compensation (the “Annual Bonus”)
with a target amount of $200,000 (the “Target Annual Bonus”) for each complete calendar year that Employee is
employed by the Company hereunder. The performance targets that must be achieved in order to be eligible for certain bonus levels shall
be established by the Board (or a committee thereof) for each applicable calendar year (the “Bonus Year”) and
provided to Employee. Each Annual Bonus, if any, shall be paid as soon as administratively feasible after the Board (or a committee thereof)
determines whether the applicable performance targets for the applicable Bonus Year have been achieved. Notwithstanding anything in this
Section 4(b) to the contrary, no Annual Bonus, if any, or any portion thereof, shall be payable for any Bonus Year unless Employee
remains continuously employed by the Company from the Effective Date through the date on which such Annual Bonus is paid.

 

    2

     

    

 

5. Business
Expenses. Subject to Section 24, the Company shall reimburse Employee for Employee’s reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
business-related expenses actually incurred in the performance of Employee’s duties under this Agreement so long as such expenses
are consistent with the Company’s expense policy as in effect from time to time and Employee timely submits all documentation for
such expenses, as required by such policy. Any such reimbursement of expenses shall be made by the Company upon or as soon as practicable
following receipt of such documentation (but in any event not later than the close of Employee’s taxable year following the taxable
year in which the expense is incurred by Employee). In no event shall any reimbursement be made to Employee for any expenses incurred
after the date of Employee’s termination of employment with the Company.

 

6. Benefits.
During the Employment Period, Employee shall be eligible to participate in the
same benefit plans and programs in which other similarly situated Company employees are eligible to participate, subject to the terms
and conditions of the applicable plans and programs in effect from time to time. The Company shall not, however, by reason of this Section
6, be obligated to institute, maintain, or refrain from changing,
amending, or discontinuing, any such plan or policy.

 

7. Termination
of Employment.

 

(a) Company’s
Right to Terminate Employee’s Employment for Cause. The Company shall have the right to terminate Employee’s employment
hereunder at any time for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean, as determined by the Board:

 

(i) Employee’s
commission of, indictment for, or plea of guilty or no contest to, a felony (or state law equivalent) or a crime involving dishonesty
or moral turpitude or the commission of any other act involving willful malfeasance or breach of fiduciary duty with respect to the Company;

 

(ii) Employee’s
substantial and repeated failure to perform Employee’s duties hereunder or to follow any lawful directive from the Company;

 

(iii) Employee’s
conduct that brings or is reasonably likely to bring the Company or any member of the Company Group negative publicity or into public
disgrace, embarrassment, or disrepute;

 

(iv) Employee’s
fraud, theft, embezzlement, gross negligence, or willful misconduct with respect to any member of the Company Group;

 

(v) Employee’s
violation of the Company Group’s written policies or codes of conduct, including written policies related to discrimination, harassment,
retaliation, performance of illegal or unethical activities, or ethical misconduct; or

 

(vi) Employee’s
breach of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any non-competition, non-solicitation, no-hire, or confidentiality covenant between
Employee and the Company (including Sections 9 through 13 hereof).

 

    3

     

    

 

(b) Company’s
Right to Terminate for Convenience. The Company shall have the right to terminate Employee’s employment for convenience at any
time and for any reason, or no reason at all, upon written notice to Employee.

 

(c) Employee’s
Right to Terminate for Good Reason. Employee shall have the right to terminate Employee’s employment with the Company at any
time for Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean:

 

(i) a
material diminution in Employee’s Base Salary (other than a general reduction in base salaries that affects all similarly situated
executives);

 

(ii) a
material diminution of Employee’s authority, duties or responsibilities with the Company or its subsidiaries; provided, however,
that if Employee is serving as an officer or member of the board of directors (or similar governing body) of any member of the Company
Group or any other entity in which a member of the Company Group holds an equity interest, in no event shall the removal of Employee as
an officer or board member, regardless of the reason for such removal, constitute Good Reason; or

 

(iii) the
relocation of the geographic location of Employee’s assigned Company office location by more than fifty (50) miles from the location
of Employee’s then-current assigned Company office location (provided, that, the following shall not constitute Good Reason: (A)
Employee’s travel for business in the course of performing the Employee’s duties to the Company; (B) Employee working remotely;
or (C) the Company requiring Employee to report to the office at Employee’s assigned Company office location (instead of working
remotely)).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Section 7(c) or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any assertion by Employee of a termination
for Good Reason shall not be effective unless all of the following conditions are satisfied: (A) the condition described in Section
7(c)(i), (ii), or (iii) giving rise to Employee’s termination of employment must have arisen without Employee’s
consent; (B) Employee must provide written notice to the Board of the existence of such condition(s) within thirty (30) days after the
initial occurrence of such condition(s); (C) the condition(s) specified in such notice must remain uncorrected for thirty (30) days following
the Board’s receipt of such written notice; and (D) the date of Employee’s termination of employment must occur within sixty
(60) days after the initial occurrence of the condition(s) specified in such notice. Further and notwithstanding the foregoing, no suspension
of Employee or a reduction in Employee’s authority, duties and responsibilities in conjunction with any leave required, or other
action taken, by the Company as part of any investigation into alleged wrongdoing by Employee shall give rise to Good Reason.

 

(d) Death
or Disability. Upon the death or Disability of Employee, Employee’s employment with the Company shall automatically (and without
any further action by any person or entity) terminate with no further obligation under this Agreement of either party hereunder. For purposes
of this Agreement, a “Disability” shall exist if Employee is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity
by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment. The determination of whether Employee has a Disability shall be
determined by the Board, and the Board may rely on any determination that Employee is disabled for purposes of benefits under any long-term
disability plan in which Employee participates that is maintained by the Company or any of its affiliates.

