of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the Parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. Escrow
Agreement Amendment. Effective as of the date hereof, Section 3.2 of the Escrow Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and
replaced with the following:

“3.2
Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Escrow Agent shall hold the shares remaining after any cancellation required pursuant to Section
3.1 above (such remaining shares to be referred to herein as the “Escrow Shares”). Of such remaining shares,
5,062,500 shares of Common Stock held by Sponsor shall be referred to herein as the “Sponsor Upfront Escrow
Shares” and held pursuant to Section 3.2(a), all of the shares of Common Stock held by Founders other than Sponsor
shall be referred to as “Founder Upfront Escrow Shares” and held pursuant to Section 3.2(a) and 1,687,500
shares of Common Stock held by Sponsor shall be referred to herein as the “Sponsor Earn-Out Escrow Shares” and
held pursuant to Section 3.2(b).

    

     

    

 

(a) Release
of Sponsor Upfront Escrow Shares and Founder Upfront Escrow Shares.  The Sponsor Upfront Escrow Shares and the Founder Upfront
Escrow Shares shall be held until (i) with respect to 3,375,000 Sponsor Upfront Escrow Shares and 45,000 Founder Upfront Escrow
Shares, the earlier of (A) one year following the date of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement,
dated as of February 1, 2021 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, TSCN Merger Sub Inc.
and Microvast, Inc. (the “Anniversary Release Date”) and (B) the date on which the last sale price of the Common
Stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for
any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement, and (ii) with respect to the remaining Sponsor Upfront Escrow Shares and Founder Upfront Escrow Shares, the Anniversary
Release Date (such period of time during which the Founder Upfront Escrow Shares are held in escrow, the “Founder Upfront
Escrow Period”). Upon expiration of the Founder Upfront Escrow Period, the Escrow Agent shall disburse and release to the
Founders all Sponsor Upfront Escrow Shares and all Founder Upfront Escrow Shares, as applicable (and any applicable stock power),
upon receipt of a written notice executed by Tuscan Holdings Acquisition LLC (“Sponsor”), in form reasonably
acceptable to the Escrow Agent, certifying the expiration of the Founder Upfront Escrow Period and the number of Sponsor Upfront
Escrow Shares and Founder Upfront Escrow Shares to be disbursed and released to each Founder. The Escrow Agent shall have no further
duties under this Section 3.2(a) with respect to the Founder Upfront Escrow Shares after the disbursement of the Sponsor
Escrow Shares and Founder Upfront Escrow Shares to the Founders in accordance with this Section 3.2(a).

(b) Release
of Sponsor Earn-Out Escrow Shares. The Escrow Agent shall hold, disburse and release the Sponsor Earn-Out Escrow Shares as
follows:

(i)
The Escrow Agent shall hold the 50% of the Sponsor Earn-Out Escrow Shares until the later of (A) the Anniversary Release Date and
(B) the date on which the last sale price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits,
stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period following the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “First Earn-Out Target”). The Escrow
Agent shall hold the other 50% of the Sponsor Earn-Out Escrow Shares until the later of (A) the Anniversary Release Date and (B) the
date on which the last sale price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $15.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock
dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period following the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Second Earn-Out Target”). Sponsor
shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a written notice executed by Sponsor, in form reasonably acceptable to the Escrow Agent,
certifying the achievement of the First Earn-Out Target (the “First Earn-Out Target Release Notice”) and/or the
achievement of the Second Earn-Out Target (the “Second Earn-Out Target Release Notice”). The Escrow Agent shall
disburse and release to the Founders (A) 50% of the Sponsor Earn-Out Escrow Shares (and any applicable stock power), upon receipt
the First Earn-Out Target Release Notice and (B) 50% of the Sponsor Earn-Out Escrow Shares (and any applicable stock power), upon
receipt of the Second Earn-Out Target Release Notice; provided that if any of the First Earn-Out Target Release Notice or the
Second Earn-Out Target Release Notice shall be delivered prior to the Anniversary Release Date, then the Escrow Agent shall not
release any of the Sponsor Earn-Out Shares subject to such First Earn-Out Target Release Notice or the Second Earn-Out Target
Release Notice, as the case may be, until the Anniversary Release Date. In the event that neither the First Earn-Out Target Release
Notice nor the Second Earn-Out Target Release Notice is delivered on or prior to the fifth anniversary of the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, then the Escrow Agent shall automatically disburse and release all the Sponsor
Earn-Out Escrow Shares (and any applicable stock power) to the Company for cancellation for no consideration. In the event that the
Second Earn-Out Target Release Notice is not delivered (and the First Earn-Out Target Release Notice has been delivered) on or prior
to the fifth anniversary of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, then the Escrow Agent shall
automatically disburse and release 50% of the Sponsor Earn-Out Escrow Shares (and any applicable stock power) to the Company for
cancellation for no consideration. The Escrow Agent shall have no further duties under this Section 3.2(b)(i) with respect to
the Sponsor Earn-Out Escrow Shares after the disbursement of the Sponsor Earn-Out Escrow Shares to the Founders or the Company, as
the case may be, in accordance with this Section 3.2(b)(i).

