Holders in such Form S-1 Registration have been sold, in accordance with Section 3.1 of this Agreement. For the

(i) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated, and (ii) a majority-in-interest of the Demanding
Holders initiating such Demand Registration thereafter affirmatively elect to continue with such Registration and accordingly notify
the Company in writing, but in no event later than five (5) days, of such election; and provided, further,

of the Demanding Holders so advise the Company as part of their Demand Registration that the offering of the Registrable Securities pursuant
to such Demand Registration shall be in the form of an Underwritten Offering, then the right of such Demanding Holder or Requesting Holder
(if any) to include its Registrable Securities in such Registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such
Underwritten Offering and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Offering to the extent provided
herein. All such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering under this subsection

Offering by the majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating the Demand Registration.

Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell and the Common Stock, if any, as to which a Registration has
been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by any other stockholders of the Company
who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in the Underwritten Offering
without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of the Underwritten
Offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”),
then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Offering, as follows: (i) first, the Registrable Securities of the Demanding

are specified in such written request, together with all or such portion of Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining
in such request as are specified in the written notification given by such Holder or Holders; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such Registration pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof if (i) a
Form S-3 is not available for such offering; or (ii) the Holders of Registrable Securities, together with the Holders of any
other equity securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such Registration, propose to sell the Registrable Securities and such
other equity securities (if any) at any aggregate price to the public of less than $10,000,000.

 

2.4 Restrictions
on Registration Rights. If (A) during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s good
faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a date one hundred and twenty (120) days after the effective date of,
a Company initiated Registration and provided that the Company has delivered written notice to the Holders prior to receipt of a Demand
Registration pursuant to subsection 2.1.1 and it continues to actively employ, in good faith, all reasonable efforts
to cause the applicable Registration Statement to become effective; (B) the Holders have requested an Underwritten Registration
and the Company and the Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite the offer; or (C) in the
good faith judgment of the Board such Registration would be seriously detrimental to the Company and the Board concludes as a result
that it is essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement at such time, then in each case the Company shall furnish to
such Holders a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board it would be seriously
detrimental to the Company for such Registration Statement to be filed in the near future and that it is therefore essential to defer
the filing of such Registration Statement. In such event, the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more
than thirty (30) days; provided, however, that the Company shall not defer its obligation in this manner
more than once in any 12-month period.

ARTICLE III

COMPANY PROCEDURES

 

3.1 General Procedures.
If at any time on or after the date the Company consummates a Business Combination the Company is required to effect the Registration
of Registrable Securities, the Company shall use its best efforts to effect such Registration to permit the sale of such Registrable
Securities in accordance with the intended plan of distribution thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall, as expeditiously as
possible:

 

3.1.1 prepare and file
with the Commission as soon as practicable a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its reasonable
best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective until all Registrable Securities covered by
such Registration Statement have been sold;

 

3.1.2 prepare and file
with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement, and such supplements to the Prospectus,
as may be requested by any Holder or any Underwriter of Registrable Securities or as may be required by the rules, regulations or instructions
applicable to the registration form used by the Company or by the Securities Act or rules and regulations thereunder to keep the
Registration Statement effective until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement are sold in accordance with
the intended plan of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus;

 

3.1.3 prior to filing a
Registration Statement or prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish without charge to the Underwriters, if any, and
each Holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration, and each such Holder’s legal counsel, copies of such Registration
Statement as proposed to be filed, each amendment and supplement to such Registration Statement (in each case including all exhibits
thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary
Prospectus), and such other documents as the Underwriters and each Holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration or
the legal counsel for any such Holders may request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such
Holders;

 

3.1.4 prior to any public
offering of Registrable Securities, use its best efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration
Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as any Holder of Registrable
Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution) may request and (ii) take such
action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such
other governmental authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other acts
and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement
to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify
or take any action to which it would be subject to general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then
otherwise so subject;

 

3.1.5 cause all such Registrable
Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are
then listed;

 

3.1.6 provide a transfer
agent or warrant agent, as applicable, and registrar for all such Registrable Securities no later than the effective date of such Registration
Statement;

 

    12

     

    

 

3.1.7 advise each seller
of such Registrable Securities, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any stop order
by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for
such purpose and promptly use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such
stop order should be issued;