 

    4

     

    

 

(e) Employee’s
Right to Terminate for Convenience. In addition to Employee’s right to terminate Employee’s employment for Good Reason,
Employee shall have the right to terminate Employee’s employment with the Company for convenience at any time and for any other
reason, or no reason at all, upon thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to the Company; provided, however, that
if Employee has provided notice to the Company of Employee’s termination of employment, the Company may determine, in its sole discretion,
that such termination shall be effective on any date prior to the effective date of termination provided in such notice (and, if such
earlier date is so required, then it shall not change the basis for Employee’s termination of employment nor be construed or interpreted
as a termination of employment pursuant to Section 7(b)) and any requirement to continue salary or benefits shall cease as of such
earlier date.

 

(f) Effect
of Termination.

 

(i) If
Employee’s employment hereunder is terminated by the Company without Cause pursuant to Section 7(b), or is terminated by
Employee for Good Reason pursuant to Section 7(c) (each, a “Qualifying Termination”), then so long as
(and only if) Employee: (A) executes on or before the Release Expiration Date (as defined below), and does not revoke within any time
provided by the Company to do so, a separation agreement and release of all claims in a form provided to Employee by the Company (the
“Release”), which Release shall, among other things, release each member of the Company Group and their respective
affiliates, and the foregoing entities’ respective shareholders, members, partners, officers, managers, directors, fiduciaries,
employees, representatives, agents and benefit plans (and fiduciaries of such plans) from any and all claims, including any and all causes
of action arising out of Employee’s employment and relationship with the Company and any other member of the Company Group or the
termination of such employment or relationship, but excluding all claims to severance payments Employee may have under this Section
7; and (B) abides by the terms of each of Sections 9, 10 and 11 and any other post-employment obligations that
Employee may owe to any member of the Company Group, then:

 

(A) The
Company shall make substantially equal installment payments payable in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices,
but no less frequently than monthly, over the 18-month period (the “Severance Period”) immediately following
the date on which Employee’s employment terminates (the “Termination Date”)to Employee, which are in the
aggregate equal to the sum of: (i) 18 months’ worth of Employee’s Base Salary for the year in which such termination occurs;
and (ii) the product of 1.5 and the Employee’s Target Annual Bonus for the year in which such termination occurs (such total severance
payments pursuant to (i) and (ii) being referred to as the “Severance Payment”); provided, however,
that the first installment of the Severance Payment shall not be made until the Company’s first regularly scheduled pay date following
the 60th day following the Termination Date and such first payment shall include any amounts that would otherwise have been payable between
the Termination Date and the date of such first payment (without interest).

 

    5

     

    

 

(B) During
the portion, if any, of the Severance Period that Employee is eligible to and elects to continue coverage for Employee and Employee’s
spouse and eligible dependents, if any, under the Company’s group health plans pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation
Act of 1985 (“COBRA”), the Company shall, at its option pay or reimburse Employee on a monthly basis for the
difference between the amount Employee pays to effect and continue such coverage and the employee contribution amount that similarly situated
employees of the Company pay for the same or similar coverage under such group health plans (the “COBRA Benefit”).
Each payment of the COBRA Benefit shall be paid on or about the Company’s first regularly scheduled pay date in the calendar month
immediately following the calendar month in which Employee submits to the Company documentation of the applicable premium payment having
been paid by Employee, which documentation shall be submitted by Employee to the Company within thirty (30) days following the date on
which the applicable premium payment is paid. Employee shall be eligible to receive such reimbursement payments until the earliest of:
(i) the last day of the Severance Period; (ii) the date Employee is no longer eligible to receive COBRA continuation coverage; and (iii)
the date on which Employee becomes eligible to receive coverage under a group health plan sponsored by another employer (and any such
eligibility shall be promptly reported to the Company by Employee); provided, however, that the election of COBRA continuation
coverage and the payment of any premiums due with respect to such COBRA continuation coverage shall remain Employee’s sole responsibility,
and the Company shall not assume any obligation for payment of any such premiums relating to such COBRA continuation coverage.

 

(ii) This
Section 7(f)(ii) shall apply if the Employee’s Qualifying Termination occurs during the one-year period immediately
following a Change in Control (as defined below) (a “CIC Qualifying Termination”). If a CIC Qualifying Termination
occurs, Employee shall be entitled to the benefits set forth in Section 7(f)(i), except that:

 

(A) the
Severance Payment shall be payable in a lump sum on the 60th day following the Termination Date;

 

(B)
All equity awards under the Equity Incentive Plan (as defined below) held by the Employee as of the Termination Date shall become vested
as of the Termination Date, with any performance-based awards vesting as if the target requirements have been or will be attained; and

 

(C) the
Severance Period for purposes of the COBRA Benefit in Section 7(f)(i)(B) shall be the 18-month period following the Termination
Date.

 

“Change
in Control” shall have the meaning set forth in the Near Intelligence, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (as may be amended,
modified, or supplemented from time to time) (the “Equity Incentive Plan”).

 

    6

     

    

 

(iii) If
the Release is not executed and returned to the Company on or before the Release Expiration Date (as defined below), and the required
revocation period has not fully expired without revocation of the Release by Employee, then Employee shall not be entitled to any portion
of the Severance Payment or the COBRA Benefit. As used herein, the “Release Expiration Date” is that date that
is twenty-one (21) days following the date upon which the Company delivers the Release to Employee (which shall occur no later than seven
(7) days after the Termination Date) or, in the event that such termination of employment is determined by the Company to be “in
connection with an exit incentive or other employment termination program” (as such phrase is defined in the Age Discrimination
in Employment Act of 1967), the date that is forty-five (45) days following such delivery date.

