intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

time, attention, skill and efforts to the performance of the duties required by or appropriate for the Executive’s position
with the Company. The Executive shall initially report to the Company’s chief executive officer, Toby Russell (the “CEO”)
and shall perform such duties commensurate with the Executive’s office as contained in the bylaws of the Company or as the
Executive shall reasonably be directed by the CEOs, including if requested, serving in positions at, and providing services to,
any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Company (collectively with the Company, the “Company Entities” and each
a “Company Entity”). Initially, during the COVID 19 pandemic (the “Pandemic”), Executive’s primary
work location shall be at his home office in North Carolina; provided that the Executive shall: (i) be able to perform his required
duties from that location, (ii) be available during the Company’s regular business hours in Pacific Standard Time, and (iii)
engage in such reasonable business travel as may be required to perform the Executive’s duties. After the Pandemic period,
the parties will mutually determine the appropriate work location for Executive going forward. If the parties determine that Executive

Efforts. Except for vacation, absences due to temporary illness and absences resulting from Disability (as defined
below), the Executive shall devote the Executive’s business time, attention and energies on a full-time basis to the
performance of the duties and responsibilities referred to in subsection (b) above. The Executive shall not during the Term
be engaged in any other business activity which, in the reasonable judgment of the CEO, would conflict with the ability of
the Executive to perform the Executive’s duties under this Agreement, whether or not such activity is pursued for gain,
profit or other pecuniary advantage. Nothing in this Section shall prevent Executive from engaging in additional activities
in connection with personal investments and community affairs, including serving on corporate, civic, or charitable boards,
and may continue to serve on any board of which the Executive was a member as of the Effective Date; provided, however, that
no such service or activities are materially inconsistent with Executive’s duties under this Agreement.


 


2. Base
Salary. During the Term, the Company shall pay to the Executive a base salary of $390,000 annually, which shall be subject
to review and, at the option of the Board of Directors for Shift Technologies, Inc. (the “Board”) (or the Compensation
Committee of the Board to the extent delegated by the Board), subject to increase (such salary, as the same may be increased from
time to time as aforesaid, being referred to herein as the “Base Salary”). The Base Salary shall be reviewed on an
annual basis for increases in accordance with the review process for senior level executives of the Company. The Base Salary shall
be payable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices.


 


 3. Incentive Compensation.




 


(a) Annual
Incentive Compensation. For 2021, subject to the bonus terms set forth in Exhibit A, the Executive shall be eligible to receive
a target bonus of up to two hundred percent (200%) of the Executive’s Base Salary pro-rated for the number of days Executive
works for the Company in 2021, subject in all respects to achievement of the specified performance goals (the “2021 Bonus”).
For subsequent periods, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in an annual bonus program established by the Company with
a target annual bonus amount measured as a percentage of the Executive’s Base Salary, which shall be set at not less than
one hundred percent (100%) of Executive’s Base Salary in the performance year, subject in all respects to achievement of
the specified performance goals (together with the 2021 Bonus, the “Annual Bonus”). Performance goals used for purposes
of determining the Executive’s Annual Bonus shall be established by the Board or the relevant subcommittee of the Board in
consultation with the CEO. Any Annual Bonus earned by the Executive shall be paid after the end of the fiscal year to which it
relates, at the same time and under the same terms and conditions as other executives of the Company; provided that in no event
shall the Executive’s Annual Bonus be paid later than March 15th of the fiscal year following the fiscal year for which it
was earned. The Executive must be employed through the payment date to earn and receive any Annual Bonus, including, without limitation,
the 2021 Bonus.


 


(b)
Long-Term Incentive Compensation. The Executive shall be eligible to participate in all equity compensation plans and programs
in place at the Company and shall receive such grants as may be provided from time to time by the Company to its officers. Any
equity awards made by the Company to the Executive shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Company’s
equity compensation plan and form of grant agreement, as may be amended from time to time. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Executive
shall be awarded an equity grant (the “2021 Equity Grant”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B
on the date the Company next approves equity grants, which shall be not later than June 30, 2021. Notwithstanding the forgoing,

4. Benefits.
During the Term, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in certain retirement and welfare benefit plans and programs made
available to the Company’s executives as a group, as such retirement and welfare plans may be in effect from time to time
and subject to the eligibility requirements of such plans. Except as expressly provided for herein, nothing in this Agreement shall
prevent the Company from amending or terminating any incentive, equity compensation, retirement, welfare or other employee benefit
plans, programs, policies or perquisites from time to time as the Company deems appropriate.


 


5. Paid
Time Off. During the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to paid time off (vacation, holiday, and sick leave), in accordance
with the Company’s policies.


