Volvo Cars shall be able to apply and rely on such liability limitations and caps in accordance with the terms and conditions of each Ancillary Agreement with respect to each type of claims (e.g. design under the development agreement, manufacturing under the manufacturing agreement, services under the services agreement, tooling under the tooling agreement) towards Polestar and Polestar Affiliates if those are handled in the end through this Agreement. 4.2.4 Rectification of defects is the responsibility of Volvo Cars if the directed Affiliate(s) is for some reason not handling it in time for Polestar or Polestar Affiliates. 5.

LIABILITY 6.1 In relation to the Deliverables provided under the Ancillary Agreements, Volvo Cars’ liability, including limitations, shall correspond to the liability and limitations for Volvo Cars or each Volvo Cars Affiliates under each Ancillary Agreement.

PS23-111 SA IP TEMPLATE VERSION 201022 6 Nothing in this Service Agreement shall be deemed to constitute an assignment of, or license to use, any Trademarks of the other Party. 5.2 Ownership of Results. The Party specified in the Main Document to own the Results shall be the exclusive owner of the Results, including all modifications, amendments and developments thereof. If Purchaser is the Party indicated as owning the Results in the Main Document, all Results, including all modifications, amendments and developments thereof, and any Intellectual Property Rights developed as a result of the Services provided by Service Provider (or if applicable, any of its appointed Affiliates or subcontractors), shall consequently automatically upon creation be transferred from Service Provider to Purchaser. Purchaser shall further have the right to transfer, sublicense, modify and otherwise freely dispose of the Results, however with the restrictions set forth in Section 5.3 below. 5.3 License grant. The Results Owner hereby grants to the other Party a non-exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual (however at least 50 years long (however, in no event shall such time exceed the validity period of any IP or Background IP included in the license described hereunder)), non- assignable (however assignable to the Party’s Affiliates and related companies) license to, within the Territory: (a) Use , in whole or in part, the Results and, if applicable, any Background IP embedded in or otherwise used in the development of the Results to the extent such license is necessary or reasonably necessary to make use of this license granted to the Results and the Services provided hereunder; and (b) design, engineer, Use, make and have made, repair, service, market, sell and make available products and/or services based on, incorporating or using the Results and any Background IP referred to in (a) above, in whole or in part. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Service Agreement, nothing in these General Terms or otherwise in the Service Agreement shall be construed as to give the other Party any rights, including but not limited to any license rights (express or implied), to any Background IP, except as expressly stated herein. The license granted from the Results Owner to the other Party under Section 5.3.1 above shall be fully sublicensable to the other Party’s Affiliates, but shall not be sublicensable to any Third Party without prior written approval from the Results Owner, however with the exception stated in Section 5.3.4 below. For the avoidance of doubt, the Results Owner shall be entitled to license the Results, including any Background IP therein, to the Results Owner’s Affiliates without prior written consent from the other Party. In the event either Party would want to sublicense/license the rights granted under Section 5.3.1 above in whole, or a substantial part of said rights, to a Third Party, such sublicense/license requires the prior written approval of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld (whereby a sublicense/license to a Third Party which is a competitor of either Party is an example of what could be deemed unreasonable and subject to non- approval) or delayed. Any approval in accordance with the foregoing shall be handled at a PS23-111 SA IP TEMPLATE VERSION 201022 7 high governance level by the Strategic Board. For the avoidance of doubt, the other Party has no obligation to provide any support regarding sublicensing/licensing of any rights connected to this Service Agreement to a Party providing a sublicense/license to a Third Party. 5.4 Suspected infringement. The Party to whom the license in Section 5.3 is granted, shall promptly (upon becoming aware) notify the Results Owner in writing of: (a) any conduct of a Third Party that the Party reasonably believes to be, or reasonably believes to be likely to be, an infringement, misappropriation or other violation of any Intellectual Property Rights licensed to the Party hereunder by a Third Party; or (b) any allegations made to the Party by a Third Party that any Intellectual Property Rights licensed hereunder are invalid, subject to cancellation, unenforceable, or is a misappropriation of any Intellectual Property Rights of a Third Party. In the event that the Party has provided the Results Owner a notification pursuant to Section 5.4.1(a) above, and the Results Owner decides not to take any action against the Third Party, the Results Owner may approve in writing that the other Party shall be entitled to itself take action against the Third Party at its own cost. If the Results Owner approves, it shall provide reasonable assistance to the other Party, as requested by the other Party at the other Party’s expense. If the Results Owner does not approve to the other Party taking such action, the issue should be escalated to the Strategic Board for decision. For the avoidance of doubt, the Results Owner has no responsibility in the event the Results are alleged to infringe in any Third Party’s Intellectual Property Rights and the Results Owner has, except for what is set out above in this Section 5.4 no obligation to defend and hold the other Party harmless from and against any alleged infringements. 5.5 Volvo brand name. For the sake of clarity, it is especially noted that this Service Agreement does not include any right to use the “Volvo” brand name, or Trademarks, or refer to “Volvo” in communications or official documents of whatever kind. The Parties acknowledge that the “Volvo” Trademarks as well as the “Volvo” name is owned by Volvo Trademark Holding AB and that the right to use the name and the “Volvo” Trademarks is subject to a service agreement, which stipulates that the name, Trademarks and all thereto related Intellectual Property can only be used by Volvo Car Corporation and its Affiliates in relation to Volvo products.