 

(g) After-Acquired
Evidence. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Company determines that Employee
is eligible to receive the Severance Payment pursuant to Section 7(f) but, during the Severance Period, the Company subsequently
acquires evidence or determines that: (i) Employee has failed to abide by the terms of Sections 9, 10 or 11 or any
other post-employment obligations that Employee may owe to any member of the Company Group; or (ii) a Cause condition existed prior to
the Termination Date that, had the Company been fully aware of such condition, would have given the Company the right to terminate Employee’s
employment pursuant to Section 7(a), then the Company shall have the right to cease the payment of any future installments of the
Severance Payment and COBRA Benefit and Employee shall promptly return to the Company the pre-tax value of all Severance Payments received
by Employee and the pre-tax value of all payments by the Company with respect to the COBRA Benefit.

 

8. Disclosures.

 

(a) Employee
hereby represents and warrants that as of the Effective Date, there exist (i) no actual or potential Conflicts of Interest and (ii) no
current or pending lawsuits, claims or arbitrations filed by, against or involving Employee or any trust or vehicle owned or controlled
by Employee.

 

(b) Promptly
(and in any event, within three (3) business days) upon becoming aware of (i) any actual or potential Conflict of Interest or (ii) any
lawsuit, claim or arbitration filed by, against or involving Employee or any trust or vehicle owned or controlled by Employee, in each
case, Employee shall disclose such actual or potential Conflict of Interest or such lawsuit, claim or arbitration to the Board.

 

    7

     

    

 

(c) A
“Conflict of Interest” shall exist when Employee engages in, or plans to engage in, any activities, associations,
or interests that conflict with, or create an appearance of a conflict with, Employee’s duties, responsibilities, authorities, or
obligations for and to any member of the Company Group.

 

9. Confidentiality.
In the course of Employee’s employment with the Company and the performance of Employee’s duties on behalf of the Company
Group hereunder, Employee will be provided with, and will have access to, Confidential Information (as defined below). In consideration
of Employee’s receipt and access to such Confidential Information, and as a condition of Employee’s employment, Employee shall
comply with this Section 9.

 

(a) Both
during the Employment Period and thereafter, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, Employee shall not disclose any Confidential
Information to any person or entity and shall not use any Confidential Information except for the benefit of the Company Group. Employee
acknowledges and agrees that Employee would inevitably use and disclose Confidential Information in violation of this Section 9
if Employee were to violate any of the covenants set forth in Section 10. Employee shall follow all Company Group policies and
protocols regarding the security of all documents and other materials containing Confidential Information (regardless of the medium on
which Confidential Information is stored). Except to the extent required for the performance of Employee’s duties on behalf of the
Company Group, Employee shall not remove from facilities of any member of the Company Group any information, property, equipment, drawings,
notes, reports, manuals, invention records, computer software, customer information, or other data or materials that relate in any way
to the Confidential Information, whether paper or electronic and whether produced by Employee or obtained by the Company Group. The covenants
of this Section 9(a) shall apply to all Confidential Information, whether now known or later to become known to Employee during
the period that Employee is employed by or affiliated with the Company or any other member of the Company Group.

 

(b) Notwithstanding
any provision of Section 9(a) to the contrary, Employee may make the following disclosures and uses of Confidential Information:

 

(i) disclosures
to other employees, officers or directors of a member of the Company Group who have a need to know the information in connection with
the businesses of the Company Group;

 

(ii) disclosures
to customers and suppliers when, in the reasonable and good faith belief of Employee, such disclosure is in connection with Employee’s
performance of Employee’s duties under this Agreement and is in the best interests of the Company Group;

 

(iii) disclosures
and uses that are approved in writing by the Board; or

 

(iv) disclosures
to a person or entity that has (x) been retained by a member of the Company Group to provide services to one or more members of the Company
Group and (y) agreed in writing to abide by the terms of a confidentiality agreement.

 

    8

     

    

 

(c) Upon
the expiration of the Employment Period, and at any other time upon request of the Company, Employee shall promptly and permanently surrender
and deliver to the Company all documents (including electronically stored information) and all copies thereof and all other materials
of any nature containing or pertaining to all Confidential Information and any other Company Group property (including any Company Group-issued
computer, mobile device or other equipment) in Employee’s possession, custody or control and Employee shall not retain any such
documents or other materials or property of the Company Group. Within ten (10) days of any such request, Employee shall certify to the
Company in writing that all such documents, materials and property have been returned to the Company.

 

(d) “Confidential
Information” means all confidential, competitively valuable, non-public or proprietary information that is conceived, made,
developed or acquired by or disclosed to Employee (whether conveyed orally or in writing), individually or in conjunction with others,
during the period that Employee is employed by or otherwise affiliated with the Company or any other member of the Company Group (whether
during business hours or otherwise and whether on the Company’s premises or otherwise) including: (i) technical information of any
member of the Company Group, its affiliates, its investors, customers, vendors, suppliers or other third parties, including computer programs,
software, databases, data, ideas, know-how, formulae, compositions, processes, discoveries, machines, inventions (whether patentable or
not), designs, developmental or experimental work, techniques, improvements, work in process, research or test results, original works
of authorship, training programs and procedures, diagrams, charts, business and product development plans, and similar items; (ii) information
relating to any member of the Company Group’s businesses or properties, products or services (including all such information relating
to corporate opportunities, operations, future plans, methods of doing business, business plans, strategies for developing business and
market share, research, financial and sales data, pricing terms, evaluations, opinions, interpretations, acquisition prospects, the identity
of customers or acquisition targets or their requirements, the identity of key contacts within customers’ organizations or within
the organization of acquisition prospects, or marketing and merchandising techniques, prospective names and marks) or pursuant to which
any member of the Company Group owes a confidentiality obligation; (iii) other valuable, confidential information and trade secrets of
any member of the Company Group, its affiliates, its customers or other third parties; and (iv) this Agreement. Moreover, all documents,
videotapes, written presentations, brochures, drawings, memoranda, notes, records, files, correspondence, manuals, models, specifications,
computer programs, e-mail, voice mail, electronic databases, maps, drawings, architectural renditions, models and all other writings or
materials of any type including or embodying any of such information, ideas, concepts, improvements, discoveries, inventions and other
similar forms of expression are and shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company or the other applicable member of the Company
Group and be subject to the same restrictions on disclosure applicable to all Confidential Information pursuant to this Agreement. For
purposes of this Agreement, Confidential Information shall not include any information that (A) is or becomes generally available to the
public other than as a result of a disclosure or wrongful act of Employee or any of Employee’s agents; (B) was available to Employee
on a non-confidential basis before its disclosure by a member of the Company Group; (C) becomes available to Employee on a non-confidential
basis from a source other than a member of the Company Group; provided, however, that such source is not bound by a confidentiality
agreement with, or other obligation with respect to confidentiality to, a member of the Company Group; or (D) is required to be disclosed
by applicable law.