 

3.1.8 at least five (5) days
prior to the filing of any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus
or any document that is to be incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement or Prospectus, furnish a copy thereof to each
seller of such Registrable Securities and its counsel, including, without limitation, providing copies promptly upon receipt of any comment
letters received with respect to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus; 

 

3.1.9 notify the Holders
at any time when a Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening
of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes a Misstatement,
and then to correct such Misstatement as set forth in Section 3.4 hereof;

 

3.1.10 permit a representative
of the Holders (such representative to be selected by a majority of the participating Holders), the Underwriters, if any, and any attorney
or accountant retained by such Holders or Underwriter to participate, at each such person’s own expense, in the preparation of
the Registration Statement, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested
by any such representative, Underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with the Registration; provided, however,
that such representatives or Underwriters enter into a confidentiality agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, prior to the release or disclosure of any such information; and provided further, the Company may not include the name
of any Holder or Underwriter or any information regarding any Holder or Underwriter in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, any
amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus, any document that is to be incorporated by reference into such
Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any response to any comment letter, without the prior written consent of such Holder or Underwriter
and providing each such Holder or Underwriter a reasonable amount of time to review and comment on such applicable document, which comments
the Company shall include unless contrary to applicable law;

 

3.1.11 obtain a “cold
comfort” letter from the Company’s independent registered public accountants in the event of an Underwritten Registration
which the participating Holders may rely on, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold
comfort” letters as the managing Underwriter may reasonably request, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the
participating Holders;

 

3.1.12 on the date the
Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration, obtain an opinion, dated such date, of counsel representing
the Company for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the Holders, the placement agent or sales agent, if any, and the Underwriters,
if any, covering such legal matters with respect to the Registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the Holders,
placement agent, sales agent, or Underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions and negative assurance
letters, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the participating Holders;

 

3.1.13 in the event of
any Underwritten Offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with
the managing Underwriter of such offering;

 

3.1.14 make available to
its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12) months
beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration Statement
which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any successor
rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission);

 

    13

     

    

 

3.1.15 if the Registration
involves the Registration of Registrable Securities involving gross proceeds in excess of $50,000,000, use its reasonable efforts to
make available senior executives of the Company to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably
requested by the Underwriter in any Underwritten Offering; and

 

3.1.16 otherwise, in good
faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Holders, in connection with such
Registration.

 

3.2 Registration
Expenses. The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the
Holders shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’ commissions
and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration Expenses,”
all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders.

 

3.3 Requirements
for Participation in Underwritten Offerings. No person may participate in any Underwritten Offering for equity securities of the
Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s
securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company and (ii) completes and executes all customary
questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be
reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. 

 

3.4 Suspension of
Sales; Adverse Disclosure. Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a
Misstatement, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until it has received copies of a
supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and
file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time of such notice), or until it is advised in writing by the Company
that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect
of any Registration at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure or would require the inclusion in such Registration
Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, the Company may,
upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such
Registration Statement for the shortest period of time, but in no event more than thirty (30) days, determined in good faith by
the Company to be necessary for such purpose. In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Holders
agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration
in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders of the expiration
of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 3.4. and, upon the expiration of any such period,
the Holders shall be entitled to resume the use of any such Prospectus in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities.

 

3.5 Reporting Obligations.
As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange
Act, covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required
to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings. The Company further covenants that it shall
take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to
sell shares of the Common Stock held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions
provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission),
including providing any legal opinions. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification
of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

ARTICLE IV

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

 

4.1 Indemnification.

 

4.1.1 The Company agrees
to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers and directors and each person who controls
such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’
fees) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary
Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information
furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein. The Company shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers
and directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided
in the foregoing with respect to the indemnification of the Holder.

 

4.1.2 In connection with
any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish to the Company in
writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement
or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and agents and each person
who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including
without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration
Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or
omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein;  The Holders
of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each person who controls such Underwriters
(within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company. For
the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to indemnify under this Section 4.01(b) shall be several, not joint and several, among the Holders
of Registrable Securities, and the total indemnification liability of a Holder under this Section 4.01(b) shall be in proportion to and
limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.

