FREYR acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to the Restricted Information, FREYR may be required to enter into an agreement directly with the third-party owner of rights in or to such Information in order to receive access to such Information in connection with this Agreement.

(b) By FREYR. Following 24m’s initial delivery of all Related Information required under clause 7.4, and continuing throughout the Term of this Agreement, on a quarterly basis FREYR shall disclose in writing and transfer and deliver to 24m, at no cost and, where possible, through electronic means such as file transfer or FTP, copies of all material FREYR Developed Improvements that FREYR or its Affiliates have developed or acquired ownership or Control of at any time during the Term of this Agreement (to the extent not previously disclosed, transferred or delivered to 24m hereunder).

5. Royalty Payments

5.1 Royalty. In consideration of the licenses granted by 24m under clause 3.1 of this Agreement, FREYR shall pay to 24m the royalty payments set out below (the “Royalty”) on aggregate Revenues earned for the sale of Products during each Calendar Year:

Portion of aggregate Revenues from Products sold during Calendar Year (based on aggregate, rated capacity of Products sold, in kWh)				Royalty (% of Revenue)
[***] kWh/year	to	[***] kWh/year		[***]%
[***] kWh/year	to	[***] kWh/year		[***]%
[***] kWh/year	to	[***] kWh/year		[***]%
[***] kWh/year	to	[***] kWh/year		[***]%
[***] kWh/year	to	[***] kWh/year		[***]%
[***] kWh/year	to	[***] kWh/year		[***]%
[***] kWh/year				[***]%

Page 12

“Revenue” for the purpose of calculating the Royalty in the table above means the actual revenue per Calendar Year (not the cumulative amount from the production) FREYR earned for the sale of Products to customers of FREYR who are not Affiliates nor Related Parties of FREYR (“Non-affiliates”). If FREYR leases (to third parties or Related Parties or Affiliates), uses (for its own benefit as a commercial end user) or sells Products to Affiliates or Related Parties of FREYR, then Revenue shall be the revenue that would have been received if Products were sold at the market price as represented by the price paid by unaffiliated parties in an arms-length transaction, which shall be deemed to be the actual revenue received by the Affiliate or Related Party from the subsequent resale of the Products to customers (that are not an Affiliates or Related Parties of FREYR) if the Products are so resold. For the foregoing purposes, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith a representative market price based on available information of sales of Products by FREYR, if any, and other manufacturers after considering differences in quality, purchase volumes and other relevant considerations.

For the avoidance of doubt, for the [***] kWh of sales each Calendar Year the Royalty is [***]% of Revenue. For example, if FREYR’s quarterly sales volumes are [***] kWh for the first, second and third quarters and [***] kWh in the fourth quarter, then the Royalty will be [***]% of Revenue for the [***] kWh of sales and [***]% of Revenue for the remaining [***] kWh of sales.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if a Product includes Semi-Solid Battery cells as part of or in combination with other products, services or components that do not use or practice 24m Licensed Patents (e.g., a module that does not use or practice 24m Licensed Patents that includes Semi-Solid Battery cells), Revenue from such combination sales for purposes of calculating the amounts due shall be the revenue that would have been received if the Semi-Solid Battery cells were sold alone at the market price as represented by the price paid by unaffiliated parties in an arms-length transaction.

5.2 Minimum Annual Royalty. Beginning on the three-year anniversary of the Effective Date, FREYR shall pay to 24m minimum annual Royalties equal to three million U.S. Dollars ($3,000,000) per Calendar Year (“Minimum Annual Royalties”).

5.3 Waiver of Royalties on Initial Sales. Subject to payment of the Service Fee in 7.1, 24M agrees to waive the royalty payments [***] during the [***] from FREYR’s pilot manufacturing line. For the avoidance of doubt, this waiver of royalty payments is only applicable to sales from FREYR’s pilot manufacturing line and expires in [***].

5.4 Revenue. In addition to the foregoing set out in clause 5.1:

(a) Revenue shall mean the actual revenue earned or calculated from sales or use of Product sold, less:

(i) any tax regarding sales, use, occupation, tariff, excise or import/export, or other governmental charges imposed on the production, importation, exportation, use or sale on particular sales or the provision of a service (but not income taxes derived from such sales);

(ii) any packing for the shipping of Products, freight, postage, insurance, or other transportation charges itemized as such on the invoice; and

(iii) refunds, returns, and credits for the foregoing.