 

    9

     

    

 

(e) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict Employee from lawfully: (i) initiating communications directly with,
cooperating with, providing information to, causing information to be provided to, or otherwise assisting in an investigation by, any
governmental authority regarding a possible violation of any law; (ii) responding to any inquiry or legal process directed to Employee
from any such governmental authority; (iii) testifying, participating or otherwise assisting in any action or proceeding by any such governmental
authority relating to a possible violation of law; or (iv) making any other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions
of any applicable law. Additionally, pursuant to the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, an individual shall not be held criminally
or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (A) is made (1) in confidence
to a federal, state or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney and (2) solely for the purpose of reporting
or investigating a suspected violation of law; (B) is made to the individual’s attorney in relation to a lawsuit for retaliation
against the individual for reporting a suspected violation of law; or (C) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit
or proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Nothing in this Agreement requires Employee to obtain prior authorization before engaging
in any conduct described in this paragraph, or to notify the Company that Employee has engaged in any such conduct.

 

10. Non-Competition;
Non-Solicitation.

 

(a) The
Company shall provide Employee access to Confidential Information for use only during the Employment Period, and Employee acknowledges
and agrees that the Company Group will be entrusting Employee, in Employee’s unique and special capacity, with developing the goodwill
of the Company Group, and in consideration of the Company providing Employee with access to Confidential Information, clients and customers
and as an express incentive for the Company to enter into this Agreement and employ Employee, Employee has voluntarily agreed to the covenants
set forth in this Section 10. Employee agrees and acknowledges that the limitations and restrictions set forth herein, including
geographical and temporal restrictions on certain competitive activities, are reasonable in all respects, do not interfere with public
interests, will not cause Employee undue hardship, and are material and substantial parts of this Agreement intended and necessary to
prevent unfair competition and to protect the Company Group’s Confidential Information, goodwill and legitimate business interests.

 

    10

     

    

 

(b) During
the Prohibited Period (as defined below), Employee shall not, without the prior written approval of the Board, directly or indirectly,
for Employee or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person or entity of any nature:

 

(i) engage
in or participate in (or prepare to engage in or participate in) the Business within the Market Area, which prohibition shall prevent
Employee from directly or indirectly: (A) owning, investing in, controlling, managing, operating, participating in, lending Employee’s
name to, contributing to, providing assistance to or being an officer or director of, any person or entity engaged in or planning to engage
in the Business in the Market Area; or (B) joining, becoming an employee or consultant of, or otherwise rendering services for or being
affiliated with or engaged by, any person or entity engaged in, or planning to engage in, the Business in the Market Area in any capacity
(with respect to this clause (B)) in which Employee’s customer or client relationships, duties or responsibilities are the same
as or similar to the customer or client relationships, duties or responsibilities that Employee had on behalf of any member of the Company
Group;

 

(ii) appropriate
or interfere with or attempt to appropriate or interfere with any Business Opportunity of, or relating to, any member of the Company Group
located in the Market Area;

 

(iii) solicit,
canvass, approach, encourage, entice or induce any customer, vendor or supplier of any member of the Company Group with whom Employee
had contact (including oversight responsibility) or learned Confidential Information about during Employee’s employment with any
member of the Company Group to cease or lessen such customer’s, vendor’s or supplier’s business with any member of the
Company Group or otherwise adversely affect such relationship, or attempt to do any of the foregoing; or

 

(iv) solicit,
canvass, approach, encourage, entice or induce any employee or contractor of any member of the Company Group to terminate his, her or
its employment or engagement with any member of the Company Group, or hire or retain any such employee or contractor or take any action
to materially assist or aid any other person, firm, corporation or other entity in identifying, hiring or soliciting any such employee
or contractor. An employee or contractor shall be deemed covered by this Section while so employed or retained and for a period of six
(6) months thereafter.

 

    11

     

    

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing,
nothing herein shall limit Employee’s ability to accept employment and perform work with any person or entity where (x) the services
provided by Employee to such person or entity are not, and do not directly or indirectly benefit any division or business of such person
or entity that is, in competition with the Business or any other material business in which a member of the Company Group has made a significant
financial investment on or prior to the date of termination to be engaged in on or after such date and (y) Employee does not own more
than 2% of the equity securities of such person or entity.