MISCELLANEOUS 10.1. Confidentiality 10.1.1. In this Agreement, “Confidential Information” includes information in permanent form (including for the purposes of this definition electronic form) labelled by the disclosing Party as confidential and information transmitted orally which is stated at the time it is disclosed to be confidential and then as soon as practicable afterwards, reduced to permanent form by the disclosing Party and sent to the receiving Party labelled confidential, as well as any other permanent or oral information which is reasonably to be considered as confidential. Even though information supplied by one Party to the other may be described or reasonably considered as confidential, it shall not qualify as Confidential Information or shall cease to qualify as such if the information: i. is already known to the Party receiving it, unless prior knowledge was obtained subject to a similar and still subsisting duty of confidentiality; ii. becomes known later to the Party receiving it, unless the later knowledge is obtained either unlawfully or subject to a similar duty of confidentiality; or iii. is or finds its way into the public domain other than by breach of any agreement by the receiving Party. Partner Agreement Version: 1 Page 16 of 21 24-06-04 10.1.2. Each of the Parties undertakes to maintain and procure the maintenance of the confidentiality of Confidential Information of the other Party at all times and to keep and procure the keeping of all Confidential Information of the other Party secure and protected against theft, damage, loss or unauthorised access, and not at any time, whether during the term of this Agreement or at any time thereafter, without the prior written consent of the other Party, directly or indirectly, to use or authorise or permit the use of or disclose, exploit, copy or modify any Confidential Information of the other Party, or authorise or permit any third party to do the same, other than for the sole purposes of the performance of its rights and obligations hereunder. 10.1.3. Each of the Parties undertakes to disclose Confidential Information of the other Party only to those of its officers, employees and contractors to who, and to the extent to which, such disclosure is necessary for the purposes contemplated under this Agreement and observe the confidentiality obligations in this Section 10.1 and execute and observe the terms of a confidentiality undertaking on terms comparable with the confidentiality obligations in this Agreement. 10.1.4. Without prejudice to the Partner’s obligations otherwise resulting from this Section 10.1, Polestar herewith explicitly prohibits Partner from sharing any Confidential Information of Polestar with third parties that are involved in the wholesale or retail sale of passenger cars of a competing brand. Partner acknowledges that it is of paramount importance that it complies with this instruction to avoid possible infringements of applicable competition laws. Partner acknowledges that specific measures (for example, but not limited to, firewalling Polestar information) may be required in case it acts as authorised dealer of such competing brands and commits to implementing such measures in an adequate manner. 10.1.5. Each Party shall immediately upon becoming aware of any unauthorised disclosure, misuse, theft or other loss of Confidential Information of the other Party, whether inadvertent or otherwise, give notice to the other of the same. 10.1.6. The terms of and obligations imposed by this Section 10.1 shall survive the termination or expiry of this Agreement but shall not apply to any Confidential Information which: i. at the time of receipt by the recipient is in the public domain, or subsequently comes into the public domain through no fault of the recipient, its officers, employees, agents or contractors; ii. is lawfully received by the recipient from a third party on an unrestricted basis; iii. is already known to the recipient before receipt hereunder; or iv. is independently developed by the recipient or its employees, agents or contractors outside the scope of this Agreement (as evidenced by files or other records created at the time of such independent development). 10.1.7. Each Party may disclose Confidential Information of the other Party as may be required by Law or order of a competent authority or applicable stock exchange regulations to be disclosed by the receiving Party, or as reasonably required to be disclosed to a professional adviser of the receiving Party, provided that, to the extent practicable and legally permissible in the circumstances, the disclosing Party is in each case given reasonable advance notice of the intended disclosure (to the extent allowed by applicable law) and a reasonable opportunity to challenge the same. 10.1.8. The existence and terms of this Agreement are confidential and, save as required by Law, may not be disclosed by Partner to any third party without Polestar’s prior written consent.
Partner Agreement Version: 1 Page 17 of 21 24-06-04 10.2. Force Majeure 10.2.1. If a Force Majeure Event prevents either Party from complying with any one or more obligations under this Agreement, that inability to comply will not constitute breach if; (i) that Party uses reasonable efforts to perform those obligations; (ii) that Party’s inability to perform those obligations is not due to its failure to take reasonable measures to protect itself against events or circumstances of the same type as that Force Majeure Event or develop and maintain a reasonable contingency plan to respond to events or circumstances of the same type as that Force Majeure Event, and (iii) that Party complies with its obligations under Section 10.2.3. 10.2.2. In this Agreement, “Force Majeure Event” means, with respect to either Party, any event or circumstance, whether or not foreseeable, that was not caused by that Party and any consequences of that event or circumstance, such as any event of natural disaster, pandemic, war, invasion, act of foreign power or enemy hostilities (whether war was declared or not), civil war, rebellion, revolution, insurrection or military or usurped power, or any statute, rules, regulations, orders or requisitions issued by any government department, council or other duly constituted authority, or from strikes, lockouts or breakdowns of plant. A Force Majeure Event shall not constitute a strike or other labour unrest of that Party’s own workforce, an increase in prices or other change in general economic conditions, a change in law, or an event or circumstance that results in that Party not having sufficient funds to comply with an obligation to pay money. Further, the Parties expressly agree that the concurrence of extraordinary circumstances relating to the COVID-19 pandemic that may take place from now onwards shall not be considered as a cause of Force Majeure that allows the Partner not to comply with the obligations arising from this Agreement. 10.2.3. If a Force Majeure Event occurs, the noncomplying Party will as soon as possible notify the other Party of the occurrence of that Force Majeure Event, its effect on performance, and how long the noncomplying Party expects it to last. Thereafter the noncomplying Party will update that information as reasonably necessary. During a Force Majeure Event, the noncomplying Party will use reasonable efforts to limit damages to the other Party and to resume its performance under this Agreement. 10.2.4. If a Force Majeure Event prevents the noncomplying Party from complying with its obligations for a continuous period of more than [***], the other Party may terminate this Agreement by giving at least [***] notice to the noncomplying Party. 10.3. Limitation of Liability 10.3.1. Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits either Party's liability for: i. [***] Partner Agreement Version: 1 Page 18 of 21 24-06-04 10.3.2. Subject to Section 10.3.1 to the extent allowed by applicable law, neither Party shall in no event be liable to the other Party for loss of profits, loss of use, consequential, special, indirect or incidental damage, including negligence, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement. 10.4. Entire Agreement This Agreement (including, for avoidance of doubt, all of its schedules) constitute the entire understanding between the Parties as to the subject of this Agreement and supersede all other agreements, whether written or oral, between the Parties. 10.5. Amendment No amendment to this Agreement or any of its schedules will be effective unless it is in writing and signed by both Parties. 10.6. Assignment Neither Party may assign any rights or delegate any obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, except that Polestar may assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement (or this entire Agreement) to any Polestar Affiliate. Any purported assignment or delegation in breach of this Section 10.6 will be void. 10.7. Waiver No failure or delay by either Party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or by law will be a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor will it prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of that right or remedy will prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. Partner Agreement Version: 1 Page 19 of 21 24-06-04 10.8. Severability 10.8.1. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, then that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, unless that modification is not permitted by law, in which case that provision will be disregarded; 10.8.2. If an unenforceable provision is modified or disregarded in accordance with this Section 10.8, then the rest of the Agreement will remain in effect as written. 10.9. Notices 10.9.1. For a notice or other communication in accordance with this Agreement to be valid, it must be in writing and delivered (i) by hand; (ii) by a national transportation company (with all fees prepaid); or (iii) to the e-mail address provided by each Party from time to time. 10.9.2.