 


6. Relocation
Expenses. In the event the parties mutually determine that the Executive should relocate of his principal residence to the
San Francisco Bay area or maintain dual residences (in North Carolina and California) for some period of time, the Company will
reimburse Executive for up to $50,000 in reasonable relocation expenses in accordance with terms that are mutually agreed upon
by the parties at the time of such relocation (the “Relocation Allowance”). For avoidance of doubt, the Company will

primary residence or both.


 


7. Reimbursement
of Expenses. During the Term, the Company shall reimburse the Executive, in accordance with the policies and practices of the
Company in effect from time to time, for all reasonable and necessary traveling expenses and other disbursements incurred by the

by the Executive to the Company of appropriate documentation therefore.


 


8. Indemnification.

by applicable Delaware law. This indemnification shall include Executive's right to request the Company to advance to Executive
his reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses as such fees and expenses are incurred (subject to an undertaking by Executive to repay
such advances if it is ultimately determined that Executive is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized under
applicable law). No amendment, modification or repeal of the indemnity provisions in the governing documents of the Company shall
have the effect of limiting or denying any such rights with respect to actions taken or proceedings arising prior to any amendment,
modification or repeal. The rights in this section shall not be exclusive of any other right that Executive may have or hereafter
acquire with respect to indemnification and advancement and payment of expenses.


 


9. Termination

    3


     


    

 


(b) Unless
the Executive complies with the Release Requirement (as defined below), no other payments or benefits shall be due under this Agreement
to the Executive, but the Executive shall be entitled to any amounts earned, accrued and owing, but not yet paid under Section
2, any benefits accrued and due in accordance with the terms of any applicable benefit plans and programs of the Company (the “Accrued
Obligations”).


 


(c) Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 9(b), upon termination under Section 9(a) above, subject to the Release Requirement, and so long as the
Executive continues to comply with the provisions of Section 16 below, in addition to the Accrued Obligations, the Executive shall
be entitled to receive:


 


(i) Continuation
of the Executive’s Base Salary for six (6) months (the “Severance Term”) at the rate in effect for the year in
which the Executive’s date of termination occurs (but no less than the amount scheduled to be in effect when a payment is
made pursuant to Section 2), which amount shall be paid in regular payroll installments over the applicable period following the
Executive’s termination date; and


 


(ii) A
prorated Annual Bonus for the year in which the Executive’s termination of employment occurs, which shall be determined by
multiplying the Executive’s Annual Bonus, determined based on actual performance of Company goals, without negative discretion,
and provided that any personal goals shall be considered to be fulfilled, by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of
days during which the Executive was employed by the Company in the year in which the termination date occurs and the denominator
of which is 365. The prorated Annual Bonus, if any, shall be paid at the same time as bonuses are paid to other employees of the
Company, but not later than March 15 of the fiscal year following the fiscal year for which it was earned; and


 


(iii) if
applicable, any Annual Bonus amount earned in the year prior to Executive’s termination, but not yet paid in accordance with
the Company’s annual bonus plan terms; provided that any such bonus shall be paid at the same time as bonuses are paid to
other employees of the company, but not later than March 15th of the fiscal year following the fiscal year for which
it was earned; and


 


(iii)
If the Executive timely and properly elects health continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation
Act of 1985 (“COBRA”), then continued health (including hospitalization, medical, dental, vision etc.) insurance
coverage substantially similar in all material respects as the coverage provided to the Company’s then other active
senior executives for twelve (12) months; provided that the Executive shall pay an amount equal to the amount active
employees pay for such coverage as of the date of the Executive’s termination (the “Monthly COBRA Costs”)
and the period of COBRA health care continuation coverage provided under section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code, as
amended and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (the “Code”) shall run concurrently with the
period; provided further that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of any benefits provided by this Section 9(d) shall
be reduced or eliminated to the extent the Executive becomes entitled to duplicative benefits by virtue of the
Executive’s subsequent or other employment. The Executive acknowledges that the payments pursuant to this Section 9(d)
are taxable and subject to applicable withholding and payroll taxes.


 






    4


     


    

 


10. Voluntary
Termination. The Executive may voluntarily terminate the Executive’s employment for any reason or no reason, with prior
written notice. In such event (other than a resignation with Good Reason), after the effective date of such termination, no payments
shall be due under this Agreement.


 


11. Death;
Disability. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company by reason of death or, subject to the requirements
of applicable law, Disability (as defined below), upon the Executive’s date of termination or death, no payments shall be
due under this Agreement, except that the Executive (or in the event of the Executive’s death, the Executive’s executor,
legal representative, administrator or designated beneficiary, as applicable), shall be entitled to the Accrued Obligations.


 


12. Cause.
The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment at any time for Cause upon written notice to the Executive, in which
event all payments under this Agreement shall cease, except for the Accrued Obligations.