 

(c) Because
of the difficulty of measuring economic losses to the Company Group as a result of a breach or threatened breach of the covenants set
forth in Section 9 and in this Section 10, and because of the immediate and irreparable damage that would be caused to the
members of the Company Group for which they would have no other adequate remedy, the Company and each other member of the Company Group
shall be entitled to enforce the foregoing covenants, in the event of a breach or threatened breach, by injunctions and restraining orders
from any court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of showing any actual damages or that money damages would not afford an
adequate remedy, and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security. The aforementioned equitable relief shall not be the
Company’s or any other member of the Company Group’s exclusive remedy for a breach but instead shall be in addition to all
other rights and remedies available to the Company and each other member of the Company Group at law and equity. Employee further agrees
that Employee will not challenge the reasonableness or enforceability of any of the covenants set forth in this Section 10, and
that Employee will reimburse the Company Group for all costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with
any action to enforce any of the provisions of this Section 10 if Employee challenges the reasonableness or enforceability of any
of the provisions of this Section 10.

 

(d) The
covenants in this Section 10, and each provision and portion hereof, are severable and separate, and the unenforceability of any
specific covenant (or portion thereof) shall not affect the provisions of any other covenant (or portion thereof). Moreover, in the event
any arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the scope, time or territorial restrictions set forth are unreasonable,
then it is the intention of the parties that such restrictions be enforced to the fullest extent which such arbitrator or court deems
reasonable, and this Agreement shall thereby be reformed. To the extent any dispute arising under this Section 10 is subject to
the laws of the State of California, any provisions set forth herein that would be deemed unenforceable after giving effect to such laws
will not apply.

 

(e) The
following terms shall have the following meanings:

 

(i) “Business”
shall mean the business and operations that are the same or similar to those performed by the Company and any other member of the Company
Group for which Employee provides services or about which Employee obtains Confidential Information during the Employment Period, which
business and operations include, but are not limited to, the collection, use or licensing of software, data products and related services.

 

(ii) “Business
Opportunity” shall mean any actual or potential commercial, investment or other business opportunity of any member of the
Company Group or relating to the Business about which Employee learned Confidential Information during Employee’s employment with
any member of the Company Group.

 

(iii) “Market
Area” shall mean any locale of any country in which any member of the Company Group conducts business or plans to conduct
business at any time during the Employment Period or prior to the Termination Date.

 

(iv) “Prohibited
Period” shall mean the period during which Employee is employed by any member of the Company Group and continuing for a
period of 12 months following the date that Employee is no longer employed by any member of the Company Group.

 

    12

     

    

 

(f) Employee
undertakes and agrees that following the date that Employee is no longer employed by any member of the Company Group and prior to entering
into any relationship with any other party to serve as an officer, director, employee, consultant, partner, advisor, joint-venturer or
in any other capacity with any other person or entity, Employee shall disclose to such other party the terms of the restrictive covenants
set forth herein and hereby consents to the Company making any related disclosures.

 

11. Ownership
of Intellectual Property.

 

(a) Employee
agrees that the Company shall own, and Employee shall (and hereby does) assign, all right, title and interest relating to any and all
inventions (whether or not patentable), discoveries, developments, improvements, innovations, works of authorship, mask works, designs,
know-how, ideas, formulae, processes, techniques, data and information authored, created, contributed to, made or conceived or reduced
to practice, in whole or in part, by Employee during the period in which Employee is or has been employed by or affiliated with the Company
or any other member of the Company Group, whether or not registerable under U.S. law or the laws of other jurisdictions, that either (a)
relate, at the time of conception, reduction to practice, creation, derivation or development, to any member of the Company Group’s
businesses or actual or anticipated research or development, or (b) were developed on any amount of the Company’s or any other member
of the Company Group’s time or with the use of any member of the Company Group’s equipment, supplies, facilities or Confidential
Information (all of the foregoing collectively referred to herein as “Company
Intellectual Property”), and Employee shall promptly disclose all Company Intellectual Property to the Company in
writing. To support Employee’s disclosure obligation herein, Employee shall keep and maintain adequate and current written records
of all Company Intellectual Property made by Employee (solely or jointly with others) during the period in which Employee is or has been
employed by or affiliated with the Company or any other member of the Company Group in such form as may be specified from time to time
by the Company. These records shall be available to, and remain the sole property of, the Company at all times. For the elimination of
doubt, the foregoing ownership and assignment provisions apply without limitation to patent rights, copyrights, trade secret rights, mask
work rights, trademark rights, and all other intellectual and industrial property rights of any sort throughout the world.

 

(b) All
of Employee’s works of authorship and associated copyrights created during the period in which Employee is employed by or affiliated
with the Company or any other member of the Company Group and in the scope of Employee’s employment or engagement shall be deemed
to be “works made for hire” within the meaning of the Copyright Act. To the extent any right, title and interest in and to
Company Intellectual Property cannot be assigned by Employee to the Company, Employee shall grant, and does hereby grant, to the Company
Group an exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free, transferable, irrevocable, worldwide license (with rights to sublicense through multiple
tiers of sublicensees) to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, import, export, reproduce, practice and otherwise commercialize
such rights, title and interest.

 

(c) Employee
recognizes that this Agreement will not be deemed to require assignment of any invention or intellectual property that Employee developed
entirely on Employee’s own time without using the equipment, supplies, facilities, trade secrets, or Confidential Information of
any member of the Company Group. In addition, this Agreement does not apply to any invention that qualifies fully for protection from
assignment to the Company under any specifically applicable state law or regulation.

 

    13

     

    

 

(d) To
the extent allowed by law, this Section applies to all rights that may be known as or referred to as “moral rights,” “artist’s
rights,” “droit moral,” or the like, including without limitation those rights set forth in 17 U.S.C. §106A (collectively,
“Moral Rights”). To the extent Employee retain any Moral Rights under applicable law, Employee hereby ratifies and
consents to any action that may be taken with respect to such Moral Rights by or authorized by the Company or any member of the Company
Group, and Employee hereby waives and agrees not to assert any Moral Rights with respect to such Moral Rights. Employee shall confirm
any such ratifications, consents, waivers, and agreements from time to time as requested by the Company.