    2

     

    

 

(ii)
The Sponsor Earn-Out Escrow Shares and the Earn-Out Target shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock
splits, reverse splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, reclassifications and other similar events with respect to the Common
Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the time any such Sponsor Earn-Out Escrow Shares are released to the
Founders or returned to the Company, as the case may be.

(iii)
Notwithstanding Section 3.2(b)(i), if prior to or as of the fifth anniversary of the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by the Merger Agreement, the Company undergoes a Change of Control, with the consideration or implied consideration per share of Common
Stock being (A) less than $12.00, then the Escrow Agent shall automatically disburse and release all Sponsor Earn-Out Escrow Shares not
previously released for cancellation for no consideration, (B) $12.00 or more but less than $15.00, 50% of the Sponsor Earn-Out Escrow
Shares shall be released to the Founders, and the Escrow Agent shall automatically disburse and release the other 50% of the Sponsor
Earn-Out Escrow Shares to the Company for cancellation for no consideration, and (C) $15.00 or more, all of the Sponsor Earn-Out Escrow
Shares shall be released to the Founders. Sponsor shall provide written notice (the “Sponsor Notice”) to the Escrow
Agent, with a copy to the Company, of any Change of Control that triggers the release of the Sponsor Earn-Out Escrow Shares in accordance
with this Section 3.2(b)(iii). The Escrow Agent shall disburse and release to the Founders and/or the Company the Sponsor Earn-Out
Escrow Shares (and any applicable stock power) in accordance with this Section 3.2(b)(iii) immediately prior to the consummation
of such Change of Control unless the Company shall have provided written notice to the Escrow Agent within five business days following
receipt of the Sponsor Notice objecting to such release (in which case the Escrow Agent shall hold such Sponsor Earn-Out Escrow Shares
until such time as it shall have received a joint written notice from Sponsor and the Company as to the manner in which to disburse such
Sponsor Earn-Out Escrow Shares). For purposes of this Agreement, “Change of Control” shall mean (i) the closing of
a merger, consolidation, liquidation or reorganization of the Company into or with another company or other legal person, after which
merger, consolidation, liquidation or reorganization the capital stock of the Company outstanding prior to consummation of the transaction
is not converted into or exchanged for or does not represent more than 50% of the aggregate voting power of the surviving or resulting
entity; (ii) the direct or indirect acquisition by any person (as the term “person” is used in Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of more than 50% of the voting capital stock of the Company, in a single or series
of related transactions; or (iii) the sale, exchange, or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (other than
a sale, exchange, or transfer to one or more entities where the stockholders of the Company immediately before such sale, exchange or
transfer retain, directly or indirectly, at least a majority of the beneficial interest in the voting stock of the entities to which
the assets were transferred).”

“herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder” or words of similar import shall hereafter be deemed to refer to

THE CHEFS’ WAREHOUSE, INC.
RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
(Directors)
THIS RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the [     ] day of [          ] 20[  ] (the “Grant Date”), between The Chefs’ Warehouse, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its Subsidiaries, the “Company”), and [           ] (the “Grantee”).  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in The Chefs’ Warehouse, Inc. 2019 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).
WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Plan, which permits the issuance of Restricted Share Unit (“RSU”) awards covering shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Plan, the Committee responsible for administering the Plan has granted an award of RSUs to the Grantee as provided herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
1.Grant of Restricted Share Units.
(a)The Company hereby grants to the Grantee an award (the “Award”) of [   ] RSUs on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and as otherwise provided in the Plan. Each RSU represents the right to a future payment of one Share.
(b)The Grantee’s rights with respect to the Award shall remain forfeitable at all times prior to the date on which the restrictions shall lapse in accordance with Section 2 hereof.
2.Vesting.  
(a)Except as provided herein and subject to such other exceptions as may be determined by the Committee in its discretion, the RSUs shall vest on the earliest to occur of the following:  (i) the first anniversary of the Grant Date, (ii) the date of the next annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders at which any directors are elected, (iii) a Change in Control, or (iv) the termination of the Grantee’s service as a director of the Company resulting from the Grantee’s death or Disability (the “Vesting Date”).  The “Restricted Period” is the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the Vesting Date. 
(b)Except as otherwise determined by the Committee at or after the grant of the Award hereunder, if, prior to the end of the Restricted Period, the Grantee ceases to be a director of the Company (or otherwise terminates service with the Company) for any reason other than death or Disability, all RSUs not then vested shall be immediately forfeited without 
    1