5.5 Royalty Calculation and Invoicing. The Royalty calculated in accordance with this clause 5 (Royalty Payments) shall be paid Quarterly in arrears. Within twenty (20) Business Days after the end of each relevant Quarter, FREYR shall provide full details to 24m of the total Revenue earned during that Quarter and the corresponding amount of the Royalty calculated in accordance with clauses 5.1 (the “Royalty Report”).  The amount of the Royalty shall be converted by FREYR into US Dollars using the average exchange rate during the Quarter in which the Royalty is calculated. 24m shall provide an invoice to FREYR within five (5) Business Days following receipt of the Royalty Report. If there has been any underpayment or overpayment of the Royalty, FREYR shall ensure that there is an adjustment to the next Quarterly payment following discovery of such underpayment or overpayment.

Page 13

The Minimum Annual Royalty under clause 5.2 shall be paid each Calendar Year in arrears. In its Royalty Report for the 4^th Quarter of each Calendar Year, actual Royalties accrued for the entire Calendar Year shall be credited against the Minimum Annual Royalty, and any remainder added to the Royalty calculation of the Royalty Report for the 4^th Quarter.

5.6 Royalty Payment. FREYR shall pay all undisputed Royalties in US dollars within [***] of receipt of each invoice from 24m. FREYR will pay 24m a late fee for any amount that is not paid when due at a rate of [***] per month or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less, from the due date until paid.

5.7 Taxes

(a) All Royalty payments are exclusive of VAT (or other similar taxes) and shall be paid by FREYR free of all deductions and withholdings whatsoever, except where otherwise required by law.

(b) If any deduction or withholding is required by law, FREYR will pay to 24m a sum that will, after such deduction or withholding has been made, leave 24m with the same amount as 24m would have been entitled to in the absence of such deduction or withholding. FREYR shall provide to 24m a statement showing the gross Royalty paid, the amount of the sum deducted, and the actual Royalty paid.

(c) Any taxes, duties or fees arising out of or in connection with each Party’s income shall be borne by the Party the respective taxes are levied upon.

6. Non-compete

6.1 Provided FREYR is not in material default of this Agreement and with the exception of direct grants to Major Automobile Companies, 24M will refrain, and will cause its Affiliates to refrain, from directly or indirectly granting any license for the manufacture of Products within:

(a) the Scandinavian Region, through December 31, 2023, and

(b) the EEA, excluding the Scandinavian Region, and excluding the grant of no more than two licenses, inclusive of that granted to FREYR hereunder, through December 31, 2023,

in either case wherein the Product is produced for use, used or sold for Energy Storage System Applications (together (a) and (b), the “Out-Licensing Restrictions”). For purposes of clarity, the Out-Licensing Restrictions shall not apply to (i) the production licenses or binding agreements to enter into a production license that that are in effect as of the Effective Date and set forth in Schedule 4f, or (ii) production licenses that are granted or entered into within 90 days after the Effective Date with the parties set forth in Schedule 4f based on negotiations that are on-going as of the Effective Date.

Subject to providing [***] months’ prior notice, paying the Exclusivity Fee (as shown in the table below) within [***] of providing such notice, the Out-Licensing Restriction in clause 6.1(a) (the “Scandinavian Region Out-Licensing Restriction”) can be extended, on an annual basis, through [***].

(e) JSC Disputes. The JSC will endeavour to make decisions by consensus, with each of FREYR’s and 24m’s representatives having, collectively, one vote. If consensus is not reached by the Parties’ representatives pursuant to such vote, the matter will be referred to two (2) internal mediators, one (1) from each Party, each of which is an employee designated by such Party. In the event such mediators cannot resolve an issue that is escalated to them by the JSC, within sixty (60) days after such escalation, the issue will be deemed a dispute and handled in accordance with clause 15.2.

(f) Authority. For clarity and notwithstanding the creation of the JSC, each Party shall retain the rights and authority granted to it hereunder, and the JSC shall not be delegated or vested with such rights or authority unless such delegation or vesting is expressly provided herein, or the Parties expressly so agree in writing. Unless expressly set forth in this clause 7.7, the JSC shall not have the power to amend, waive or modify any term of this Agreement, and no decision of the JSC shall be in contravention of any terms and conditions of this Agreement.

8.2 Audits. 24m shall have the right at its own cost and on an annual basis to appoint independent third-party auditors reasonably acceptable to FREYR (the “Auditors”) to inspect and audit the accounting records of FREYR to validate and verify the Royalty paid to 24m. FREYR shall provide the Auditors with such reasonable assistance as they may require for the purpose of validating and verifying the Royalties paid by FREYR. The Auditors shall disclose to 24m only the information necessary to determine the amount and accuracy of payments reported and actually paid or otherwise payable under this Agreement. The Auditor will send a copy of the report to FREYR at the same time it is sent to 24m. Such inspections may be made no more than once each Calendar Year and during normal business hours. Such records for any particular Calendar Quarter shall be subject to no more than one audit. The Auditors shall be obligated to execute a reasonable confidentiality agreement prior to commencing any such inspection. The Parties will endeavour in such inspection to minimize disruption of FREYR’s normal business activities to the extent reasonably practicable. If an audit reveals an underpayment of the Royalty, FREYR shall explain the reason for such underpayment to 24m’s reasonable satisfaction and promptly make payment of the underpaid amount to 24m, plus any interest as required under clause 5.5. If such underpayment is more than [***] of the royalty actually paid, then FREYR will reimburse 24m its audit fees.