 

(e) Employee
shall perform, during and after the period in which Employee is or has been employed by or affiliated with the Company or any other member
of the Company Group, all acts deemed necessary or desirable by the Company to permit and assist each member of the Company Group, at
the Company’s expense, in obtaining and enforcing the full benefits, enjoyment, rights and title throughout the world in the Company
Intellectual Property and Confidential Information assigned, to be assigned, or licensed to the Company under this Agreement. Such acts
may include execution of documents and assistance or cooperation (i) in the filing, prosecution, registration, and memorialization of
assignment of any applicable patents, copyrights, mask work, or other applications, (ii) in the enforcement of any applicable patents,
copyrights, mask work, moral rights, trade secrets, or other proprietary rights, and (iii) in other legal proceedings related to the Company
Intellectual Property or Confidential Information.

 

(f) In
the event that the Company (or, as applicable, a member of the Company Group) is unable for any reason to secure Employee’s signature
to any document required to file, prosecute, register, or memorialize the assignment of any patent, copyright, mask work or other applications
or to enforce any patent, copyright, mask work, moral right, trade secret or other proprietary right under any Confidential Information
or Company Intellectual Property, Employee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and each of the Company’s duly
authorized officers and agents as Employee’s agents and attorneys-in-fact to act for and on Employee’s behalf and instead
of Employee, (i) to execute, file, prosecute, register and memorialize the assignment of any such application, (ii) to execute and file
any documentation required for such enforcement, and (iii) to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the filing, prosecution,
registration, memorialization of assignment, issuance, and enforcement of patents, copyrights, mask works, moral rights, trade secrets
or other rights under the Confidential Information or Company Intellectual Property, all with the same legal force and effect as if executed
by Employee. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 11(f) apply fully to all derivative works, improvements,
renewals, extensions, continuations, divisionals, continuations in part, continuing patent applications, reissues, and reexaminations
of all Company Intellectual Property.

 

    14

     

    

 

(g) In
the event that Employee enters into, on behalf of any member of the Company Group, any contracts or agreements relating to any Confidential
Information or Company Intellectual Property, Employee shall assign such contracts or agreements to the Company (or the applicable member
of the Company Group) promptly, and in any event, prior to Employee’s termination. If the Company (or the applicable member of the
Company Group) is unable for any reason to secure Employee’s signature to any document required to assign said contracts or agreements,
or if Employee does not assign said contracts or agreements to the Company (or the applicable member of the Company Group) prior to Employee’s
termination, Employee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company (or the applicable member of the Company Group) and each
of the Company’s duly authorized officers and agents as Employee’s agents and attorneys-in-fact to act for and on Employee’s
behalf and instead of Employee to execute said assignments and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the execution of said
documents.

 

(h) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of this Section 11 will not apply to any Company Intellectual Property which qualifies
fully under the provisions of California Labor Code Section 2870, including any idea or invention which is developed entirely on the Employee’s
own time without using the equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secret information of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and
which is not related to the business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (either actual or demonstrably anticipated), and which
does not result from work performed for the Company and/or its subsidiaries.

 

12. Non-Disparagement.
Employee agrees not to make negative comments or otherwise disparage the Company or its officers, directors, employees, shareholders,
agents or products other than in the good faith performance of Employee’s duties to the Company while Employee is employed by the
Company. The foregoing shall not be violated by truthful statements in response to legal process, required governmental testimony or filings,
or administrative or arbitral proceedings (including, without limitation, depositions in connection with such proceedings).

 

13. Arbitration.

 

(a) Subject
to Section 13(b), any dispute, controversy or claim between Employee and any member of the Company Group arising out of or relating
to this Agreement or Employee’s employment or engagement with any member of the Company Group (“Disputes”)
will be finally settled by confidential arbitration in the State of California in accordance with the then-existing American Arbitration
Association (“AAA”) Employment Arbitration Rules. The arbitration award shall be final and binding on both parties.
Any arbitration conducted under this Section 13 shall be private, shall be heard by a single arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”)
selected in accordance with the then-applicable rules of the AAA and shall be conducted in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act.
The Arbitrator shall expeditiously hear and decide all matters concerning the Dispute. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in
this Agreement, the Arbitrator shall have the power to (i) gather such materials, information, testimony and evidence as the Arbitrator
deems relevant to the Dispute before him or her (and each party will provide such materials, information, testimony and evidence requested
by the Arbitrator), and (ii) grant injunctive relief and enforce specific performance. All Disputes shall be arbitrated on an individual
basis, and each party hereto hereby foregoes and waives any right to arbitrate any Dispute as a class action or collective action or on
a consolidated basis or in a representative capacity on behalf of other persons or entities who are claimed to be similarly situated,
or to participate as a class member in such a proceeding. The decision of the Arbitrator shall be reasoned, rendered in writing, be final
and binding upon the disputing parties and the parties agree that judgment upon the award may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction.
The parties acknowledge and agree that in connection with any such arbitration and regardless of outcome, except as provided under this
Section 13, each party will pay all of its own costs and expenses, including its own legal fees and expenses, and the arbitration
costs will be shared equally by the Company and Employee.

 

    15

     

    

 

(b) Notwithstanding
Section 13(a), either party may make a timely application for, and obtain, judicial emergency or temporary injunctive relief to
enforce any of the provisions of Sections 9 through 11; provided, however, that the remainder of any such Dispute
(beyond the application for emergency or temporary injunctive relief) shall be subject to arbitration under this Section 12.

 

(c) By
entering into this Agreement and entering into the arbitration provisions of this Section 13, THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE
AND AGREE THAT THEY ARE KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVING THEIR RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL.