 


13. Application
of Section 280G. If any of the payments or benefits received or to be received by the Executive (including, without
limitation, any payment or benefits received in connection with a Change in Control or the Executive’s termination of
employment, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement, or otherwise) (all
such payments collectively referred to herein as the “280G Payment”) constitute “parachute payments”
within the meaning of Code Section 280G and will be subject to the excise tax imposed under Code Section 4999 (the
“Excise Tax”), then the 280G Payment shall be equal to the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced Amount” shall
be either (i) the largest portion of the 280G Payment that would result in no portion of the 280G Payment being subject to
the Excise Tax, or (ii) the largest portion of the 280G Payment, up to and including the total 280G Payment, whichever
amount, after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes and the Excise Tax
(all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in the Executive’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of
the greater amount of the 280G Payment, notwithstanding that all or some portion of the 280G Payment may be subject to the
Excise Tax. In making the determination described above, the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall make a
reasonable determination of the value to be assigned to any restrictive covenants in effect for the Executive, and the amount
of the 280G Payment shall be reduced by the value of those restrictive covenants to the extent consistent with Code Section
280G. If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that the 280G
Payment equals the Reduced Amount, the amounts payable or benefits to be provided to the Executive shall be reduced such that
the economic loss to the Executive as a result of the “parachute payment” elimination is minimized. In applying
this principle, the reduction shall be made in a manner consistent with the requirements of Code Section 409A and where two
economically equivalent amounts are subject to reduction but payable at different times, such amounts shall be reduced on a
pro rata basis but not below zero. All determinations to be made under this Section 13 shall be made by an independent
accounting firm, consulting firm or other independent service provider selected by the Company immediately prior to the
Change in Control (the “Firm”), which shall provide its determinations and any supporting calculations both to
the Company and the Executive within ten (10) days of the Change in Control. Any such determination by the Firm shall be
binding upon the Company and the Executive. All of the fees and expenses of the Firm in performing the determinations
referred to in this Section 13 shall be borne solely by the Company.

 14. Definitions.




 


(a) Cause.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean the Executive’s action, or failure to act, during the Executive’s
employment with the Company that is determined to constitute any of the following: (i) Executive's failure to reasonably perform
the duties assigned to him by either CEO or the Board; (ii) dishonesty, intentional misconduct or material breach of any agreement
with any Company Entity; or (iii) commission of a crime involving dishonesty, breach of trust, or physical or emotional harm to
any person. Prior to any termination for Cause pursuant to each such event listed in (i) or (ii) above, to the extent such event(s)
is capable of being cured by the Executive, the Company shall give the Executive written notice thereof describing in reasonable
detail the circumstances constituting Cause and the Executive shall have the opportunity to remedy same within thirty (30) days
after receiving written notice, it being understood and agreed that Executive will not be entitled to any notice or cure period
for any failure that occurs or continues subsequent to the expiration of the one cure period referenced herein.


 


(b) Change
in Control. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall have the same meaning ascribed to such
term under the Company’s 2020 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan, as in effect on the date hereof and as may be amended from
time to time, or such successor plan.


 


(c) Disability.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean the Executive has been unable to perform the essential functions
of the Executive’s position with the Company, either with or without a reasonable accommodation, by reason of physical or
mental incapacity for a period of six consecutive months, subject to any obligations or limitations imposed by federal, state or
local laws, including any duty to accommodate Executive under the federal Americans with Disabilities Act or applicable state law.


 


(d) Good
Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean: (i) a material diminution in the
Executive’s compensation as set forth in Sections 2 and 3(a) hereof; or (ii) a meaningful and detrimental alteration in
the Executive’s position or in the nature or status of the Executive’s responsibilities or authority. The
Executive must provide written notice of termination for Good Reason to the Company within sixty (60) days after the event
constituting Good Reason first occurs, which notice shall state such Good Reason in reasonable detail. The Company shall have
a period of thirty (30) days in which it may correct the act or failure to act that constitutes the grounds for Good Reason
as set forth in the Executive’s notice of termination. If the Company does not correct the act or failure to act, the
Executive must terminate the Executive’s employment for Good Reason within sixty (60) days after the end of the cure
period, in order for the termination to be considered a Good Reason termination.


 




    6


     


    

 


(e) Release
Requirement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Executive shall not be entitled to receive any payment that
is subject to the requirements of this Section 14(e) (the “Release Requirement”) unless, in each case, the Executive
(or the Executive's legal representative) has executed and delivered to the Company a general release in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit C (subject to updates for changes in law and facts, as reasonably determined by the Company) (the “General Release”),
which General Release shall be in full force and effect (and no longer subject to revocation) within sixty (60) calendar days after
the Executive's termination of employment (the “Release Effective Date”). To the extent that any payment subject to
the Release Requirement is deferred compensation under Section 409A that is not otherwise exempt from the application of Section
409A, and if the sixty (60) calendar day period referenced in the preceding sentence spans two calendar years, then, solely to
the extent necessary to avoid the incurrence of adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, the payment of such amount
will not occur until the second calendar year.

in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive’s continuing or future participation in or rights under any benefit,

any jurisdiction, then such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be modified or restricted to the extent necessary to make
such provision valid, binding and enforceable, or if such provision cannot be modified or restricted, then such provision shall,

court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any related agreement or for
recognition or enforcement of any judgment. Each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that jurisdiction
and venue in such courts would be proper, and hereby waive any objection that such courts are an improper or inconvenient forum.
Each of the Parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced
in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Each of the Parties hereto irrevocably and
unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter
have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any related agreement
in any California state or federal court. Each of the Parties hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.