BACKGROUND a) Polestar has entered into, or will enter into, an agreement with Partner for the supply of products and/or services (the “Agreement”). b) Pursuant to the Agreement, Partner’s provision of the products and/or services involves processing of personal data by Partner on behalf of Polestar. c) The Parties have entered into this DPA to comply with the requirements in Article 28 of the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, as may be amended, updated, replaced or superseded from time to time (the "GDPR"). d) Where this DPA uses terms defined in the GDPR, but the terms are not defined in this DPA, those terms shall have the same meaning as in Article 4 of the GDPR. The Parties therefore agree as follows: 1. PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA 1.1 Polestar is controller of personal data processed under this DPA (hereinafter “Personal Data”) and Partner is processor of such personal data, except when Polestar acts as processor of personal data on behalf of a third party controller, in which case Partner is a sub-processor. 1.2 When Polestar is controller, Polestar undertakes to comply with all obligations laid down in the GDPR for controllers, including, but not limited to, ensuring the lawfulness of the processing of personal data, providing information to data subjects pursuant to Articles 13 and 14 in the GDPR and maintaining a record of processing activities under its responsibility. When a third party is controller of personal data processed by Partner under this DPA, the obligations that Partner has towards Polestar under this DPA (and the rights conferred upon Polestar under this DPA) shall also apply towards such third party controller, insofar as is necessary in order to comply with existing data protection laws, including the GDPR. 1.3 The categories of personal data subject to this DPA are specified in Appendix 1 which forms an integral part of this DPA. Without prejudice to this list, any other personal data processed by the Partner on behalf of Polestar in the course of performing the Agreement shall be subject to this DPA. 1.4 Polestar does not warrant the lawfulness of the personal data insofar as such data is not collected directly by Polestar or if the Partner processes personal data outside of the instructions of Polestar. 1.5 Partner warrants and is liable for the lawfulness and accuracy of the data it collects, either directly or through its permitted sub-processors, in its capacity as processor of Polestar.
2. CONTROLLER’S INSTRUCTIONS 2.1 The Partner shall only process Personal Data on documented instructions from Polestar, including with regard to transfers of personal data to a third country or an international organisation, unless required to do so by European Union or EU Member State law to which the Partner is subject. In such a case, the Partner shall inform Polestar of that legal requirement before processing, unless that law prohibits such information on important grounds of public interest. The Agreement and this DPA, along with subsequent instructions issued to the Partner by Polestar (including by email) throughout the duration of the processing of personal data, are Polestar’s instructions to Partner for processing of personal data. 2.2 Partner shall immediately inform Polestar in writing (including by email), if at any time, in its opinion, instructions are lacking or if instructions are infringing provisions of the GDPR or other European Union or EU Member State data protection provisions. Partner shall not proceed with the processing of personal data unless and until (i) Polestar issues new instructions, or (ii) if applicable, Polestar confirms the previous instructions. 2.3 Subject to Section 2.2, if the Partner cannot provide such compliance for whatever reasons, it shall promptly inform Polestar of its inability to comply, in which case Polestar is entitled to suspend or terminate the Agreement without any penalty. 2.4 The Partner shall deal promptly and properly with all inquiries from Polestar relating to its, or its Sub - processors’, processing of personal data on behalf of Polestar. 3. OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTNER AS DATA PROCESSOR 3.1 The Partner shall ensure that only such employees (of the Partner or its subcontractors) which must have access to the personal data in order to meet Partner's obligations under this DPA shall have access to the Personal Data, based on the “need to know” and “least privileged access” principles, and that such employees have received appropriate training and instructions regarding processing of personal data as well as committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality. The Partner shall provide Polestar, upon request, with proof of execution of the confidentiality agreements with personnel that may have access to Personal Data, as well as proof of periodic training in the field of personal data protect ion. 3.2 The Partner, taking into account the nature of the processing, shall implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk in accordance with GDPR Article 32 (and as a minimum the security measures further described in Appendix 2), and assist Polestar by implementing appropriate technical and organisational measures, insofar as this is possible, for the fulfilment of Polestar’s obligation to respond to requests for exercising the data subject's rights laid down in the GDPR. In particular, Partner shall ensure that Personal Data is properly isolated from data of other clients. 3.3 The Partner shall assist Polestar in ensuring compliance with the obligations pursuant to GDPR Articles 32 to 36 (e.g. assisting Polestar in case of data breach, when conducting a data protection impact assessment and prior consultations) taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to the Partner. 3.4 Upon request of Polestar, the Partner shall make available to Polestar all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with the obligations laid down in this DPA and in Art. 28 GDPR and allows for and contributes to audits, including inspections, conducted by Polestar or another auditor mandated by Polestar, in accordance with Section 8 below. 4. PERSONAL DATA BREACHES 4.1 The Partner shall promptly, and in no case later than 48 hours of having become aware, notify Polestar of any personal data breach it has suffered, in order to enable Polestar to assess whether it is under the obligation to notify the personal data breach to the competent supervisory authority or to the data subjects, in accordance with GDPR. 4.2 Partner shall provide Polestar with all available information pertaining to such personal data breach, including at least the following matters, taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to the Partner: a) The nature of the personal data including, where possible, the categories and approximate number of data subjects concerned, and the categories and approximate number of personal data records concerned; b) the likely consequences of the personal data breach; c) the measures taken or proposed to be taken by the by Partner, as well as any measures suggested to be taken by Polestar (if the case), to address the personal data breach, including, where appropriate, measures to mitigate its possible adverse effects. 4.3 The Partner shall thereafter implement all such measures as soon as possible, shall keep Polestar properly informed on developments and shall provide any and all cooperation requested by Polestar. 