 

(d) Nothing
in this Section 13 shall prohibit a party to this Agreement from (i) instituting litigation to enforce any arbitration award,
or (ii) joining the other party to this Agreement in a litigation initiated by a person or entity that is not a party to this Agreement.
Further, nothing in this Section 13 precludes Employee from filing a charge or complaint with a federal, state or other governmental
administrative agency.

 

14. Defense
of Claims; Cooperation. During the Employment Period and thereafter, upon request from the Company, Employee shall cooperate with
the Company Group in the defense of any claims or actions that may be made by or against any member of the Company Group that relate to
Employee’s actual or prior areas of responsibility or knowledge. Employee shall further provide reasonable and timely cooperation
in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, inquiry, review, investigation, process, or other matter (whether conducted
by or before any court, arbitrator, regulatory, or governmental entity, or by or on behalf of any Company Group member), that relates
to Employee’s actual or prior areas of responsibility or knowledge.

 

15. Withholdings;
Deductions. The Company is authorized to withhold and deduct from any benefits, amounts, or payments related to this Agreement
or Employee’s employment (a) all federal, state, local and other taxes and (b) any applicable deductions or withholdings.

 

16. Title
and Headings; Construction. Titles and headings to Sections hereof are for the purpose of reference only and shall in no way limit,
define or otherwise affect the provisions hereof. Any and all Exhibits or Attachments referred to in this Agreement are, by such reference,
incorporated herein and made a part hereof for all purposes. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to laws, regulations,
contracts, documents, agreements and instruments refer to such laws, regulations, contracts, documents, agreements and instruments as
they may be amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, and references to particular provisions of laws or regulations
include a reference to the corresponding provisions of any succeeding law or regulation. All references to “dollars” or “$”
in this Agreement refer to United States dollars. The words “herein”, “hereof”, “hereunder” and other
compounds of the word “here” shall refer to the entire Agreement, including all Exhibits attached hereto, and not to any particular
provision hereof. Unless the context requires otherwise, the word “or” is not exclusive. Wherever the context so requires,
the masculine gender includes the feminine or neuter, and the singular number includes the plural and conversely. All references to “including”
shall be construed as meaning “including without limitation.” Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein
shall be construed or resolved against any party hereto, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise. On the contrary, this Agreement
has been reviewed by each of the parties hereto and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words
used so as to fairly accomplish the purposes and intentions of the parties hereto.

 

    16

     

    

 

17. Applicable
Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall in all respects be construed according to the laws of the State of Delaware
without regard to its conflict of laws principles that would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. With respect
to any claim or dispute related to or arising under this Agreement, the parties hereby consent to the arbitration provisions of Section
13 and recognize and agree that should any resort to a court be necessary and permitted under this Agreement, then they consent to
the exclusive jurisdiction, forum and venue of the state and federal courts (as applicable) located in Delaware. To the extent any dispute
arising under Section 10 is subject to the laws of the State of California whereby any provision set forth therein is deemed unenforceable
in the State of California, such unenforceable provision(s), after giving effect to such laws, will not apply.

 

18. Entire
Agreement and Amendment. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein
and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, oral or written, between the parties hereto concerning the
subject matter hereof; provided, however, that the provisions of this Agreement are in addition to and complement (and do not replace
or supersede) any other written agreement(s) or parts thereof between Employee and any member of the Company Group that create restrictions
on Employee with respect to confidentiality, non-disclosure, non-competition, non-solicitation or non-disparagement. Without limiting
the scope of the preceding sentence, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 18, all understandings and agreements
preceding the Effective Date and relating to the subject matter hereof are hereby null and void and of no further force or effect, and
this Agreement shall supersede all other agreements, written or oral, that purport to govern the terms of Employee’s employment
(including Employee’s compensation) with any member of the Company Group. Employee acknowledges and agrees that any prior agreements
or offer letters between Employee and any member of the Company Group are hereby terminated and all obligations by the Company thereunder
have been satisfied in full. In entering into this Agreement, Employee expressly acknowledges and agrees that Employee has received all
sums and compensation that Employee has been owed, is owed or ever could be owed pursuant to the agreement(s) referenced in the previous
sentence and for services provided to any member of the Company Group through the date that Employee signs this Agreement, with the exception
of any unpaid base salary for the pay period that includes the date on which Employee signs this Agreement. This Agreement may be amended
only by a written instrument executed by both parties hereto.

 

    17

     

    

 

19. Waiver
of Breach. Any waiver of this Agreement must be executed by the party to be bound by such waiver. No waiver by either party hereto
of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by the other party, or of compliance with any condition or provision of this Agreement
to be performed by such other party, will operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by such other party or any similar
or dissimilar provision or condition at the same or any subsequent time. The failure of either party hereto to take any action by reason
of any breach will not deprive such party of the right to take action at any time.

 

20. Assignment.
This Agreement is personal to Employee, and neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations hereunder shall be assignable or otherwise
transferred by Employee. The Company may assign this Agreement without Employee’s consent, including to any member of the Company
Group and to any successor to or acquirer of (whether by merger, purchase or otherwise) all or substantially all of the equity, assets
or businesses of the Company.

 

21. Notices.
Notices provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly received (a) when delivered in person,
(b) when sent by facsimile transmission (with confirmation of transmission) or email on a business day to the number or email address
set forth below, if applicable; provided, however, that if a notice is sent by facsimile transmission or email after normal
business hours of the recipient or on a non-business day, then it shall be deemed to have been received on the next business day after
it is sent, (c) on the first business day after such notice is sent by express overnight courier service, or (d) on the second business
day following deposit with an internationally-recognized second-day courier service with proof of receipt maintained, in each case, to
the following address, as applicable:

 

If to the Company, addressed
to:

 

Near Intelligence,  Inc.

100 West Walnut Street, 4th Floor

Pasadena, California 91124

Attention: Jay Angelo, General Counsel (jay.angelo@near.com)

 

If to Employee, at the
address (or to the e-mail address) shown in the books and records of the Company.