 

4.1.3 Any person entitled
to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks
indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder
to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s
reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit
such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense
is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its
consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume
the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (plus local counsel) for all parties
indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict
of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying
party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot
be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such
settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified
party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

 

    15

     

    

 

4.1.4 The indemnification
provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified
party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities.

 

4.1.5 If the indemnification
provided under Section 4.1 hereof from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an
indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party,
in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of
such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying
party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party
and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information
supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however,
that the liability of any Holder under this subsection 4.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received
by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other
liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in subsections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 above,
any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The
parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 were
determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred
to in this subsection 4.1.5. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 from any person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

    16

     

    

 

5.2.2 Prior to the expiration
of the Founder Shares Lock-up Period, New Holder Lock-up Period or the Private Placement Lock-up Period, as the case may be, no Holder
may assign or delegate such Holder’s rights, duties or obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, except in connection
with a transfer of Registrable Securities by such Holder to a Permitted Transferee but only if such Permitted Transferee agrees to become
bound by the transfer restrictions set forth in this Agreement, the Insider Letter, the Anchor Investor Subscription Agreements and other
applicable agreements (but only to the extent such Holder is a party thereto). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement
shall restrict the rights of the New Holders to take any actions in respect of any shares of Common Stock issuable in exchange for the
commons stock of Legacy Evolv issued in connection with the conversion of the 2021 Notes.

 

5.2.3 This Agreement and
the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties and its successors and the permitted
assigns of the Holders, which shall include Permitted Transferees.

 

5.2.4 This Agreement shall
not confer any rights or benefits on any persons that are not parties hereto, other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement and Section 5.2 hereof.

 

5.2.5 No assignment by
any party hereto of such party’s rights, duties and obligations hereunder shall be binding upon or obligate the Company unless
and until the Company shall have received (i) written notice of such assignment as provided in Section 5.1 hereof
and (ii) the written agreement of the assignee, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to be bound by the terms and provisions
of this Agreement (which may be accomplished by an addendum or certificate of joinder to this Agreement). Any transfer or assignment
made other than as provided in this Section 5.2 shall be null and void.

 

5.3 Counterparts;
Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original
and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  The words “execution,” signed,”
 “signature,” and words of like import in this Agreement or in any other certificate, agreement or document related to this
Agreement shall include images of manually executed signatures transmitted by facsimile or other electronic format (including, without
limitation, “pdf”, “tif” or “jpg”) and other electronic signatures (including, without limitation,
DocuSign and AdobeSign).  The use of electronic signatures and electronic records (including, without limitation, any contract or
other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, validity
and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based record-keeping system to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures
and Records Act and any other applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions
Act or the Uniform Commercial Code.

 

5.4 Governing Law;

THAT (I) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AS APPLIED TO AGREEMENTS AMONG
NEW YORK RESIDENTS ENTERED INTO AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS OF SUCH
JURISDICTION AND (II) THE VENUE FOR ANY ACTION TAKEN WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT IN NEW YORK
COUNTY IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 

 

    17

     

    

 

5.5 Amendments and
Modifications. Upon the written consent of the Company and the Holders of at least a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities
at the time in question, compliance with any of the provisions, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement may be waived, or
any of such provisions, covenants or conditions may be amended or modified; provided, however, that notwithstanding
the foregoing, any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects one Holder, solely in its capacity as a holder of the shares
of capital stock of the Company, in a manner that is materially different from the other Holders (in such capacity) shall require the
consent of the Holder so affected. No course of dealing between any Holder or the Company and any other party hereto or any failure or
delay on the part of a Holder or the Company in exercising any rights or remedies under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any
rights or remedies of any Holder or the Company. No single or partial exercise of any rights or remedies under this Agreement by a party
shall operate as a waiver or preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder by such party.

 

5.6 Other Registration
Rights. Other than registration rights granted under the Subscription Agreements (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or the registration
rights of certain New Holders in respect of certain Company Convertible Notes (as defined in the Merger Agreement) granted under the
Noteholders’ Consent, the Company represents and warrants that no person, other than a Holder of Registrable Securities, has any
right to require the Company to register any securities of the Company for sale or to include such securities of the Company in any Registration
filed by the Company for the sale of securities for its own account or for the account of any other person. Further, other than registration
rights granted under the Subscription Agreements (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or the registration rights of certain New Holders
in respect of certain Company Convertible Notes (as defined in the Merger Agreement) granted under the Noteholders’ Consent, the
Company represents and warrants that this Agreement supersedes any other registration rights agreement or agreement with similar terms
and conditions and in the event of a conflict between any such agreement or agreements and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement
shall prevail.