5. DATA ACCESS REQUESTS 5.1 The Partner shall promptly notify Polestar and shall subsequently supply Polestar with all information relating thereto, in case of : (i) any data subject requests or complaints regarding the processing of their personal data where Polestar is a controller, received directly by Partner; or (ii) any third party (including organisations or associations) requests or complaints regarding the processing of personal data by Partner on behalf of Polestar; or (iii) any supervisory authority or government requests for access to, information about, audit concerning, or any other regulatory action (including only notice of intent) concerning the processing of personal data undertaken by Partner in the context of the Agreement. 5.2 the Partner shall in no event respond directly, unless having received prior written instruction from Polestar to do so. 6. USE OF SUB-PROCESSORS 6.1 The Partner may continue to use those Sub-processors already engaged by Partner as at the date of this DPA, as listed in Appendix 1 to this DPA, so long as such use does not involve a transfer (as defined under EU data protection law) of Personal Data from the EEA to a third country other than those having been granted an adequacy decision by the European Commission, as indicated at https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data- protection/adequacy-decisions_en. 6.2 The Partner shall inform Polestar in writing of any intended changes concerning the addition or replacement of sub-processors at least 30 days in advance. Polestar may submit an objection within this period of time, in which case it shall endeavour to explain the reasons why it objects to said sub- processor, without being obligated to do so. In the event of such an objection, even if Partner does not agree with Polestar’s position, the sub-processor shall not be engaged for processing Personal Data and the Parties will work in good faith to attempt to mutually resolve the matter. 6.3 Where the Partner engages a sub-processor for carrying out specific processing activities on behalf of Polestar, the Partner shall ensure that the same data protection obligations as set out in this DPA are imposed on that sub-processor, in particular audit rights and providing sufficient guarantees to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures in such a manner that the processing will meet the requirements of this DPA and the GDPR. 6.4 Upon request, a copy of such a sub-processor agreement and subsequent amendments shall be made available to Polestar, with the exception of clauses on business related issues that do not affect the legal data protection content of the sub-processor agreement. 6.5 The Partner shall at all times keep an up-to-date list of all sub-processors used, including in each case the details required under Appendix 1, and shall make this list available to Polestar upon request. 6.6 Partner shall be liable for the acts and omissions of any such Sub-processor to the same extent as if the acts or omissions were performed by Partner. 7. TRANSFER OF DATA TO THIRD COUNTRIES OR INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATIONS 7.1 Partner shall not transfer Personal Data to, or process such data in, a location outside of the EEA without Polestar’s prior written consent, except if in compliance with this Section 7 (in each case a “Transfer”). 7.2 Without prejudice to the sub-processor notification requirements in section 6.2, Partner may introduce Transfers where Partner has implemented a Transfer solution compliant with the GDPR, which for example may include: (a) where the destination country is subject to an adequacy decision by the European Commission; (b) a derogation pursuant to Article 49 of the GDPR applies or (c) the EU Commission Standard Contractual Clauses for the transfer of Personal Data to Processors established in third countries, together with supplementary measures. 7.3 Where the Transfer solution is the EU Commission Standard Contractual Clauses, the Partner shall provide Polestar with a transfer impact assessment, including details as to locations of processing, the processing activities that will be carried out, the types of data, any additional safeguards and measures (technical, organisational and contractual) to be implemented, as well as Partner’s risk assessment on the intended sub-processor and/or Transfer. Such notification shall be performed prior to implementation of the Transfer, and Polestar shall be given (by derogation from section 6.2 in case of sub-processors) at least 90 days to review it. Polestar may reject the Transfer, partially or entirely, in which case Partner shall not perform the envisaged Transfer. If the contracted services cannot be performed without the said Transfer, Polestar shall have the option to terminate the Agreement, entirely or partially as required, without any penalty. 7.4 If Partner is, or becomes, established outside of the EEA in a country that does not ensure an adequate level of data protection, the Parties shall enter into Standard Contractual Clauses based on the EU Commission Model Clauses. 8. AUDIT RIGHTS AND LOCATIONS 8.1 The Partner shall make available to Polestar, on request, all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with this DPA. 8.2 Polestar shall have the right to perform audits of the Partner's processing of Personal Data (including such processing as may be carried out by the Sub-processors, if any) in order to verify the Partner's, and any Sub-processors, compliance with this DPA. 8.3 The Partner will, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice (whereby a notice period of five (5) Business Days shall always be deemed reasonable), provide to Polestar personnel or its hired consultants, its internal or external auditors, inspectors and regulators, reasonable access to the parts of facilities where the Partner is carrying out processing activities, to personnel, and to data and records (including tools and procedures) relating to the processing. Polestar’s auditors and other representatives shall comply with Partner's reasonable work rules, security requirements and standards when conducting site visits. 8.4 The right to perform audits and inspections shall also include a right to receive relevant information upon request and without Polestar staff being physically present at Partner’s site. 8.5 Partner will promptly remediate issues raised in any audit report to the reasonable satisfaction of Polestar, and Polestar shall have the right to conduct a follow-up audit on the same aspects where non-compliances have been initially discovered, under the same conditions laid out above. 8.6 The Partner shall at all times keep a comprehensive and up to date record of where the IT system(s) used to process personal data on behalf of Polestar is/are located. For the avoidance of doubt, this shall include the locations of any IT systems belonging to any Sub-processors. Upon request, the Partner shall promptly provide Polestar with a copy of the record. 9. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION 9.1 Swedish law, without regard to the conflict of law principles, governs all matters arising out of this DPA. 9.2 Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in connection with this DPA, or the breach, termination or invalidity thereof, shall be finally settled by arbitration administered by the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce (the “SCC”). The Rules for Expedited Arbitrations shall apply, unless the SCC in its discretion determines, taking into account the complexity of the case, the amount in dispute and other circumstances, that the Arbitration Rules shall apply. In the latter case, the SCC shall also decide whether the Arbitral Tribunal shall be composed of one or three arbitrators. The seat of arbitration shall be Gothenburg, Sweden and the language to be used shall be English. 10. CONTRACT TERM AND TERMINATION 10.1 The term of this DPA corresponds to the term of the Agreement. The provisions regarding the ordinary termination of the Agreement apply accordingly. 10.2 On termination of this DPA for any reason, the Partner shall cease to process the Personal Data and shall arrange for the prompt and safe return to Polestar (or its nominated third party), or destruction,