 

22. Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, including by electronic mail or facsimile, each of which when so executed
and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Each counterpart
may consist of a copy hereof containing multiple signature pages, each signed by one party, but together signed by both parties hereto.
Electronic copies shall have the same force and effect as the originals.

 

    18

     

    

 

23. Deemed
Resignations. Except as otherwise determined by the Board or as otherwise agreed to in writing by Employee and any member of the
Company Group prior to the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company or any member of the Company Group, any termination
of Employee’s employment shall constitute, as applicable, an automatic resignation of Employee: (a) as an officer of the Company
and each member of the Company Group; (b) from the Board; and (c) from the board of directors or board of managers (or similar governing
body) of any member of the Company Group and from the board of directors or board of managers (or similar governing body) of any corporation,
limited liability entity, unlimited liability entity or other entity in which any member of the Company Group holds an equity interest
and with respect to which board of directors or board of managers (or similar governing body) Employee serves as such Company Group member’s
designee or other representative. Employee agrees to take any further actions that any member of the Company Group reasonably requests
to effectuate or document the foregoing.

 

24. Section
409A. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary:

 

(a) General.
The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Code, and the regulations
and guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively, “Code Section 409A”), and accordingly, to the maximum extent
permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith.

 

(b) Separation
from Service. A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing
for the payment of any amounts or benefits that constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” upon or following a termination
of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, and for
purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment,”
or like terms shall mean “separation from service.” If Employee is deemed on the Termination Date to be a “specified
employee” within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then with regard to any payment or the provision of
any benefit that is considered deferred compensation under Code Section 409A payable on account of a “separation from service,”
such payment or benefit shall be made or provided at the date that is the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six-month period measured
from the date of such “separation from service” of Employee, and (ii) the date of Employee’s death, to the extent required
under Code Section 409A. Upon the expiration of the foregoing delay period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this Section
24 (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid
or reimbursed to Employee in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in
accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.

 

(c) Reimbursements
and In-Kind Benefits. To the extent that reimbursements or other in-kind benefits under this Agreement constitute “nonqualified
deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A, (i) all expenses or other reimbursements hereunder shall be made on or
prior to the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expenses were incurred by Employee, (ii) any right
to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and (iii) no such reimbursement,
expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided in any taxable year shall in any way affect the expenses eligible for
reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year.

 

(d) Installment
Payments. For purposes of Code Section 409A, Employee’s right to receive any installment payments pursuant to this Agreement
shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments. Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a
payment period with reference to a number of days, the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion
of the Company.

 

    19

     

    

 

(e) No
Offset. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any payment under this Agreement
that constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A be subject to offset by any other
amount unless otherwise permitted by Code Section 409A.

 

25. Certain
Excise Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Employee is a “disqualified individual”
(as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Code), and the payments and benefits provided for in this Agreement, together with any other
payments and benefits which Employee has the right to receive from the Company or any of its affiliates, would constitute a “parachute
payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code), then the payments and benefits provided for in this Agreement shall
be either (a) reduced (but not below zero) so that the present value of such total amounts and benefits received by Employee from
the Company or any of its affiliates shall be one dollar ($1.00) less than three times Employee’s “base amount” (as
defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) and so that no portion of such amounts and benefits received by Employee shall be subject
to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or (b) paid in full, whichever produces the better net after-tax position
to Employee (taking into account any applicable excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code and any other applicable taxes). The reduction
of payments and benefits hereunder, if applicable, shall be made by reducing, first, payments or benefits to be paid in cash hereunder
in the order in which such payment or benefit would be paid or provided (beginning with such payment or benefit that would be made last
in time and continuing, to the extent necessary, through to such payment or benefit that would be made first in time) and, then, reducing
any benefit to be provided in-kind hereunder in a similar order. The determination as to whether any such reduction in the amount
of the payments and benefits provided hereunder is necessary shall be made by the Company in good faith. If a reduced payment or benefit
is made or provided and through error or otherwise that payment or benefit, when aggregated with other payments and benefits from the
Company or any of its affiliates used in determining if a “parachute payment” exists, exceeds one dollar ($1.00) less than
three times Employee’s base amount, then Employee shall immediately repay such excess to the Company upon notification that an overpayment
has been made. Nothing in this Section 25 shall require any member of the Company Group to be responsible for, or
have any liability or obligation with respect to, Employee’s excise tax liabilities under Section 4999 of the Code.

 

26. Clawback.
To the extent required by applicable law or any applicable securities exchange listing standards, or as otherwise determined by the Board
(or a committee thereof), amounts paid or payable under this Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of any applicable clawback policies
or procedures adopted by any member of the Company Group, which clawback policies or procedures may provide for forfeiture and/or recoupment
of amounts paid or payable under this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each member of the Company
Group reserves the right, without the consent of Employee, to adopt any such clawback policies and procedures, including such policies
and procedures applicable to this Agreement with retroactive effect.

 

27. Effect
of Termination. The provisions of Sections 7, 9-15 and 23, 25 and 26 and those provisions
necessary to interpret and enforce them, shall survive any termination of this Agreement and any termination of the employment relationship
between Employee and the Company.

 

28. Third-Party
Beneficiaries. Each member of the Company Group that is not a signatory to this Agreement shall be a third-party beneficiary of
Employee’s obligations under Sections 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 23 and shall be entitled
to enforce such obligations as if a party hereto.

 

29. Severability.
If an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement (or portion thereof) is invalid or
unenforceable, then the invalidity or unenforceability of that provision (or portion thereof) shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of any other provision of this Agreement, and all other provisions shall remain in full force and effect. It is the intention of the parties
that any such invalid or unenforceable provision be reformed and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