 

5.7 Term. This
Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the tenth anniversary of the date of this Agreement or (ii) the date as of
which (A) all of the Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to a Registration Statement (but in no event prior to the applicable
period referred to in Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act and Rule 174 thereunder (or any successor rule promulgated
thereafter by the Commission)) or (B) the Holders of all Registrable Securities are permitted to sell the Registrable Securities
under Rule 144 (or any similar provision) under the Securities Act without limitation on the amount of securities sold or the manner
of sale and without compliance with the current public reporting requirements set forth under Rule 144(i)(2). The provisions of Section 3.5 and
Article IV shall survive any termination.

Exhibit 10.1
(Cash-Based Agreement)

FIRSTENERGY CORP.
2020 Incentive Compensation Plan
2021-2023 Performance-Adjusted Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement

THIS 2021-2023 PERFORMANCE-ADJUSTED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), effective as of [DATE] (the “Grant Date”), is entered into by and between the Company and [NAME] (the “Grantee”). 
1.Definitions.  Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, capitalized terms shall have the meanings attributed to them under the Plan.  For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall be defined as follows:

    (a)    “Retirement” shall mean the Grantee’s Separation from Service (except due to death) on or after attaining age fifty-five (55) and after providing at least ten (10) years of service to the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate and any predecessor thereof; and

    (b)    “Separation from Service” shall mean, with respect to the Grantee, the “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A of the Grantee with the Company and any Subsidiaries, for any reason, including without limitation quit, discharge, leave of absence (including military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence such as temporary employment by the government if the period of such leave exceeds the greater of six months, or the period for which the Grantee’s right to reemployment is provided either by statute or by contract) or permanent decrease in service to a level that is no more than twenty percent (20%) of its prior level. For this purpose, whether a “Separation from Service” has occurred is determined based on whether it is reasonably anticipated that no further services will be performed by the Grantee after a certain date or that the level of bona fide services the Grantee will perform after such date (whether as an employee or as an independent contractor) would permanently decrease to no more than twenty percent (20%) of the average level of bona fide services performed (whether as an employee or an independent contractor) over the immediately preceding 36-month period (or the full period of services if the Grantee has been providing services for less than 36 months).
    
2.Grant of Restricted Stock Units.   As of the Grant Date, the Company has granted to the Grantee [NUMBER] (the “Target Number”) of Restricted Stock Units (the “Restricted Stock Units” or “RSUs”), a percentage of which Target Number will vest and become payable in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  The Target Number shall be adjusted with respect to Dividend Equivalents as provided in Section 8 below.  Each RSU that becomes vested and payable hereunder represents the right of the Grantee to receive the cash value of one Share subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  The RSUs are granted in accordance with, and subject to, all the terms, conditions and restrictions of the Plan, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.  The Grantee irrevocably agrees to, and accepts, the terms, conditions and restrictions of the Plan and this Agreement on the Grantee’s own behalf and on behalf of any heirs, successors and assigns. 

    

3.Restrictions on RSUs. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Grantee cannot sell, transfer, assign, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the RSUs or pledge any RSU as collateral for a loan, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.  In no event may any RSU or this Award be transferred for value.  In addition, the RSUs, and any payments made with respect to the RSUs, will be subject to such other restrictions as the Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including, without limitation, the Company’s Executive Compensation Recoupment Policy, as may be amended from time to time, to the extent applicable. 

4.Vesting and Settlement of RSUs.  

(a)Vesting.  Except as otherwise provided in Sections 6 and 7 below, if and to the extent the performance goals set forth on Exhibit A attached to this Agreement (the “Performance Goals”) are achieved during the performance period set forth on Exhibit A (the “Performance Period”), a percentage of the Target Number of RSUs will vest on March 1, 2024 (the “Vesting Date”), as long as the Grantee remains continuously employed by the Company or a Subsidiary until such Vesting Date.  The number of RSUs that shall vest will range from 0% to 200% of the Target Number, as determined by the extent to which the Performance Goals are achieved. The Grantee will have no rights to any payment with respect to the RSUs until the RSUs have vested (each RSU that vests pursuant to this Section 4 or Sections 6 and 7 below, a “Vested RSU”). Prior to settlement, each RSU (whether or not a Vested RSU) represents an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company. 