at Polestar’s sole option, of all such Personal Data together with all copies in its or its Sub -processors’ possession or control, unless storage of the data is required under European Union law or EU member state law (which shall be notified to Polestar) in which case the Partner shall be controller of such data. Polestar may require the Partner to promptly confirm in writing that it has returned or destroyed all copies of the Personal Data. 11. LIABILITY 11.1 Breaches of this DPA shall be treated as breaches of the Agreement. 11.2 Each Party shall be liable for its own breaches of applicable data protection law and shall indemnify the other accordingly in case the other party suffers a damage following such breach. 11.3 For the avoidance of doubt, section 11.2 prevails over any limitation of liability in the Agreement. 12. GENERAL PROVISIONS 12.1 Compliance with laws. The Parties shall abide by all EU Data Protection Legislation even if not referenced in this DPA. 12.2 Attachments. The Appendices attached to this DPA are part of this DPA. In case of a conflict between the terms of such Appendices and the terms of this DPA, the terms of this DPA shall prevail. The Appendices shall take precedence in the order in which they are numbered. 12.3 Entire agreement. This DPA states all terms agreed between the Parties and supersedes all other agreements between the Parties relating to its subject matter. 12.4 Amendment and Waiver. No amendment of this DPA will be effective unless it is in writing and signed by both Parties. A waiver of any default is not a waiver of any later default and will not affect the validity of this DPA. 12.5 Assignment. Partner may not assign any rights or delegate any obligations under this DPA without Polestar’s written consent. 12.6 Severability. In case individual provisions of this agreement are ineffective or become ineffective or contain a gap, the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.

Schedule 2_Polestar Service Provider Agreement Version: 2 Page 3 of 16 24-03-25 Internal Information - Polestar Appendix 1 - Data processing agreement This Data Processing Agreement constitutes Appendix 1 to the Service Provider Agreement entered between Polestar and Partner. BACKGROUND a) Polestar has entered into, or will enter into, an agreement with Partner for the supply of products and/or services (the “Agreement”). b) Pursuant to the Agreement, Partner’s provision of the products and/or services involves processing of personal data by Partner on behalf of Polestar. c) The Parties have entered into this DPA to comply with the requirements in Article 28 of the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, as may be amended, updated, replaced or superseded from time to time (the "GDPR"). d) Where this DPA uses terms defined in the GDPR, but the terms are not defined in this DPA, those terms shall have the same meaning as in Article 4 of the GDPR. The Parties therefore agree as follows: 1. PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA 1.1 Polestar is controller of personal data processed under this DPA (hereinafter “Personal Data”) and Partner is processor of such personal data, except when Polestar acts as processor of personal data on behalf of a third party controller, in which case Partner is a sub-processor. 2.1 When Polestar is controller, Polestar undertakes to comply with all obligations laid down in the GDPR for controllers, including, but not limited to, ensuring the lawfulness of the processing of personal data, providing information to data subjects pursuant to Articles 13 and 14 in the GDPR and maintaining a record of processing activities under its responsibility. When a third party is controller of personal data processed by Partner under this DPA, the obligations that Partner has towards Polestar under this DPA (and the rights conferred upon Polestar under this DPA) shall also apply towards such third party controller, insofar as is necessary in order to comply with existing data protection laws, including the GDPR. 3.1 The categories of personal data subject to this DPA are specified in Appendix 1 which forms an integral part of this DPA. Without prejudice to this list, any other personal data processed by the Partner on behalf of Polestar in the course of performing the Agreement shall be subject to this DPA. 4.1 Polestar does not warrant the lawfulness of the personal data insofar as such data is not collected directly by Polestar or if the Partner processes personal data outside of the instructions of Polestar. 5.1 Partner warrants and is liable for the lawfulness and accuracy of the data it collects, either directly or through its permitted sub-processors, in its capacity as processor of Polestar. 2. CONTROLLER’S INSTRUCTIONS 1.1 The Partner shall only process Personal Data on documented instructions from Polestar, including with regard to transfers of personal data to a third country or an international organisation, unless required to do so by European Union or EU Member State law to which the Partner is subject. In such a case, the
Schedule 2_Polestar Service Provider Agreement Version: 2 Page 4 of 16 24-03-25 Internal Information - Polestar Partner shall inform Polestar of that legal requirement before processing, unless that law prohibits such information on important grounds of public interest. The Agreement and this DPA, along with subsequent instructions issued to the Partner by Polestar (including by email) throughout the duration of the processing of personal data, are Polestar’s instructions to Partner for processing of personal data. 2.1 Partner shall immediately inform Polestar in writing (including by email), if at any time, in its opinion, instructions are lacking or if instructions are infringing provisions of the GDPR or other European Union or EU Member State data protection provisions. Partner shall not proceed with the processing of personal data unless and until (i) Polestar issues new instructions, or (ii) if applicable, Polestar confirms the previous instructions. 3.1 Subject to Section 2.2, if the Partner cannot provide such compliance for whatever reasons, it shall promptly inform Polestar of its inability to comply, in which case Polestar is entitled to suspend or terminate the Agreement without any penalty. 4.1 The Partner shall deal promptly and properly with all inquiries from Polestar relating to its, or its Sub- processors’, processing of personal data on behalf of Polestar. 3.

