	BIRD GLOBAL, INC.	PARTICIPANT
	By:	_____________________________	
	Name:		Travis VanderZanden
	Title:		Date:	_____________________________

Exhibit A
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

Article I.
GENERAL
1.1Award of RSUs.  The Company has granted the RSUs to Participant effective as of the Grant Date set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Grant Date”).  Each RSU represents the right to receive one Share as set forth in this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (together with Exhibits B, C and D hereto, this “Agreement”).  Participant will have no right to the distribution of any Shares until the time (if ever) the applicable RSUs become Fully-Vested RSUs (as defined in Exhibit B). The Performance-Vesting RSUs subject to this Award (as defined below) constitutes a Management Award for purposes of Section 4.3(b) of the Plan.
1.2Incorporation of Terms of Plan.  The RSUs are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference.  In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan will control.
1.3Unsecured Promise.  The RSUs will at all times prior to settlement represent an unsecured Company obligation payable only from the Company’s general assets.
1.4Definitions.  Capitalized terms not specifically defined in this Agreement have the meanings specified in the Grant Notice or, if not defined in the Grant Notice, in the Plan.  
Article II.
VESTING; FORFEITURE AND SETTLEMENT
2.1Vesting; Forfeiture.  The RSUs will vest and be subject to forfeiture according to and as set forth on Exhibit B, except that any fraction of an RSU that would otherwise be vested will be accumulated and will vest only when a whole RSU has accumulated.  Any Performance-Vesting RSUs that remain outstanding and are not Earned Performance-Vesting RSUs (each such term as defined in Exhibit B) as of the close of business on the Expiration Date automatically will be forfeited and terminated without consideration therefore at the close of business on the Expiration Date. 
2.2Settlement. 
(a)The RSUs will be paid in Shares as soon as administratively practicable after the date on which the applicable RSU becomes a Fully-Vested RSU, as determined pursuant to Exhibit B, but in no event later than March 15 of the year following the year in which such vesting date occurs.  
(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may delay any payment under this Agreement that the Company reasonably determines would violate Applicable Law until the earliest date the Company reasonably determines the making of the payment will not cause such a violation (in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(7)(ii)); provided the Company reasonably believes the delay will not result in the imposition of excise taxes under Section 409A.
Article III.
TAXATION AND TAX WITHHOLDING
3.1Representation.  Participant represents to the Company that Participant has reviewed with Participant’s own tax advisors the tax consequences of this award of RSUs (the “Award”) and the transactions contemplated by the Grant Notice and this Agreement.  Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents.
3.2Tax Withholding.  