(b)Settlement.  Except as otherwise provided in Sections 6, 7 and 10 below, the Company shall settle each Vested RSU by making a cash payment equal to the Fair Market Value of one Share per Vested RSU to the Grantee as soon as administratively practicable (and no later than 60 days) after the Vesting Date.  With respect to any Vested RSU, the Fair Market Value of one Share shall be determined as of the Vesting Date, except as provided in Section 6.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision in Sections 6 or 7 to the contrary, if the Grantee elects to defer the settlement of the RSUs pursuant to the Company’s Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (or any other non-qualified deferred compensation plan providing for the ability to defer settlement of the RSUs), then the time, form and medium of payment with respect to any deferred RSUs shall be made pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (or similar non-qualified deferred compensation plan).

5.Forfeiture.   Except as otherwise provided in Sections 6 and 7, the Grantee will forfeit his or her interest in the RSUs to the extent the Performance Goals are not achieved during the Performance Period or if the Grantee terminates his or her employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Vesting Date.

6.Certain Events.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary and in each case subject to Section 6(g) below:

    2

(a)Death.   If, at least one month after the Grant Date but prior to the Vesting Date, the Grantee dies, a prorated number of RSUs shall become Vested RSUs.  For purposes of this Section 6(a), the number of RSUs that shall become Vested RSUs due to the Grantee’s death shall be equal to (i) the Target Number of RSUs multiplied by (ii) a fraction, where the numerator is the number of full calendar months the Grantee remained employed after the Grant Date and the denominator is 36.  The Company shall settle any RSUs that become Vested RSUs under this Section 6(a) by paying the Grantee’s estate a cash amount equal to the Fair Market Value of one Share for each Vested RSU as soon as administratively practicable after the date of the Grantee’s death, but in any event, by March 15th of the year following the year in which the Grantee’s death occurred. For purposes of this Section 6(a), the Fair Market Value shall be determined as of the date of the Grantee’s death.

(b)Disability.  If, at least one month after the Grant Date but prior to the Vesting Date, the Grantee’s employment is terminated due to the Grantee’s Disability, then, after the end of the Performance Period, a Prorated Number of RSUs shall become Vested RSUs (as determined in Section 6(f) below).  The Company shall settle any RSUs that become Vested RSUs under this Section 6(b) by paying the Grantee a cash amount equal to the Fair Market Value of one Share for each Vested RSU as soon as administratively practicable after the Vesting Date, but in any event within the short-term deferral period specified in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(4).

(c)Termination without Cause.  If, at least one month after the Grant Date but prior to the Vesting Date, the Grantee’s employment is terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary without Cause, then, after the end of the Performance Period, a Prorated Number of RSUs shall become Vested RSUs (as determined in Section 6(f) below).  The Company shall settle any RSUs that become Vested RSUs under this Section 6(c) by paying the Grantee a cash amount equal to the Fair Market Value of one Share for each Vested RSU as soon as administratively practicable after the Vesting Date, but in any event within the short-term deferral period specified in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(4).  

(d)Retirement.  If, at least one month after the Grant Date but prior to the Vesting Date, the Grantee’s employment is terminated due to the Grantee’s Retirement, then, after the end of the Performance Period, a Prorated Number of RSUs shall become Vested RSUs (as determined in Section 6(f) below).  The Company shall settle any RSUs that become Vested RSUs under this Section 6(d) by paying the Grantee a cash amount equal to the Fair Market Value of one Share for each Vested RSU as soon as administratively practicable after the Vesting Date, but in any event within the short-term deferral period specified in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(4). 

(e)Change in Position.  If, at least one month after the Grant Date but prior to the Vesting Date, the Grantee is transferred to a position with the Company or a Subsidiary that is not an executive position eligible for such an award, then, after the end of the Performance Period, a Prorated Number of RSUs shall become Vested 
    3

RSUs (as determined in Section 6(f) below).  The Company shall settle any RSUs that become Vested RSUs under this Section 6(e) by paying the Grantee a cash amount equal to the Fair Market Value of one Share for each Vested RSU as soon as administratively practicable after the Vesting Date, but in any event within the short-term deferral period specified in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(4). 