A “Force Majeure Event” means any event beyond a Party's reasonable control, which by its nature could not have been foreseen, or, if it could have been foreseen, was unavoidable, including strikes, lock-outs or other industrial disputes (whether involving its own workforce or a Third Party's), failure of energy sources or transport network, restrictions concerning motive force, acts of God, war, terrorism, insurgencies and riots, civil commotion, mobilization or extensive call ups, interference by civil or military authorities, national or international calamity, currency restrictions, requisitions, confiscation, armed conflict, malicious damage, breakdown of plant or machinery, nuclear, chemical or biological contamination, sonic boom, explosions, collapse of building structures, fires, floods, storms, stroke of lightning, earthquakes, loss at sea, epidemics or similar events, natural disasters or extreme adverse weather conditions, or default or delays of suppliers or subcontractors if such default or delay has been caused by a Force Majeure Event. A non-performing Party, which claims there is a Force Majeure Event, and cannot perform its obligations under the Service Agreement as a consequence thereof, shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to continue to perform or to mitigate the impact of its non- performance notwithstanding the Force Majeure Event and shall continue the performance of its obligations as soon as the Force Majeure Event ceases to exist. 15.2 Notices. All notices, demands, requests and other communications to any Party as set forth in, or in any way relating to the subject matter of, this Service Agreement must be in legible writing in the English language delivered by personal delivery, email transmission or prepaid overnight courier using an internationally recognized courier service and shall be effective upon receipt, which shall be deemed to have occurred: (a) in case of personal delivery, at the time and on the date of personal delivery; (b) if sent by email transmission, at the time and date indicated on a response confirming such successful email transmission; PS23-112 SA IP TEMPLATE VERSION 201022 14 Internal Information - Polestar (c) if delivered by courier, at the time and on the date of delivery as confirmed in the records of such courier service; or (d) at such time and date as delivery by personal delivery or courier is refused by the addressee upon presentation; in each case provided that if such receipt occurred on a non-business day, then notice shall be deemed to have been received on the next following business day; and provided further that where any notice, demand, request or other communication is provided by any party by email, such party shall also provide a copy of such notice, demand, request or other communication by using one of the other methods. All such notices, demands, requests and other communications shall be addressed to the address, and with the attention, as set forth in the Main Document, or to such other address, number or email address as a Party may designate. 15.3 Assignment. Neither Party may, wholly or partly, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of its rights and/or obligations under this Service Agreement without the other Party’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding the above, each Party may assign this Service Agreement to an Affiliate without the prior written consent of the other Party. 15.4 Waiver. Neither Party shall be deprived of any right under this Service Agreement because of its failure to exercise any right under this Service Agreement or failure to notify the infringing party of a breach in connection with the Service Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, rules on complaints and limitation periods shall apply. 15.5 Severability. In the event any provision of this Service Agreement is wholly or partly invalid, the validity of the Service Agreement as a whole shall not be affected and the remaining provisions of the Service Agreement shall remain valid. To the extent that such invalidity materially affects a Party’s benefit from, or performance under, the Service Agreement, it shall be reasonably amended. 15.6 Entire agreement. All arrangements, commitments and undertakings in connection with the subject matter of this Service Agreement (whether written or oral) made before the date of this Service Agreement are superseded by this Service Agreement and its Appendices. 15.7 Amendments. Any amendment or addition to this Service Agreement must be made in writing and signed by the Parties to be valid. 15.8 Survival. If this Service Agreement is terminated or expires pursuant to Section 14 above, Section 5.3 (License grant), Section 13 (Confidentiality), Section 16 (Governing Law), Section 17 (Dispute Resolution) as well as this Section 15.8, shall survive any termination or expiration and remain in force as between the Parties after such termination or expiration. Notwithstanding Section 15.8.1 above, if this Service Agreement is terminated due to Purchaser not paying the Service Charges, without legitimate reasons for withholding PS23-112 SA IP TEMPLATE VERSION 201022 15 Internal Information - Polestar payment, pursuant to Section 14 above, Section 5.3 (License Grant) shall not survive termination or remain in force as between the Parties after such termination. For the avoidance of doubt, what is stated in this Section 15.8.2 shall only apply in relation to such licenses granted to Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.3 above and any licenses granted to Service Provider under Section 5.3 shall thus nevertheless remain in force after such termination. 16. GOVERNING LAW 16.1 This Service Agreement and all non-contractual obligations in connection with this Service Agreement shall be governed by the substantive laws of: (a) the People’s Republic of China, if the Party that is providing the Services is incorporated under the laws of the People's Republic of China; and 16.2 without giving regard to its conflict of laws principles. 