 


(m) Withholding.
All payments under this Agreement shall be made subject to applicable tax withholding, and the Company shall withhold from any
payments under this Agreement all federal, state and local taxes as the Company is required to withhold pursuant to any law or
governmental rule or regulation. The Executive shall bear all expense of, and be solely responsible for, all federal, state and
local taxes due with respect to any payment received under this Agreement.


 










    14


     


    

 


(n) Compliance with Section 409A of the Code.


 


(i) This
Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code and its corresponding regulations, to the extent applicable. Severance
benefits under the Agreement are intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code under the “short term deferral”
exemption, to the maximum extent applicable, and then under the “separation pay” exemption, to the maximum extent applicable.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, payments may only be made under this Agreement upon an event and in
a manner permitted by Section 409A of the Code, to the extent applicable. As used in the Agreement, the term “termination
of employment” shall mean the Executive’s separation from service with the Company within the meaning of Section 409A
of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. In no event may the Executive, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar
year of a payment. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each payment hereunder shall be treated as a separate payment and
the right to a series of payments shall be treated as the right to a series of separate payments. All reimbursements and in-kind
benefits provided under the Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the timing of the Executive’s execution
of the Release, directly or indirectly, result in the Executive designating the calendar year of payment, and if a payment that
is subject to execution of the Release could be made in more than one taxable year, payment shall be made in the later taxable
year.


 


(ii) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, if, at the time of the Executive’s termination of employment with the Company, the Company
has securities which are publicly traded on an established securities market and the Executive is a “specified employee”
(as such term is defined in section 409A of the Code) and it is necessary to postpone the commencement of any payments or benefits
otherwise payable under this Agreement as a result of such termination of employment to prevent any accelerated or additional tax
under section 409A of the Code, then the Company will postpone the commencement of the payment of any such payments or benefits
hereunder (without any reduction in such payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to the Executive) that are not otherwise
paid within the ‘short-term deferral exception’ under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(4), and the ‘separation pay
exception’ under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), until the first payroll date that occurs after the date that is six
months following the Executive’s “separation of service” (as such term is defined under code section 409A of
the Code) with the Company. If any payments are postponed due to such requirements, such postponed amounts will be paid in a lump
sum to the Executive on the first payroll date that occurs after the date that is six months following Executive’s separation
of service with the Company. If the Executive dies during the postponement period prior to the payment of postponed amount, the
amounts withheld on account of section 409A of the Code shall be paid to the personal representative of the Executive’s estate
within sixty (60) days after the date of the Executive’s death.

AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated _____________, 2021 (the “Date of Grant”),
between Shift Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Oded Shein (“Grantee”),
is made pursuant and subject to the provisions of the Company’s 2020 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”),
a copy of which has been made available to the Grantee. All capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined in this
Agreement have the same meaning given to them in the Plan.


 


1. 
Award. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and subject further to the terms and conditions herein set forth,
the Company hereby grants the Grantee 273,311 Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”), subject to the vesting terms
set forth in Section 2 below. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, each vested RSU represents the right
to receive one (1) share of Stock. The RSUs shall apply only with respect to a whole number of shares of Stock.


 


2. 
Vesting. Certain of the RSUs shall vest based on the passage of time (“Time RSUs”) and certain of the
RSUs shall vest upon the achievement of specified performance metrics (“Performance RSUs” or “PSUs”).
For purposes of clarity, references to “RSUs” include both Time RSUs and PSUs. 204,983 RSUs subject to this award are
Time RSUs and 68,328 RSUs subject to this award are Performance RSUs. The Time RSUs and Performance RSUs shall vest in accordance

		a.	1/4th of the Time RSUs shall vest on the first (1st) anniversary of the Vesting
Commencement Date; and



 


		b.	3/4th of the Time RSUs shall vest quarterly over the three (3) year period following
the first (1st) anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date, such that 1/12th of such amount shall vest
on the last day of the three (3) month period following the first (1st) anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date
and 1/12th of such amount will vest on the last day of each of the eleven (11) successive three (3) month periods thereafter.



 


(ii) 
Time RSUs will vest in whole numbers; any fractional amounts will be rounded down and will be available to vest (in whole numbers)
in the next vesting period.