(a)The Company shall withhold, or cause to be withheld, Shares otherwise vesting or issuable under this Award in satisfaction of any applicable withholding tax obligations.  The number of Shares which may be so withheld or surrendered shall be limited to the number of Shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding no greater than the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the maximum individual statutory withholding rates in Participant’s applicable jurisdictions for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such taxable income.
(b)Participant acknowledges that Participant is ultimately liable and responsible for all taxes owed in connection with the RSUs, regardless of any action the Company or any Subsidiary takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the RSUs.  Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary makes any representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with the awarding, vesting or payment of the RSUs or the subsequent sale of Shares.  The Company and its Subsidiaries do not commit and are under no obligation to structure the RSUs to reduce or eliminate Participant’s tax liability.
Article IV.
OTHER PROVISIONS
4.1Adjustments.  Participant acknowledges that the RSUs and the Shares subject to the RSUs are subject to adjustment, modification and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement and the Plan.  For purposes of clarity, in connection with an Equity Restructuring the Price Per Share Goals shall be subject to Section 8.1 of the Plan. 
4.2Clawback.  Notwithstanding Section 10.13 of the Plan, the Award and the Shares issuable hereunder shall be subject to (i) any Company clawback or recoupment policy required in order to comply with Applicable Law, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) any Company clawback or recoupment policy applicable generally to the Company’s senior executives.  The Company and Participant acknowledge that this Section 4.2 is not intended to limit any clawback and/or disgorgement of the RSUs and/or the Shares issuable hereunder pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
4.3Restrictive Covenants.  In consideration of the grant of the Award, and further as a material inducement for the Company to enter into this Agreement with Participant and to grant Participant the Award, Participant hereby acknowledges and agrees (i) to be bound by the restrictive covenants set forth in Exhibit D and (ii) that Participant shall continue to be bound by that certain Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement by and between Participant and Bird Rides, Inc., dated as of September 18, 2019, as well as any other restrictive covenants to which Participant is bound pursuant to any written agreement with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (together, the “Restrictive Covenants”).  Upon Participant’s breach of any of the Restrictive Covenants, in addition to any other relief available to the Company under law or equity: (i) any RSUs underlying the Award that remain outstanding as of the date of such breach (if any) shall immediately and automatically be cancelled (without any further action by any party); and (ii) in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, Participant shall forfeit to the Company any Shares, cash or other property received or payable in connection with the vesting or settlement of the Award or any portion thereof during the three-year period immediately preceding such breach, and Participant shall be required to repay to the Company the amount of any proceeds from the sale or gain realized on the vesting of the Award.
4.4Notices.  Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to the Company must be in writing and addressed to the Company in care of the Company’s General Counsel at the Company’s principal office or the General Counsel’s then-current email address or facsimile number.  Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to Participant must be in writing and addressed to Participant (or, if Participant is then deceased, to the Designated Beneficiary) at Participant’s last known mailing address, email address or facsimile number in the Company’s personnel files.  By a notice given pursuant to this Section 4.4, either party may designate a different address for notices to be given to that party.  Any notice will be deemed duly given when actually received, when sent by email, when sent by certified mail (return receipt requested) and deposited with postage prepaid in a post office or branch post office 

regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service, when delivered by a nationally recognized express shipping company or upon receipt of a facsimile transmission confirmation.
4.5Titles.  Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.
4.6Conformity to Securities Laws.  Participant acknowledges that the Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary with all Applicable Laws and, to the extent Applicable Laws permit, will be deemed amended as necessary to conform to Applicable Laws.
4.7Successors and Assigns.  The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to a single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement will inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company.  Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Agreement or the Plan, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
4.8Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if Participant is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Plan, the Grant Notice, this Agreement and the RSUs will be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule.  To the extent Applicable Laws permit, this Agreement will be deemed amended as necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.
4.9Entire Agreement; Amendment.  The Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement (including any exhibit hereto) constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof.  To the extent permitted by the Plan, this Agreement may be wholly or partially amended or otherwise modified, suspended or terminated at any time or from time to time by the Administrator or the Board; provided, however, that except as may otherwise be provided by the Plan, no amendment, modification, suspension or termination of this Agreement shall materially and adversely affect the RSUs without the prior written consent of Participant. 
4.10Agreement Severable.  In the event that any provision of the Grant Notice or this Agreement is held illegal or invalid, the provision will be severable from, and the illegality or invalidity of the provision will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of the Grant Notice or this Agreement.
4.11Limitation on Participant’s Rights.  Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided.  This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Company as to amounts payable and may not be construed as creating a trust.  Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets.  Participant will have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the RSUs, and rights no greater than the right to receive cash or the Shares as a general unsecured creditor with respect to the RSUs, as and when settled pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
4.12Not a Contract of Employment.  Nothing in the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement confers upon Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any Subsidiary or interferes with or restricts in any way the rights of the Company and its Subsidiaries, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between the Company or a Subsidiary and Participant.
4.13Counterparts.  The Grant Notice may be executed in one or more counterparts, including by way of any electronic signature, subject to Applicable Law, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which together will constitute one instrument.