17. DISPUTE RESOLUTION 17.1 Escalation principles. In case the Parties cannot agree on a joint solution for handling disagreements or disputes, a deadlock situation shall be deemed to have occurred and each Party shall notify the other Party hereof by the means of a deadlock notice and simultaneously send a copy of the notice to the Steering Committee. Upon the receipt of such a deadlock notice, the receiving Party shall within ten days of receipt, prepare and circulate to the other Party a statement setting out its position on the matter in dispute and reasons for adopting such position, and simultaneously send a copy of its statement to the Steering Committee. Each such statement shall be considered by the next regular meeting held by the Steering Committee or in a forum meeting specifically called upon by either Party for the settlement of the issue. The members of the Steering Committee shall use reasonable endeavours to resolve a deadlock situation in good faith. As part thereof, the Steering Committee may request the Parties to in good faith develop and agree on a plan to resolve or address the breach, to be presented for the Steering Committee without undue delay. If the Steering Committee agrees upon a resolution or disposition of the matter, the Parties shall agree in writing on terms of such resolution or disposition and the Parties shall procure that such resolution or disposition is fully and promptly carried into effect. If the Steering Committee cannot settle the deadlock within 30 days from the deadlock notice pursuant to the section above, despite using reasonable endeavours to do so, such deadlock will be referred to the Strategic Board for decision. If no Steering Committee has been established between the Parties, the relevant issue shall be referred to the Strategic Board. Should the matter not have been resolved by the Strategic Board within 30 days counting from when the matter was referred to them, despite using reasonable endeavours to do so, the matter shall be resolved in accordance with Section 17.1.5 below. All notices and communications exchanged in the course of a deadlock resolution proceeding shall be considered Confidential Information of each Party and be subject to the confidentiality undertaking in Section 13 above. PS23-112 SA IP TEMPLATE VERSION 201022 16 Internal Information - Polestar Notwithstanding the above, the Parties agree that either Party may disregard the time frames set forth in this Section 17.1 and apply shorter time frames and/or escalate an issue directly to the Strategic Board in the event the escalated issue is of an urgent character and where the applicable time frames set out above are not appropriate. Arbitration. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in connection with this Service Agreement, or the breach, termination or invalidity thereof, shall: (a) if the Party that is providing the Services is incorporated under the laws of the People's Republic of China, be submitted to China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Committee (“CIETAC”) for arbitration, which shall be held in Shanghai and conducted in accordance with the CIETAC’s arbitration rules in effect at the time of applying for arbitration, whereas the language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English and Chinese; and Irrespective of any discussions or disputes between the Parties, each Party shall always continue to fulfil its undertakings under this Service Agreement unless an arbitral tribunal or court (as the case may be) decides otherwise. In any arbitration proceeding, any legal proceeding to enforce any arbitration award, or any other legal proceedings between the Parties relating to this Service Agreement, each Party expressly waives the defence of sovereign immunity and any other defence based on the fact or allegation that it is an agency or instrumentality of a sovereign state. Such waiver includes a waiver of any defence of sovereign immunity in respect of enforcement of arbitral awards and/or sovereign immunity from execution over any of its assets. All arbitral proceedings as well as any and all information, documentation and materials in any form disclosed in the proceedings shall be strictly confidential. ______________________________

If the non-transferring party chooses to exercise its pre-emptive right, then it shall purchase, and the transferring party must sell, the relevant equity interests in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Transfer Notice.
3.2.5 如果非转让方未在接受期限内通知转让方其购买相关股权的意图，则非转让方 应被视为已同意向转让通知中确定的第三方购买方进行拟议的转让。转让方之 后可以根据转让通知中所列明的条款和条件向第三方购买方转让相关股权。 If the non-transferring party fails to notify the transferring party of its intention to purchase the relevant equity interests within the Acceptance Period, then the non- transferring party shall be deemed to have consented to the proposed Transfer to the Third Party Purchaser identified in the Transfer Notice. The transferring party may thereafter Transfer the relevant equity interests to the Third Party Purchaser in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Transfer Notice. 3.3 随售权 Tag-along Right 3.3.1 即使本协议有任何相反规定，在现有股东根据本协议第 3.1 条转让股权时非转 让方就转让方拥有的股权享有随售权，根据该等随售权，如果现有股东拟向善 意第三方购买方转让其全部或部分股权，在非转让方不行使第 3.2 条规定的优 先购买权的情况下，转让方应促使第三方购买方向非转让方发出购买其部分或 全部股权的要约(“随售要约”)，其条款和条件不应劣于第三方购买方向转让方 提供的条款和条件。非转让方向第三方购买方出售的股权数额应不多于出售股 权乘以一个分数，该分数的分子为行使随售权的一方在转让通知当日持有的股 权，分母为转让方及行使随售权的全体股东在随售要约当日合计持有的股权。 如果第三方购买方未能根据本第 3.3 条向非转让方发出随售要约，则第三方购 买方将无权完成转让，且公司全体股东应促使公司不得登记与该等转让有关的 股权变更。如果非转让方接受随售要约，则转让方转让的完成应以非转让方持 有的股权被购买为前提条件。 