(f)Prorated Vesting.  The Prorated Number of RSUs described in Section 6(b), (c), (d) or (e) above (the “Prorated Number”) shall be determined as follows:

The Prorated Number = X multiplied by (Y/Z), where

X = the number of RSUs that would have become Vested RSUs based on actual performance against the Performance Goals if the Grantee had remained employed (and in an eligible executive position) until the Vesting Date;

Y = the number of full calendar months the Grantee remained employed (and in an eligible executive position) after the Grant Date; and

Z = 36.

(g)Release Requirement.  Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, except as otherwise determined by the Company, in order for the Grantee to receive payment pursuant to the settlement of Vested RSUs under Section 6(a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) above, the Grantee (or the representative of his or her estate) must execute and deliver to the Company a general release and waiver of claims against the Company, its Subsidiaries and their directors, officers, employees, shareholders and other affiliates in a form that is satisfactory to the Company (the “Release”).  The Release must become effective and irrevocable under applicable law no later than 60 days following the date of the Grantee’s death, termination of employment or transfer of position, as applicable. 
7.Change in Control.  If a Change in Control occurs, the RSUs shall generally become subject to the terms and conditions of Article 16 of the Plan; provided that if the RSUs subject to this Agreement are not replaced with a Replacement Award, then a prorated number of the RSUs (as determined by the formula in the following sentence) shall become Vested RSUs as of the date of the Change in Control and shall be settled no later than 60 days after the Change in Control in the manner set forth in Article 16 of the Plan.  For purposes of this Section 7, the prorated number of RSUs that may become Vested RSUs upon a Change in Control shall be equal to the Target Number of RSUs granted hereunder times a fraction, in which the numerator is the number of full months completed from the Grant Date to the date of the consummation of the Change in Control and the denominator is 36.  
8.Dividend Equivalents.  Until the date on which the RSUs are settled for cash, and pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Grantee will be credited (in the 
    4

manner described in the following sentences) on the books and records of the Company with an amount per each RSU equal to the amount per share of any cash dividends declared by the Board of Directors of the Company with a record date on or after the Grant Date on the outstanding Shares of the Company (such amount, a “Dividend Equivalent”).  Such Dividend Equivalents will be credited in the form of an additional number of RSUs and the Target Number of RSUs shall be adjusted by each additional RSU credited to the Grantee pursuant to the Dividend Equivalents. The additional number of RSUs will be equal to the aggregate amount of Dividend Equivalents credited under this Agreement on the respective dividend payment date divided by the average of the high and low prices per Share on the respective dividend payment date. The RSUs attributable to the Dividend Equivalents will be either settled or forfeited, as appropriate, under the same terms and conditions that apply to the other RSUs under this Award Agreement, including the achievement of the Performance Goals and any action taken by the Committee.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Grantee defers settlement of any portion of the RSUs pursuant to the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, then, during the deferral period, the Grantee’s stock account under the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan shall continue to be credited with Dividend Equivalents pursuant to this Section 8 until such deferred RSUs are settled for Shares or cash, as applicable, under the terms of the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan.
9.Continuous Employment. So long as the Grantee continues to be an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, he or she shall not be considered to have experienced a termination of employment because of: (a) any temporary leave of absence approved in writing by the Company or such Subsidiary; or (b) any change of duties or position (including transfer from one Subsidiary to another); provided, however, that, in the case of any change of duties or position that results in the Grantee no longer being an executive of the Company or a Subsidiary, the terms of Section 6(e) shall apply. 
10.Withholding.  Upon settlement of the RSUs, the Company shall withhold an amount sufficient to satisfy all federal, state, and local taxes to be withheld in connection with the settlement of RSUs under this Agreement.

