ARTICLE
I.


 


GENERAL


 


Section 1.1            Incorporation
of Terms of Plan. The RSUs are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference.
In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall control.


 


ARTICLE

GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS


 


Section 2.1            Grant
of RSUs. Pursuant to the Grant Notice and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, effective
as of the Grant Date set forth in the Grant Notice, the Company hereby grants to the Participant an award of RSUs under the Plan in consideration
of the Participant’s past and/or continued employment with or service to the Company or any affiliates and for other good and valuable
consideration.


 


Section 2.2            Unsecured
Obligation to RSUs. Unless and until the RSUs have vested in the manner set forth in Article 2 hereof, the Participant
will have no right to receive Common Stock underlying any such RSUs. Prior to actual settlement of any RSUs, such RSUs will represent
an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company. The RSUs may not be transferred
in any manner otherwise than as set forth in Section 12 of the Plan. The terms of the RSUs shall be binding upon the executors,
administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Participant.


 


Section 2.3            Vesting
Schedule.


 


(a)          The
RSUs shall vest and become nonforfeitable with respect to the applicable portion thereof according to the vesting schedule set forth in
the Grant Notice (rounding down to the nearest whole Share).


 


(b)          Unless
otherwise determined by the Administrator, (i) upon Involuntary Termination or termination of Participant’s Continuous Service
Status as a result of his or her death or Disability, the Participant shall immediately forfeit any and all RSUs granted under this Agreement
that have not vested on or prior to the date on which such termination occurs, and Participant’s rights in any such RSUs that are
not so vested shall lapse and expire, and (ii) upon termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service Status for Cause, any
portion of the RSUs that has become vested on or prior to the date of such termination shall be forfeited on such date and shall not thereafter
become exercisable.

Section 2.4            Tax-Related
Items. As a condition to the grant, vesting and settlement of the RSUs and as further set forth in Section 10 of the
Plan, the Participant hereby agrees to make adequate provision for the satisfaction of (and will indemnify the Company and any Subsidiary
or Affiliate for) any applicable taxes or tax withholdings, social contributions, required deductions, or other payments, if any (“Tax-Related
Items”), which arise upon the grant, vesting or settlement of the RSUs, ownership or disposition of Shares, receipt of dividends,
if any, or otherwise in connection with the RSUs or the Shares, whether by withholding, direct payment to the Company, or otherwise as
determined by the Company in its sole discretion. Regardless of any action the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate takes with respect
to any or all applicable Tax-Related Items, Participant acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for all Tax- Related Items
is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed any amount actually withheld by the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate.
Participant further acknowledges and agrees that Participant is solely responsible for filing all relevant documentation that may be
required in relation to RSUs or any Tax-Related Items (other than filings or documentation that is the specific obligation of the Company
or any Subsidiary or Affiliate pursuant to Applicable Law), such as but not limited to personal income tax returns or reporting statements
in relation to the grant, vesting or settlement of the RSUs, the holding of Shares or any bank or brokerage account, the subsequent sale
of Shares, and the receipt of any dividends. Participant further acknowledges that the Company makes no representations or undertakings
regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items and does not commit to and is under no obligation to structure the terms or any aspect
of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Participant
also understands that Applicable Laws may require varying Share valuation methods for purposes of calculating Tax-Related Items, and
the Company assumes no responsibility or liability in relation to any such valuation or for any calculation or reporting of income or
Tax-Related Items that may be required of Participant under Applicable Laws. Further, if Participant has become subject to Tax-Related
Items in more than one jurisdiction, Participant acknowledges that the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate may be required to withhold
or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.


 


Section 2.5             Issuance
of Common Stock upon Vesting.