 






    18


     


    

 


(iii) 
From and after the Vesting Commencement Date through the date on which the Time RSUs become fully vested pursuant to subparagraph
(i) above, the unvested portion of the grant of Time RSUs remains subject to forfeiture in accordance with the terms of Section
3 hereof.


 


 (b) Performance RSUs. 




 


(i) 
The RSUs designated as PSUs shall vest, subject to the Grantee’s continuous employment with the Company (or an Affiliate
of the Company), on a quarterly basis, provided that the applicable Performance Hurdle for the applicable Performance Year has
been met (as such terms are provided in the table below), and the following rules shall apply to such vesting:


 


a. 
If a Performance Hurdle has not been met by the end of a quarterly vesting period, the PSUs available to vest during such quarter
shall be available to vest in the next quarterly vesting period within that Performance Year and shall vest, if applicable, on
the last day of the quarterly vesting period in which the Performance Hurdle is met.


 


b. 
If the Performance Hurdle for the 3rd Performance Year is not met, the PSUs available to vest in such 3rd
Performance Year remain eligible to vest in any applicable quarter of the 4th Performance Year if the 4th
Performance Year’s Performance Hurdle is met during that year, such vesting to occur on the last day of such quarterly vesting
period. Subject to the preceding sentence, if a Performance Hurdle for a Performance Year is not met, the PSUs eligible to vest
with respect to that Performance Year shall immediately terminate and become null and void.


 


c. 
PSUs will vest in whole numbers; any fractional amounts will be rounded down and will be available to vest (in whole numbers) in
the next vesting period.

	The one year period commencing on the second anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date (the “3rd Performance Year”)
  
	 	12.5% on the last day of each of the first, second, third and fourth quarters of the 3rd Performance Year
  
	 	The Company’s stock price closes at $23 or greater for 30 Trading Days out of any 45 consecutive Trading Days during the 3rd Performance Year

(ii) From
and after the Vesting Commencement Date through the date on which the PSUs become fully vested pursuant to subparagraph (i) above,
the unvested portion of the grant of PSUs remains subject to forfeiture in accordance with the terms of Section 3 hereof.


 


3. Termination
of Service.


 


(a) 
General rule.  When a Grantee’s employment with the Company (or an Affiliate of the Company) terminates, any
outstanding and unvested Time RSUs and PSUs shall immediately terminate and become null and void.


 


(b) 
Good Leaver. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the Release Requirement, when a Grantee’s employment with the
Company (or an Affiliate of the Company) terminates as a Good Leaver during either the 3rd or 4th Performance
Year, any outstanding and unvested PSUs with respect to which the applicable Performance Hurdle for the Performance Year in which
termination occurred has not been met as of the termination shall be eligible to vest if the applicable Performance Hurdle is met
by the end of such Performance Year. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to PSUs referenced in the preceding sentence, (i)
if the Performance Hurdle is met for the Performance Year of termination, the PSUs eligible to vest in that year shall vest on
a prorated basis by multiplying the eligible PSUs by a ratio equal to the number of days the Grantee was employed by the Company
(or an Affiliate) during the Performance Year divided by 365, (ii) no PSUs shall be eligible for rollover to the next Performance
Year, and (iii) such PSUs shall be deemed vested when, if ever, the applicable Performance Hurdle is met.


 


(c) 
Termination following a Change of Control. With respect to a termination of the Grantee’s employment by the Company without
Cause (other than due to Disability) or due to the Grantee’s resignation with Good Reason (but only to the extent the Grantee
has an employment agreement with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company that defines Good Reason) within one (1) year following
a Change of Control, subject to the Release Requirement, any Time RSUs and PSUs that are outstanding and unvested as of the date
of termination shall become vested when the General Release is in full force and effect (and no longer subject to revocation).


 






    20


     


    

 


(d) 
Definitions.


 


(i) 
“Cause” has the meaning set forth in Grantee’s employment agreement, if any, and otherwise means the Grantee’s
action, or failure to act, during the Grantee’s employment with the Company that is determined to constitute any of the following:
(i) performance of any act or failure to perform any act in bad faith and to the detriment of any Company Entities; (ii) dishonesty,
intentional misconduct or material breach of any agreement with any Company Entity; or (iii) commission of a crime involving dishonesty,
breach of trust, or physical or emotional harm to any person. Prior to any termination for Cause pursuant to each such event listed
in (i) or (ii) above, to the extent such event(s) is capable of being cured by the Grantee, the Company shall give the Grantee
written notice thereof describing in reasonable detail the circumstances constituting Cause and the Grantee shall have the opportunity
to remedy same within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice.


 


(ii) 
“Disability” has the meaning set forth in Grantee’s employment agreement, if any, and otherwise shall mean the
Grantee has been unable to perform the essential functions of the Grantee’s position with the Company, either with or without
a reasonable accommodation, by reason of physical or mental incapacity for a period of six consecutive months, subject to any obligations
or limitations imposed by federal, state or local laws, including any duty to accommodate Grantee under the federal Americans with
Disabilities Act or applicable state law.


