Pursuant to the Markforged Holding Corporation
2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan as amended through the date hereof (the “Plan”), Markforged Holding Corporation (the
 “Company”) hereby grants an award of the number of Restricted Stock Units listed above (an “Award”) to the Grantee
named above. Each Restricted Stock Unit shall relate to one share of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Stock”)
of the Company.


 


1.            Restrictions
on Transfer of Award. This Award may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by the Grantee,
and any shares of Stock issuable with respect to the Award may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise encumbered or
disposed of until (i) the Restricted Stock Units have vested as provided in Paragraph 2 of this Agreement and (ii) shares of
Stock have been issued to the Grantee in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement.


 


2.            Vesting
of Restricted Stock Units. The restrictions and conditions of Paragraph 1 of this Agreement shall lapse on the Vesting Date or
Dates specified in the following schedule so long as the Grantee continues to have a Service Relationship with the Company or a Subsidiary
on such Dates. If a series of Vesting Dates is specified, then the restrictions and conditions in Paragraph 1 shall lapse only with
respect to the number of Restricted Stock Units specified as vested on such date.

The Administrator may at any time accelerate the
vesting schedule specified in this Paragraph 2.


 


3.            Termination
of Service Relationship. If the Grantee’s Service Relationship with the Company or a Subsidiary terminates for any reason (including
death or disability) prior to the satisfaction of the vesting conditions set forth in Paragraph 2 above, any Restricted Stock Units that
have not vested as of such date shall automatically and without notice terminate and be forfeited, and neither the Grantee nor any of
his or her successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such unvested
Restricted Stock Units.


 






    


     


    

 


4.            Issuance
of Shares of Stock. As soon as practicable following each Vesting Date (but in no event later than two and one-half months after the
end of the year in which the Vesting Date occurs), the Company shall issue to the Grantee the number of shares of Stock equal to the aggregate
number of Restricted Stock Units that have vested pursuant to Paragraph 2 of this Agreement on such date and the Grantee shall thereafter
have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to such shares.


 


5.            Incorporation
of Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions
of the Plan, including the powers of the Administrator set forth in Section 2(b) of the Plan. Capitalized terms in this Agreement
shall have the meaning specified in the Plan, unless a different meaning is specified herein.


 


6.            Tax
Withholding. The Grantee shall, not later than the date as of which the receipt of this Award becomes a taxable event for Federal
income tax purposes, pay to the Company or make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator for payment of any Federal, state, and
local taxes required by law to be withheld on account of such taxable event. The Company shall have the authority to cause the required
tax withholding obligation to be satisfied, in whole or in part, by (i) withholding from shares of Stock to be issued to the Grantee
a number of shares of Stock with an aggregate Fair Market Value that would satisfy the withholding amount due; or (ii) causing its
transfer agent to sell from the number of shares of Stock to be issued to the Grantee, the number of shares of Stock necessary to satisfy
the Federal, state and local taxes required by law to be withheld from the Grantee on account of such transfer.


 


7.            Section 409A
of the Code. This Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner that all provisions relating to the settlement of the Award are
exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code as “short-term deferrals” as described in Section 409A
of the Code.


 


8.            No
Obligation to Continue Service Relationship. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is obligated by or as a result of the Plan or
this Agreement to continue the Grantee in a Service Relationship with the Company or a Subsidiary and neither the Plan nor this Agreement
shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the Service Relationship of the Grantee at any
time.


 


9.            Integration.
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to this Award and supersedes all prior agreements and
discussions between the parties concerning such subject matter.


 


10.          Data
Privacy Consent. In order to administer the Plan and this Agreement and to implement or structure future equity grants, the Company,
its subsidiaries and affiliates and certain agents thereof (together, the “Relevant Companies”) may process any and all personal
or professional data, including but not limited to Social Security or other identification number, home address and telephone number,
date of birth and other information that is necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan and/or this Agreement (the “Relevant

to the Relevant Companies all Relevant Information; (ii) waives any privacy rights the Grantee may have with respect to the Relevant
Information; (iii) authorizes the Relevant Companies to store and transmit such information in electronic form; and (iv) authorizes