12.Recoupment.  If the Grantee is or has been deemed to be, or becomes, an “insider” for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, this Agreement will be administered in compliance with Section 10D of the Exchange Act, any applicable rules or regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any national securities exchange or national securities association on which the Shares may be traded, and subject to the Company’s Executive Compensation Recoupment Policy, as amended from time to time, or any other Company policy adopted pursuant to such law, rules, or regulations and this Agreement may be amended to further such purpose without the consent of the Grantee.
13.Termination of Agreement.   This Agreement will terminate on the earliest of: (a) the date of the Grantee’s termination of employment with the Company, except if such termination of employment is due to death, Disability, Retirement, or a termination by the Company without 
    5

Cause; (b) the date the RSUs are settled pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; or (c) if no RSUs have become Vested RSUs as of the Vesting Date, the Vesting Date. Any terms or conditions of this Agreement that the Company determines are reasonably necessary to effectuate its purposes shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(c)Integration.  This Agreement, together with the Plan, constitutes the entire agreement between the Grantee and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof. Any waiver of any term, condition or breach thereof will not be a waiver of any other term or condition or of the same term or condition for the future, or of any subsequent breach.  To the extent a conflict exists between the terms of this Agreement and the provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern, except with respect to the Committee’s authority to adjust downward the number of RSUs that vest under this Agreement, as provided under Section 14(h) below.  
(d)Notice.  Any notice relating to this grant must be in writing, which may include an electronic writing. 
(e)No Employment Right Created.  Nothing in this Agreement will be construed to confer upon the Grantee the right to continue in the employment or service of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or to be employed or serve in any particular position therewith, or affect any right which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may have to terminate the Grantee’s employment or service with or without cause. 
(f)Severability.  In the event of the invalidity of any part or provision of this Agreement, such invalidity will not affect the enforceability of any other part or provision of this Agreement. 
(g)Section Headings.  The section headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not intended to define, extend or limit the contents of the sections. 
(h)Amendment.  The terms and conditions of this Agreement may be modified by the Committee:
(i)in any case permitted by the terms of the Plan or this Agreement;
(ii)except with respect to an adjustment made pursuant to the last paragraph of this Section 14(h), with the written consent of the Grantee; or
    6

(iii) without the consent of the Grantee if the amendment is either not materially adverse to the interests of the Grantee or is necessary or appropriate in the view of the Committee to conform with, or to take into account, applicable law, including either exemption from or compliance with any applicable tax law.
Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, the Committee shall retain the discretion to adjust the number of RSUs that vest under this Agreement without the Grantee’s consent, notwithstanding the Company’s actual performance against the Performance Goals, either on a formula or discretionary basis or a combination of the two, as the Committee determines in its sole discretion. 
(i)Plan Administration.  The Plan is administered by the Committee, which has full and exclusive discretionary power to interpret, implement, construe and adopt rules, forms and guidelines for administering the Plan and this Agreement. All actions, interpretations and determinations made by the Committee, the Board of Directors, or any of their delegates as to the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan shall be final, conclusive, and binding on all persons and the Grantee agrees to be bound by such actions, interpretations and determinations.
(j)Governing Law.  Except as may otherwise be provided in the Plan, this Agreement will be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Ohio, without giving effect to its principles of conflict of laws.  By accepting this Award, the Grantee agrees to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio or the Summit County (Ohio) Court of Common Pleas to adjudicate any and all claims brought with respect to this Agreement.
(k)Internal Revenue Code Section 409A.  Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, the Award of RSUs granted hereunder is intended to meet any applicable requirements for compliance under, or exemption from, Code Section 409A and this Agreement shall be construed and administered accordingly.  However, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company makes no representations or warranties as to the tax effects of payments made to the Grantee (or the Grantee’s estate) pursuant to this Agreement, and any and all tax consequences incident to such shall solely be the responsibility of the Grantee (or the Grantee’s estate).
(l)Data Privacy. 
    In order to implement, administer and manage the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, the Company and its affiliates may hold certain personal information about the Grantee, including, but not limited to, the Grantee’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company or any affiliate, details of all Awards or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (collectively, the “Personal Data”).

The Grantee understands that Personal Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and to comply with Securities and Exchange Commission and/or NYSE reporting obligations, any other applicable law or regulation and any applicable document retention policies of the Company. The Grantee understands that he or she may, at any time, view Personal Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Personal Data, require any necessary amendments to Personal Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, without cost, by contacting in writing the Executive Compensation group of Human Resources. The Grantee understands that refusal or withdrawal of consent may affect the Grantee’s ability to participate in the Plan or to realize benefits from the RSUs. For more information on the consequences of the Grantee’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Grantee understands that he or she may contact the Executive Compensation group of Human Resources.