 


(iii) 
“General Release” means a general release of claims, including without limitation all employment and termination claims,
if any, in favor of the Company and its affiliates in the form and substance provided by the Company, provided that, if the Grantee
has an employment agreement with the Company that specifies a form of general release, then such general release will be used (as
conformed to include the benefits hereunder, if any) as the General Release.


 


(iv) 
“Good Leaver” means the Grantee’s employment was terminated by the Company without Cause (including if due to
disability), the Grantee died or the Grantee resigned with Good Reason (but only to the extent the Grantee has an employment agreement
with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company that defines Good Reason).


 


(v) 
“Good Reason” has the meaning set forth in Grantee’s employment agreement, if any.


 


(vi) 
“Release Requirement” the Grantee shall not be entitled to receive any benefit described in Section 3(b) unless, in
each case, the Grantee (or the Grantee's legal representative) has executed and delivered to the Company a General Release, which
General Release shall be in full force and effect (and no longer subject to revocation) within sixty (60) calendar days after the
Grantee's termination of employment. To the extent that any benefit subject to the Release Requirement is deferred compensation
under Section 409A that is not otherwise exempt from the application of Section 409A, and if the sixty (60) calendar day period
referenced in the preceding sentence spans two calendar years, then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid the incurrence of
adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, the payment of such amount will not occur until the second calendar year.


 






    21


     


    

 


4. Settlement. During
the first open trading window of the Company following the end of each calendar quarter (i.e., March 31, June 30, September 30,
December 31), the Company shall deliver to the Grantee one (1) share of Stock in settlement of each RSU that became vested during
such calendar quarter, except that, any RSUs that vest on or before December 31, 2021, shall be settled during the first open trading
window of the Company following December 31, 2021, provided that, in no event (i) will an RSU be settled later than March 15 of
the year following the year in which such RSU vested, nor (ii) will the Grantee be permitted, directly or indirectly, to specify
the taxable year of delivery of any RSU subject to this Agreement.


 


5. Delivery
of Stock. Certificates or evidence of book-entry shares representing the Stock issued upon settlement of RSUs pursuant
to Section 4 of this Agreement will be delivered to or otherwise made available to the Grantee (or, at the discretion of the Grantee,
joint in the names of the Grantee and the Grantee’s spouse) or to the Grantee’s nominee at such person’s request. Delivery
of shares of Stock under this Agreement will comply with all applicable laws (including, the requirements of the Exchange Act),
and the applicable requirements of any securities exchange or similar entity.


 


6. Shareholder
Rights. An RSU is not a share of Stock, and thus, the Grantee will have no rights as a stockholder with respect to the
RSUs.  Dividend Equivalents shall accrue on shares underlying the RSUs awarded hereunder and such dividends will be paid to
Grantee upon the vesting of such RSUs.


 


7. Transferability. The
RSUs subject to this Award may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered before
they vest in accordance with Section 2. After such RSUs vest and are settled in accordance with Sections 2 and 4, no sale or disposition
of such shares shall be made in the absence of an effective registration statement under the Exchange Act with respect to such
shares unless an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that such sale or disposition will not constitute a violation of
the Exchange Act or any other applicable securities laws is first obtained.


 


8. Change
in Capital Structure. The terms of this Agreement, including the number of shares of Stock subject to this RSU shall be
adjusted as the Administrator determines is equitably required in the event the Company effects one or more stock dividends, spinoffs,
recapitalizations, stock splits, combinations, exchanges or consolidations of shares or other similar changes in capitalization.


 


9. Withholding.


 


(a) The
Grantee understands that when the RSUs are settled in accordance with Section 4, the Grantee will be obligated to recognize income,
for Federal, state and local income tax purposes, as applicable, in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the share of Stock
as of such date, and the Grantee is responsible for all tax obligations that arise in connection with the RSUs.


 






    22


     


    

 


(b) Whenever
shares of Stock are to be issued upon settlement of the RSUs, the Grantee shall assume sole responsibility for discharging all
tax and other obligations associated therewith. The Company has no duty or obligation to minimize the tax consequences to the Grantee
and will not be liable to the Grantee for any adverse tax consequences arising in connection with this Award. The Grantee agrees
to indemnify the Company against any non-U.S., U.S. federal, state and local withholding taxes for which the Company may be liable
in connection with the Grantee’s acquisition, ownership or disposition of any shares of Stock.


 


(c) In
its sole discretion, the Administrator of the Plan may permit the Grantee to satisfy the Company’s tax withholding obligation
with respect to RSUs settled in Stock by having shares withheld in accordance with Section 16(b) of the Plan. The elections described
in this subsection (c) must be in a form and manner prescribed by the Administrator and may be subject to the prior approval of
the Administrator.