any consideration.  Upon forfeiture, all of the Grantee’s rights with respect to the RSUs shall immediately cease and terminate without any further obligations on the part of the Company.
3.Settlement of Restricted Share Units.  Subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, Grantee shall be entitled to receive (and the Company shall deliver to Grantee) the Shares in settlement of the RSUs, which become vested pursuant to Section 2 hereof, as soon as administratively practicable and in any event no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such vesting occurs.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Grantee makes a valid deferral election in accordance with Section 4 below, Shares shall instead be delivered in accordance with the provisions of the applicable deferral election and Section 4. 
4.Deferral Election. The Grantee may elect to defer delivery of the Shares that are otherwise due to the Grantee at or around the Vesting Date by completing a prescribed deferral election form, which shall be distributed separately, and returning it to the Company according to the instructions on the deferral election form.  Any Shares deferred in accordance with the deferral election form shall be subject to the terms and conditions of such deferral election form and The Chefs’ Warehouse, Inc. Non-Employee Director Deferral Plan.
5.Restrictions.  The Grantee shall have no rights or privileges of a stockholder as to the RSUs until the RSUs vest and settle in accordance with Section 3 above, except for the right to receive dividend equivalents in accordance with Section 6 hereof.  Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Grantee may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise encumber or dispose of the RSUs before the Vesting Date. 
6.Dividends and Dividend Equivalents.  To the extent dividends or dividend equivalents are paid on Shares while the RSUs remain outstanding and prior to the Settlement Date, and if the RSUs are deferred pursuant to Section 4 above, during the deferral period, the Grantee shall be entitled to receive a cash payment in an amount equivalent to the dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to the number of Shares covered by the RSUs; provided, however, that no dividends or dividend equivalents shall be payable with respect to any RSUs forfeited on or prior to the applicable dividend record date and no payment in respect of unvested RSUs will be made prior to the Vesting Date.  In the event the Grantee makes a valid deferral election in accordance with Section 4 above, the cash payment shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of the applicable deferral election and Section 4 with respect to any deferral period.
7.Tax Requirements.  The Grantee shall be liable for any and all taxes arising out of this Agreement, including in connection with the vesting and settlement of the RSUs. 
8.No Right to Continued Service.  This Agreement shall not be construed as giving Grantee the right to continue to serve as a director of the Company, and the Company 
    2

may at any time dismiss Grantee from service as a director, free from any liability or any claim under the Plan.
9.Adjustments.  The Committee may make equitable and proportionate adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, this Award in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (and shall make adjustments for the events described in Section 4.2 of the Plan) affecting the Company or the financial statements of the Company or of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles in accordance with the Plan whenever the Committee determines that such events affect the RSUs.  Any such adjustments shall be effected in a manner that precludes the material enlargement of rights and benefits under this Award.
10.Amendment to Award.  Subject to the restrictions contained in the Plan, the Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate the Award, prospectively or retroactively; provided that any such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination that would materially and adversely affect the rights of the Grantee or any holder or beneficiary of the Award shall not to that extent be effective without the consent of the Grantee, holder or beneficiary affected.
11.Plan Governs.  The Grantee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of (or electronic link to) the Plan and agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions thereof.  The terms of this Agreement are governed by the terms of the Plan, and in the case of any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern.
12.Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is, or becomes, or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Person or the Award, or would disqualify the Plan or Award under any laws deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person or Award, and the remainder of the Plan and Award shall remain in full force and effect.
13.Recoupment.  All Awards granted under the Plan and any payment made under the Plan shall be subject to recoupment in accordance with Section 14.6 of the Plan.
14.Section 409A. This Agreement is intended to be exempt from or compliant with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and shall at all times be interpreted in accordance with such intent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations, warranties, or guarantees regarding the tax treatment of this Agreement under 
    3

Section 409A of the Code or otherwise, and has advised the Grantee to obtain his or her own tax advisor regarding this Agreement.
15.Notices.  All notices required to be given under this Award shall be deemed to be received if delivered or mailed as provided for herein, to the parties at the following addresses, or to such other address as either party may provide in writing from time to time.

Ridgefield, CT 06877

16.Governing Law.  The validity, construction and effect of this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles.
17.Successors in Interest.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon any successor to the Company. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Grantee’s legal representatives.  All obligations imposed upon the Grantee and all rights granted to the Company under this Agreement shall be binding upon the Grantee’s heirs, executors, administrators and successors.
18.Resolution of Disputes.