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any Existing Shareholder Transfer any equity interests pursuant to Article 3.1 hereof, the non-transferring party shall have a tag-along right in respect of such Transfer, pursuant to which in the event that any Existing Shareholder intends to Transfer all or parts of its equity interests to a bona fide Third Party Purchaser, to the extent that the non-transferring party does not exercise its right of first refusal provided under Article 3.2, the transferring party shall procure that the Third Party Purchaser makes an offer (the “Tag-along Offer”) to the non-transferring party to purchase part or all of its equity interests on the terms and conditions no less favourable than those offered by the Third Party Purchaser to the transferring party simultaneously. The number of equity interests the non-transferring party sells to the Third Party Purchase shall be no more than the Sale Equity Interests multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of equity interests held by the non-transferring party on the date of Tag-along Offer and the denominator of which shall be the total number of equity interests held by the transferring party and the shareholders who exercise the tag-along right on the date of Tag-along Offer. If the Third Party Purchaser fails to make the Tag-along Offer to non- transferring party in accordance with Article 3.3, the Third Party Purchaser shall not be entitled to complete the Transfer and all the shareholders shall procure that the Company shall not register the change in the equity interests in connection with such Transfer. If the Tag-along Offer is accepted by the non-Transferring Party, the completion of the Transfer of the transferring Party shall be conditional on completion of the purchase of the Equity Interests held by the non-Transferring Party. 3.4 义务的承继 Assumption of Obligations 3.4.1 即使本协议有任何相反规定，除非每一受让方已向非转让方提供合法有效的承 诺，以履行转让方在本协议项下的义务，并同意所转让的股权受本协议和章程 的约束，如同该受让方是本协议的原始缔约方，否则不得根据本协议第 3.1 条、 第 3.2 条及第 3.3 条转让任何股权。 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no equity interests may be Transferred pursuant to Article 3.1, Article 3.2 and Article 3.3 under this Agreement unless each transferee has delivered to the non-transferring party a valid and effective undertaking to perform the obligations of the transferring party under this Agreement and agrees to be bound by this Agreement and the articles of association in respect of the equity interests so Transferred as if the transferee had been an original party to this Agreement. 3.5 优先认购权 Pre-emptive Right 3.5.1 对于公司股东会通过的增加注册资本，公司应根据本协议向全体股东发出要约， 该要约使全体股东有权自行或指定第三方最多按照其在公司的持股比例以与公 司拟向认购人提出的相同发行条件和对价优先认购公司新增的注册资本 (“优先 认购权”)。 In connection with any increase in the registered capital as approved by the shareholders’ meeting of the Company, the Company shall make an offer to all shareholders in accordance herewith, which shall entitle all shareholders to subscribe for the Company’s new registered capital, on their own or through a third party, based on the shareholding ratio in the Company at the same conditions and for the same consideration as those proposed to be offered by the Company to the Subscribers (the “Pre-emptive Right”). 3.5.2 在公司新增注册资本(“拟定发行”)前至少[***]日或全体股东书面同意的更短期 间内，公司应向全体股东送达关于拟定发行的书面通知(“发行通知”)，发行通 知应列明(i)此次发行股权的数量、类型及条款；(ii)该拟定发行实施后公司能够 收到的对价；和(iii)认购人的详细资料。 At least [***] days before the Company intends to increase the registered capital (“Proposed Issuance”) or within a shorter period with the written consent of all shareholders, the Company shall send a written notice of the Proposed Issuance to all shareholders (“Issuance Notice”). The Issuance Notice should specify (i) the amount, type and terms of the equity to be issued; (ii) the consideration that the Company will receive after the Proposed Issuance is implemented; and (iii) the details of the subscribers. 3.5.3 在公司向全体股东送达发行通知之后，全体股东必须在其收到发行通知后的 [***]日(“优先认购答复期限”)内以书面形式答复公司，表明其：(i)针对拟定发 行放弃优先认购权，或(ii)针对拟定发行行使优先认购权以及行权认购的主体与 股权数量(该答复此时称“优先认购通知”)。如全体股东在收到发行通知后未在 优先认购答复期限内以书面形式作出任何答复，则应视为其已针对拟定发行放 弃优先认购权，并应及时配合签署全部必要的文件、采取全部必要的行动配合 完成发行股权的交易。 After the Company delivers the Issuance Notice to all shareholders, all shareholders shall respond to the Company in writing within [***] days after receiving the Issuance Notice (the “Preferential Subscription Response Period”), indicating that it: (i) gives up the Pre-emptive Right for the Proposed Issuance, or (ii) exercises the Pre- emptive Right for the Proposed Issuance and the entities and the number of equity shares to be exercised (this reply is referred to as the “Pre-emptive Subscription Notice” at this time). If all shareholders do not respond in writing within the Pre- emptive Subscription Response Period after receiving the Issuance Notice, they shall be deemed to have given up their Pre-emptive Right for the Proposed Issuance and shall execute all necessary documents and take all necessary actions in a timely manner to facilitate the completion of the issuance of equity interests. 3.6 [***] 3.7 分红派息 Dividends 公司于第一次增资交割日后的资本公积、滚存未分配利润等由现有股东及本轮投资人 依据其实缴出资比例享有。 The Existing Shareholders and the Investors shall be entitled to the capital reserves and the accumulated and undistributed profit of the Company after the Closing Date of the First Capital Increase based on their respective paid-in capital contributions. 3.8 [***] 第4条 各方的约定 Article 4 Agreement of the Parties 4.1 [***] 4.2 知情权 Information Right 本轮投资人持有公司股权期间，本轮投资人对公司拥有知情权，包括但不限于： During the period when the Investor holds the equity of the Company, the Investor shall have the right to information about the Company, including but not limited to: 4.2.1 公司应在每个会计年度结束后[***]个月内向本轮投资人提供具有上市公司审计 资质的会计师事务所出具的审计报告； Within [***] months after the end of each fiscal year, an audit report shall be provided to the Investor issued by an accounting firm with qualification to audit listed companies. 4.2.2 公司应在每季度结束[***]个工作日内，向本轮投资人提供公司的季度财务报表； Within[***] Business Days of the end of each of the fiscal quarters, a quarterly financial statements of the Company shall be provided to the Investor. 4.2.3 公司应在本轮投资人合理要求的前提下，及时向本轮投资人提供关于公司生产 经营和财务状况的其他信息，包括但不限于为核实公司利润分配及税收分配合 理性之目的向本轮投资人提供必要的材料及信息。 The Company shall promptly provide the Investor with other information regarding the production, operation and financial status of the Company, as reasonably requested by the Investor, including but not limited to providing necessary materials and information to the Investor for the purpose of verifying the rationality of the Company’s profit distribution and tax distribution. 4.3 清算优先权 Liquidation Preference 4.3.1 如本轮投资人持有公司股权期间出现必须按法律程序进行清算的情形或出现任 何视为清算事件(定义见下文)时，各方同意，本轮投资人有权自公司资产或股 东因视为清算事件所取得的资产中优先于公司任何其他股东先行受偿[***]。 If a liquidation is required by law or any Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined below) occurs during the period when the Investor hold any equity of the Company, all Parties agree that the Investor shall have the right to be [***]. 4.3.2 视为清算事件。公司的“视为清算事件”应视为由以下事件引起或包括以下事件： Deemed Liquidation Event.