 


10. Compliance
with Section 409A of the Code. It is the intention of the Company that the Award and Plan are intended either to provide compensation
that is exempt from Section 409A of the Code and the rules, regulations and other authorities promulgated thereunder (including
the transition rules thereof) (collectively, “Section 409A”), (by reason of being a short-term deferral) or
that is nonqualified deferred compensation that is compliant in all regards with the requirements of Code Section 409A, and all
provisions of this Agreement will be construed and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent. If the Grantee is a “Specified
Employee” (within the meaning set forth in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code) as of the date of the Grantee’s
“separation from service” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) and without regard to
any alternative definition thereunder), then the issuance of any shares of Stock that would otherwise be made upon the date of
the separation from service or within the first six (6) months thereafter will not be made on the originally scheduled date(s)
and will instead be issued in a lump sum on the earlier of: (i) the fifth business day following the Grantee’s death,
or (ii) the date that is six (6) months and one day after the date of the separation from service, with the balance of
the shares of Stock issued thereafter in accordance with the original vesting and issuance schedule set forth above, but if and
only if such delay in the issuance of the shares of Stock is necessary to avoid the imposition of adverse taxation on the Grantee

a “separate payment” for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2).

Effect. Subject to the limitations stated above and in the Plan, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the

Release
Agreement


 


This
Release Agreement (the “Agreement”), by and between Shift Platform, Inc. (the “Company”) and Oded Shein
(“You” or “Your”) (the Company and You collectively referred to as the “Parties”) is entered
into and effective as of__________________(the “Effective Date”). You and the Company previously entered into that certain
Employment Agreement, dated as of ________________, as amended from time to time (the “Employment Agreement”).


 


1. Separation
Date; Accrued Obligations. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Your employment with the Company terminated effective
as of _________________ (the “Separation Date”). The Company will pay You all Accrued Obligations (as defined in
the Employment Agreement), as provided in Section 9(b) of the Employment Agreement.


 


2.
 Separation Payments. Provided that You satisfy the conditions of this Agreement, including the return of all Company property,
and do not revoke this Agreement, the Company shall pay [DESCRIBE APPLICABLE BENEFITS] in accordance with Section [ ] of
the Employment Agreement, which together with Sections [15(c), 16, and 17] of the Employment Agreement, are incorporated herein
(the “Separation Payments”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a material, uncured breach of this Agreement,
You acknowledge and agree that the Company shall have the right, upon five (5) days’ notice to You, to file a lawsuit against
You for damages.


 


3.
Employee Benefits; Equity Awards. Because You are no longer employed, Your rights to any particular employee benefit shall
be governed by applicable law and the terms and provisions of the Company’s various employee benefit plans and arrangements.
You agree that the treatment of any equity-based compensation awards granted to You by Company under an equity agreement will
be governed by the terms of such awards and such equity agreement as such awards and terms are described in Appendix A, attached
hereto (the “Unreleased Equity Awards”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Release shall
not apply to the enforcement of the Unreleased Equity Awards. Following the Separation Date, the Company will not grant You any
equity-based compensation awards.


 


4. Release.
In exchange for the Separation Payments, You release and discharge the Company1  from any and all claims, charges,
or lawsuits of any kind or nature (and will not cause any action or claim to be commenced) based upon facts, transactions, or
omissions that occurred on or before the date You sign this Agreement, arising out of Your employment or the cessation of
Your employment, claims arising out of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), 29 U.S.C. §§
1001-1461, claims to stock options, claims to the vesting of stock options, claims arising out of or relating to equity or
other ownership interest in the Company (other than the Unreleased Equity Awards), claims for breach of contract, claims for
tort, negligent hiring, negligent retention, negligent supervision, negligent training, employment discrimination,
retaliation, or harassment, as well as any other statutory or common law claims, at law or in equity, recognized under any
federal, state, or local law. You also release any claims for unpaid back pay, sick pay, vacation pay, expenses, bonuses,
claims to commissions, attorneys’ fees, or any other compensation. You agree that You are not entitled to any
additional payment or benefits from the Company, except as set forth in this Agreement or under an Unreleased Equity Award.
You further agree that You have suffered no harassment, retaliation, employment discrimination, or work- related injury or
illness and that You do not believe that this Agreement is a subterfuge to avoid disclosure of sexual harassment or gender
discrimination allegations or to waive such claims. You acknowledge and represent that You (i) have been fully paid
(including, but not limited to, any overtime to which You are entitled, if any) for hours You worked for the Company, and
(ii) do not claim that the Company violated or denied Your rights under the Fair Labor Standards Act. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the release of claims set forth in this Section does not waive (x) Your right to receive benefits under the
Company’s 401(k) or other employee benefit plan, if any, that either (a) have accrued or vested prior to the Effective
Date, or (b) are intended, under the terms of such plans, to survive Your separation from the Company, (y) Your rights to be
indemnified under applicable law or Your indemnity agreement or any other indemnification arrangement or D&O insurance
policy applicable to You or (z) Your rights to enforce this Agreement, workers’ compensation claims, claims for
unemployment insurance benefits, or claims that, by law, cannot be waived.

purposes of Sections 4, 5 and 6 of this Agreement, the term “Company” includes the Company, the Company’s parents,
subsidiaries, affiliates, and all related companies, as well as each of their respective current and former officers, directors,
shareholders, members, managers, employees, agents, and any other representatives, any employee benefits plan of the Company,
and any fiduciary of those plans, in each case, in their capacity as such.