Exhibit B
TIME-VESTING RSUS; PERFORMANCE-VESTING RSUS
Capitalized terms not previously defined or specifically defined in this Exhibit B shall have the meanings specified in Exhibit C. 
Grant of RSUs; General Vesting Schedule
Grant of RSUs.  The RSUs subject to the Award are divided into two tranches:  (i) 5,872,500 of such RSUs constitute the “Time-Vesting RSUs” and (ii) 17,617,500 of such RSUs constitute the “Performance-Vesting RSUs”.  Each Time-Vesting RSU and each Performance-Vesting RSU shall become vested and nonforfeitable (in any case, a “Fully-Vested RSU”) upon the satisfaction of the applicable vesting conditions set forth below.
Time-Vesting RSUs.  Each Time-Vesting RSU shall vest and become a Fully-Vested RSU as to 1/16th of the Time-Vesting RSUs on each quarterly anniversary of June 1, 2021, such that all of the Time-Vesting RSUs shall be Fully-Vested RSUs as of June 1, 2025, subject to Participant’s continued Service through the applicable vesting date (and rounded down to the nearest whole Time-Vesting RSU until the final vesting date).
Performance-Vesting RSUs.  During the Performance Period, each Performance-Vesting RSU shall vest and become a Fully-Vested RSU upon the satisfaction of both (A) the applicable Price Per Share Goal and (B) the Service-Vesting Requirement (each such term as defined below), as follows: 
(i)Earned Performance-Vesting RSUs.  The Performance-Vesting RSUs shall become “Earned Performance-Vesting RSUs” with respect to 1/3rd of the Performance-Vesting RSUs upon the attainment of any of the three Price Per Share goals set forth in the following table (each, a “Price Per Share Goal”).
						
	Price Per Share Goal (1)	Number of 
Earned Performance-Vesting RSUs

	Price Per Share is greater than or equal to $12.50 for any 10 Trading Days (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), which may or may not be consecutive, within any 20 consecutive Trading Day period within the Performance Period	5,872,500
	Price Per Share is greater than or equal to $20.00 for any 10 Trading Days, which may or may not be consecutive, within any 20 consecutive Trading Day period within the Performance Period	5,872,500
	Price Per Share is greater than or equal to $30.00 for any 10 Trading Days, which may or may not be consecutive, within any 20 consecutive Trading Day period within the Performance Period	5,872,500

(1) Upon a Change of Control during the Performance Period, the Price Per Share shall be the CIC Price and the Price Per Share Goal shall be measured without regard to the Trading Day period described in the table above.
For the avoidance of doubt, (i) each Price Per Share Goal may be achieved only once during the Performance Period and (ii) more than one Price Per Share Goal may be achieved on a particular date.  For example, if the first Price Per Share Goal of $12.50 per Share is satisfied on January 21, 2022, the Price Per Share thereafter drops below such level and again reaches $12.50 per Share, then no additional Performance-Vesting RSUs shall become Earned Performance-Vesting RSUs with respect to the achievement of such Price Per Share Goal a second time.