 


(a)            Within
120 days following the Vesting Date of any Restricted Stock Units pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof (but in no event later than
March 15 of the year following the year in which the Vesting Date occurs), the Company shall deliver to the Participant a number
of Shares (either by delivering one or more certificates for such shares of Common Stock or by entering such shares of Common Stock in
book entry form, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion) equal to the number of RSUs subject to this Award that vest on the
applicable Vesting Date, unless such RSUs terminate prior to the applicable Vesting Date pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company may delay a distribution or payment in settlement of RSUs if it reasonably determines that such payment or
distribution will violate federal securities laws or any other Applicable Laws, provided that such distribution or payment shall
be made at the earliest date at which the Company reasonably determines that the making of such distribution or payment will not cause
such violation, as required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(7)(ii), and provided further that no payment or distribution
shall be delayed under this Section 2.5(a) if such delay will result in a violation of Section 409A of the Code.


 


Section 2.6             Conditions
to Delivery of Shares. The Company is not obligated, and will have no liability for failure to issue or deliver any Shares
upon the vesting of the RSUs unless such issuance or delivery would comply with the Applicable Laws, with such compliance determined
by the Company in consultation with its legal counsel. Furthermore, the Participant understands that the Applicable Laws of the country
in which the Participant is residing or working at the time of grant or vesting of the RSUs (including any rules or regulations
governing securities, foreign exchange, tax, labor or other matters) may restrict or prevent settlement of the RSUs. The RSUs may not
be settled until such time as the Plan has been approved by the holders of capital stock of the Company, or if the issuance of such Shares
upon such settlement or the method of payment of consideration for such Shares would constitute a violation of any Applicable Laws, including
any applicable U.S. federal or state securities laws or any other law or regulation, including any rule under Part 221 of Title
12 of the Code of Federal Regulations as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board. As a condition to the issuance or delivery of the
Shares, the Company may require the Participant to make any representation and warranty to the Company as may be required by the Applicable
Laws. Assuming such compliance, for U.S. income tax purposes, the Shares shall be considered transferred to the Participant on the date
on which the Company initiates payment of the Shares in settlement of the RSUs, subject to Applicable Laws.

Section 2.7             Rights
as Stockholder. The holder of the RSUs shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company, including,
without limitation, voting rights and rights to dividends, in respect of the RSUs and any shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs
and deliverable hereunder unless and until such shares of Common Stock shall have been issued by the Company and held of record by such
holder (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No
adjustment shall be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the shares of Common Stock are
issued, except as provided in Section 11 of the Plan.


 


Section 2.8             Lock-Up
Agreement. If so requested by the Company or the underwriters in connection with a Public Offering, the Participant
shall not sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any securities of the Company
however or whenever acquired (except for those being registered) without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriters,
as the case may be, for 180 days from the effective date of the registration statement, plus such additional period, to the extent required
by FINRA rules, up to a maximum of 216 days from the effective date of the registration statement, and the Participant shall execute
an agreement reflecting the foregoing as may be requested by the Company or the underwriters at the time of such offering. “Public
Offering” means, whether directly or indirectly (including through one or more affiliated companies and/or IPO vehicles), (a) a
direct listing of the equity securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (b) any merger of the Company or any of its subsidiaries
with or into a “special purpose acquisition corporation” or “blank check company” (as defined by the Securities
and Exchange Commission) or (c) the Company or any of its subsidiaries’ first underwritten sale to the public of the Company’s
or such subsidiary’s equity securities (or its successor’s equity securities) under the Securities Act.

of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right, without the Participant’s consent, to cancel or forfeit outstanding
grants or impose other requirements on the Participant’s participation in the Plan, on the RSUs and the Shares and on any other

governing securities, foreign exchange, tax, labor, or other matters) may subject the Participant to additional procedural or regulatory
requirements that the Participant is and will be solely responsible for and must fulfill. [If applicable, such requirements may be outlined
in but are not limited to the Country-Specific Addendum (the “Addendum”) attached hereto as Exhibit B,
which forms part of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision herein, the Participant’s participation in the Plan shall be
subject to any applicable special terms and conditions or disclosures as set forth in the Addendum.] The Participant also understands

RSUs or other Awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company. In addition, the Participant’s participation in the

the Participant’s employment or service at any time, subject to Applicable Laws.

or Affiliate or third parties as may be selected by the Company, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering, and managing
the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Participant understands that refusal or withdrawal of consent may affect the Participant’s

or Affiliate may hold certain personal information about the Participant, including, but not limited to, the Participant’s name,