5.
ADEA/OWBPA Waiver. By agreeing to this provision, You release and waive any right or claim against the Company1
arising out of Your employment or the termination of Your employment with the Company under the Age Discrimination in Employment
Act, as amended, 29 U.S.C. § 621 et seq. (“ADEA”), and the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, 29 U.S.C. §
621 et seq. (“OWBPA”) (such release and waiver referred to as the “Waiver”). You understand and agree
that, (i) this Agreement is written in a manner that You understand; (ii) You do not release or waive rights or claims that may
arise after You sign this Agreement; (iii) You waive rights and claims You may have had under the OWBPA and the ADEA, but only
in exchange for payments and/or benefits in addition to anything of value to which You are already entitled; (iv) You are advised
to consult with an attorney before signing this Agreement; (v) You have [twenty- one (21)]/[forty-five (45)] calendar days from
receipt of this Agreement to consider whether to sign it (the “Offer Period”). The Parties agree that the Company
may revoke this offer at any time. However, if You sign before the end of the Offer Period, You acknowledge that Your decision
to do so was knowing, voluntary, and not induced by fraud, misrepresentation, or a threat to withdraw, alter, or provide different
terms prior to the expiration of the Offer Period. You agree that changes or revisions to this Agreement, whether material or
immaterial, do not restart the running of the Offer Period; (vi) You have seven (7) calendar days after signing this Agreement
to revoke this Agreement (the “Revocation Period”). If You revoke, the Agreement shall not be effective or enforceable
and You shall not be entitled to the consideration set forth in this Agreement. To be effective, the revocation must be in writing
and received by [TBD], prior to expiration of the Revocation Period; and (vii) this Waiver shall not become effective or enforceable
until the Revocation Period has expired.

statute, executive order, regulation, common law and/or public policy related to unknown claims, including but not limited to
California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides:


 


A
general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or
her favor at the time of executing the release, and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her
settlement with the debtor or released party.


 






    27


     


    

 


7.
No Admission of Liability. This Agreement is not an admission of liability by the Company. The Company denies any liability
whatsoever. The Company enters into this Agreement to reach a mutual agreement concerning Your separation from the Company.


 


8.
Restrictive Covenants and Dispute Resolution. You acknowledge and agree that You continue to be subject to the provisions
of Sections 15(c), 16 and 17 of the Employment Agreement, the terms of which survive Your separation from the Company and are
incorporated herein mutatis mutandis.

electronic storage device, software, computer files, marketing and sales materials, and any other property, record, document,
or piece of equipment belonging to the Company. You shall not (a) retain any copies of the Company’s property, including
any copies existing in electronic form, which are in Your possession, custody, or control, or (b) destroy, delete, or alter any
Company property, including, but not limited to, any files stored electronically, without the Company’s prior written consent.
The obligations contained in this Section shall also apply to any property which belongs to a third party, including, but not
limited to, (i) any entity which is affiliated or related to the Company, or (ii) the Company’s customers, licensors, or
suppliers.


 


10.
Prohibited Post-Employment Activities. You acknowledge and agree that, effective as of the Separation Date: (a) You removed
any reference to the Company as Your current employer from any source You control, either directly or indirectly, including, but
not limited to, any Social Media such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Google+, Twitter and/or Instagram, and (b) You are not permitted
to represent Yourself as currently being employed by the Company to any person or entity, including, but not limited to, on any
Social Media. For purposes of this Section, “Social Media” means any form of electronic communication (such as Web
sites for social networking and micro blogging) through which users create online communities to share information, ideas, personal
messages and other content, such as videos.


 


11.
Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the provisions of the Employment Agreement incorporated herein, constitutes
the entire agreement between the Parties. This Agreement supersedes any prior communications, agreements, or understandings, whether
oral or written, between the Parties arising out of or relating to Your employment and the termination of that employment. Other
than the terms of this Agreement, no other representation, promise, or agreement has been made with You to cause You to sign this
Agreement.


 


12. Non-Interference.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or in any other agreement between You and the Company,

Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or any other federal, state, or local
governmental agency or commission (each a “Government Agency”), (b) communicate with any Government Agency or