(ii)Service-Vesting Requirement.  Each Performance-Vesting RSU shall service-vest and satisfy the “Service-Vesting Requirement” as to 1/16th of the Performance-Vesting RSUs on each quarterly anniversary of June 1, 2021, such that all of the Performance-Vesting RSUs shall have satisfied the Service-Vesting Requirement as of June 1, 2025, subject to Participant’s continued Service through the applicable service-vesting date (and rounded down to the nearest whole Performance-Vesting RSU until the final service-vesting date).
Change of Control  
If a Change of Control occurs during the Performance Period, and a Price Per Share Goal is first achieved based on the CIC Price, then any Performance-Vesting RSUs to which such Price Per Share Goal applies shall become Earned Performance-Vesting RSUs.  Any such Earned Performance-Vesting RSUs will be eligible to become Fully-Vested RSUs upon the satisfaction of the Service-Vesting Requirement set forth in this Exhibit B.  Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Price Per Share Goal was achieved prior to such Change of Control, no additional Performance-Vesting RSUs shall become Earned Performance-Vesting RSUs with respect to the achievement of such Price Per Share Goal in connection with such Change of Control.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Plan (including Section 8.3 of the Plan), if, in connection with the occurrence of a Change of Control, any Performance-Vesting RSUs have not or do not become Earned Performance-Vesting RSUs either prior to such event or following the application of the foregoing paragraph, then such Performance-Vesting RSUs automatically will be forfeited and terminated without consideration therefor as of immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control.
Termination of Service
Qualifying Termination (Non-Change of Control).  Subject to the Section “Qualifying Termination (Change of Control)” below, if Participant experiences a Qualifying Termination during the Performance Period, then: 
(i)     a number of Time-Vesting RSUs that would have become Fully-Vested RSUs over the 12-month period immediately following the date of such Qualifying Termination (had Participant remained in continued Service during such period), if any, shall become Fully-Vested RSUs, and any Time-Vesting RSUs that do not become Fully-Vested RSUs in accordance with the foregoing automatically will be forfeited and terminated without consideration therefor as of the date of such termination; 
(ii)     any Performance-Vesting RSUs that are Earned Performance-Vesting RSUs as of the date of such Qualifying Termination shall be deemed to have satisfied the applicable Service-Vesting Requirement and shall become Fully-Vested RSUs; and 
(iii)     any outstanding Performance-Vesting RSUs that are not Earned Performance-Vesting RSUs as of the date of such Qualifying Termination shall be deemed to have satisfied the applicable Service-Vesting Requirement and shall remain outstanding and eligible to become Fully-Vested RSUs during the Post-Termination Vesting Period upon the achievement of the applicable Price Per Share Goals.  To the extent any Performance-Vesting RSUs do not become Fully-Vested RSUs on or prior to the final day of the Post-Termination Vesting Period, such Performance-Vesting RSUs automatically will be forfeited and terminated without consideration therefor as of such date.
Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Price Per Share Goal was achieved prior to a Qualifying Termination, no additional Performance-Vesting RSUs shall become Earned Performance-Vesting RSUs with respect to the achievement of such Price Per Share Goal during the Post-Termination Vesting Period. 
Qualifying Termination (Change of Control).  Notwithstanding and without limiting the generality of anything herein or in the Plan to the contrary, if Participant experiences a Qualifying Termination on or following the consummation of a Change of Control, then: (i) any then-unvested Time-

Vesting RSUs shall become Fully-Vested RSUs; and (ii) any Earned Performance-Vesting RSUs as of the date of such Qualifying Termination shall become Fully-Vested RSUs. 
Termination Due to Death or Disability.  If Participant experiences a termination of Service due to his death or Disability, then: 
(i)     any then-unvested Time-Vesting RSUs shall become Fully-Vested RSUs; 
(ii)     any Performance-Vesting RSUs that are Earned Performance-Vesting RSUs as of the date of such termination shall be deemed to have satisfied the applicable Service-Vesting Requirement and shall become Fully-Vested RSUs; and 
(iii)     any outstanding Performance-Vesting RSUs that are not Earned Performance-Vesting RSUs as of the date of such termination of Service shall be deemed to have satisfied the applicable Service-Vesting Requirement and shall remain outstanding and eligible to become Fully-Vested RSUs during the Post-Termination Vesting Period upon the achievement of the applicable Price Per Share Goals.  To the extent any Performance-Vesting RSUs do not become Fully-Vested RSUs on or prior to the final day of the Post-Termination Vesting Period, such Performance-Vesting RSUs automatically will be forfeited and terminated without consideration therefor as of such date.
Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Price Per Share Goal was achieved prior to such termination of Service, no additional Performance-Vesting RSUs shall become Earned Performance-Vesting RSUs with respect to the achievement of such Price Per Share Goal during the Post-Termination Vesting Period. 
Release/Acknowledgement.  The treatment set forth above in connection with a Qualifying Termination or a termination of Service due to Participant’s death or Disability is subject to and conditioned upon Participant’s (or Participant’s estate’s, as applicable) timely execution, delivery and non-revocation of a general release of claims in the form prescribed by the Company (the “Release”).
Other Terminations.  Upon Participant’s termination of Service for any reason not specified in above, including a termination of Service by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Cause or a resignation by Participant other than for Good Reason, all RSUs underlying the Award that are not Fully-Vested RSUs as of the date of such termination of Service (including any Earned Performance-Vesting RSUs that have not then-satisfied the Service-Vesting Requirement) automatically will be forfeited and terminated without consideration therefor.