16.2 Assignment / Novation. Neither Party may assign, sub-license (except as provided in clause 3), or otherwise transfer, or purport to assign, sub-license (except as provided in clause 3), or otherwise transfer any right or obligation (as applicable), pursuant to this Agreement without the prior approval of the other Party except that either party may assign this Agreement to (a) an Affiliate, or (b) a successor in connection with a change of control. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, FREYR may, without the prior approval of 24m, assign, mortgage, pledge or otherwise directly or indirectly assign its rights under this Agreement to (A) any reputable Financing Party that is not a competitor to 24m or a manufacturer of lithium-ion batteries or (B) any entity through which FREYR is obtaining financing from a reputable Financing Party where neither the entity nor the Financing Party are competitors to 24m or manufacturers of lithium-ion batteries.

In furtherance of FREYR’s financing arrangements and in addition to any other rights or entitlements of FREYR under this Agreement, 24m shall use good faith efforts to timely execute any consents to assignment (which may include notice, cure, attornment and step-in rights) or estoppels and negotiate any amendments to this Agreement that may be reasonably requested by FREYR or the Financing Parties; provided, that such estoppels, consents to assignment or amendments do not alter the fundamental economic terms of this Agreement.

16.4 Continuation of Rights in Bankruptcy. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by 24m to FREYR are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code, licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101(56) of the Bankruptcy Code. The parties agree that FREYR, as a licensee of such rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code. The Parties further agree that, in the event of the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against 24m under the Bankruptcy Code, FREYR shall be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property, and same, if not already in its possession, shall be promptly delivered to FREYR (i) upon any such commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding upon written request therefor by FREYR, unless 24m elects to continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) if not delivered under (i) above, upon the rejection of this Agreement by or on behalf of 24m upon written request therefor by FREYR.

16.5 Compliance with Laws and Anti-bribery and Corruption. Each Party shall perform its obligations, and exercise its rights, pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with Applicable Laws and shall refrain from any conduct that would cause the other Party to be in violation of any Applicable Laws related to bribery and corruption, including the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, 15 U.S.C. § 78dd-1, et seq. (the “FCPA”).

16.6 Independent Contractors.

16.7 CFIUS. If the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”) inquires about the transaction or requests the Parties or a Party to file a declaration or notice with respect to the transaction, then each of 24m and FREYR shall use reasonable best efforts to (A) provide as promptly as practicable to each other’s counsel and to CFIUS any additional or supplemental information and documentary material as may be necessary, proper or advisable in connection with the transaction, including preparing and submitting a joint voluntary declaration or notice and thereafter to achieve CFIUS approval; (B) permit the other party to review reasonably in advance any communication (subject to mutually acceptable appropriate redactions to maintain confidentiality of business information) proposed to be given by it to CFIUS, and consult with each other in advance of any meeting or conference with CFIUS, and, to the extent permitted by CFIUS, give the other party reasonable opportunity to attend and participate in any such meeting or conference; and (C) keep each other timely apprised of the status of any communications with, and any inquiries or requests for additional information or documentary material from, CFIUS, in each case (A)-(C), to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to customary and mutually acceptable confidentiality practices and all applicable privileges (including the attorney-client privilege). For the sake of clarity, neither 24M nor FREYR shall have any obligation under this agreement to take any action, or refrain from taking any action, in order to satisfy any conditions or mitigation measures that CFIUS may deem necessary to obtain CFIUS approval. Each party shall account for its own costs associated with obtaining such approval, and the parties agree to share any such costs equally, as calculated following the submission of final accountings by each party.

16.8 Waiver. No delay or omission by either Party in enforcing or exercising any right, power or remedy will impair that right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of it. A waiver by either Party of any of its rights, powers or remedies or of any breach will not be construed to be a waiver of any other right, remedy or power or any other succeeding breach. No waiver or discharge of any kind will be valid unless in writing and signed by an authorised representative of the Party against whom such waiver or discharge is sought to be enforced.

If a court of competent jurisdiction or other competent body decides that any provision of this Agreement is void or otherwise ineffective but would be valid and effective if appropriately modified, then such provision will apply with the modification necessary to make it valid and effective. If such a provision cannot be so modified, the provisions’ invalidity or ineffectiveness will not affect or impair the validity or legal effect of any other provision of this Agreement.
