This Restricted Stock Units Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of ______ __, 202__ (the “Grant Date”) by and between Flewber Global Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and ____________ (the “Recipient”).
1. Grant of Restricted Stock Units.
1.1 This Agreement is made pursuant to and is governed by the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Pursuant to the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Recipient on the Grant Date an Award consisting of, in the aggregate, _______ Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”). Each RSU represents the right to receive one (1) share of Common Stock, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan. Capitalized terms that are used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.
1.2 The RSUs shall be credited to a separate account maintained for the Recipient on the books and records of the Company (the “Account”). All amounts credited to the Account shall continue for all purposes to be part of the general assets of the Company.
2. Vesting.
2.1 Vesting Schedule. If the Recipient has maintained Continuous Service with the Company through each date specified on the cover page hereof, a portion of the RSUs shall vest on such date in such amounts as are set forth opposite each such date on the cover page hereof. If the Recipient’s Continuous Service with the Company is terminated by the Company or by the Recipient for any reason, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, no additional RSUs shall become vested under any circumstances with respect to the Recipient. Any determination under this Agreement as to Continuous Service or other matters referred to above shall be made in good faith by the Committee or Board, whose decision shall be final and binding on all parties.
2.2 Acceleration. The Committee or Board may at any time provide that all or any portion of the RSUs awarded pursuant to this Agreement shall become free of some or all restrictions, or otherwise realizable in full or in part, as the case may be, despite the fact that the foregoing actions may cause the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code if a Change In Control of the Company occurs.
2.3 Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, the Committee or the Board may take such actions as provided in Section 15 of the Plan.

3. Restrictions on Transfer. Subject to any exceptions set forth in this Agreement or the Plan, during the Restricted Period and until such time as the RSUs are settled in accordance with Section 5 hereafter, the RSUs or the rights relating thereto may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Recipient. Any attempt to assign, alienate, pledge, attach, sell or otherwise transfer or encumber the RSUs or the rights relating thereto shall be wholly ineffective.
4. Rights as Stockholder; Dividend Equivalents.
4.1 The Recipient shall not have any rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs unless and until the RSUs vest and are settled by the issuance of such shares of Common Stock.
4.2 Upon and following the settlement of the RSUs, the Recipient shall be the record owner of the shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs unless and until such shares are sold or otherwise disposed of, and as record owner shall be entitled to all rights of a stockholder of the Company (including voting rights). The Company reserves the right to settle those RSUs that are subject to forward vesting under Section 2.2 hereof in cash at its sole discretion.
4.3 [The Recipient shall not be entitled to any Dividend Equivalents with respect to the RSUs to reflect any dividends payable on shares of Common Stock.]
5. Settlement of RSUs.
5.1 Subject to Section 8 hereafter, within five (5) business days following the vesting date, (and in any event no later than March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such vesting occurs if settlement of the RSUs cannot be settled within said five (5) business day period for reasons outside the reasonable control of the Company), the Company shall, except as to any RSUs that may be settled in cash as referenced in Section 4.2 hereof (a) issue and deliver to the Recipient the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of units that have vested; and (b) enter the Recipient’s name on the books of the Company as the stockholder of record with respect to the shares of Common Stock delivered to the Recipient.
5.2 If the Recipient is deemed a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, as determined by the Committee, at a time when the Recipient becomes eligible for settlement of the RSUs upon his/her “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, then to the extent necessary to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, such settlement will be delayed until the earlier of: (a) the date that is six (6) months following the Recipient’s separation from service and (b) the Recipient's death.

5.3 To the extent that the Recipient does not vest in RSUs, all interest in such RSUs shall be forfeited. The Recipient has no right or interest in any RSUs that are forfeited.
6. No Right to Continued Service. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall confer upon the Recipient any right to be retained in any position, as an employee, consultant or director of the Company. Further, nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall be construed to limit the discretion of the Company to terminate the Recipient’s employment at any time, with or without Cause.
7. Adjustments. If any change is made to the outstanding Common Stock or the capital structure of the Company, if required, the RSUs shall be adjusted or terminated in any manner as contemplated by Section 14 of the Plan.
8. Withholding Taxes. The Company may withhold any and all applicable taxes required to be by the Company, in connection with the issuance or vesting of the RSUs to the Recipient, as provided in the Plan.
Recipient further agrees to take any further actions and execute any additional documents as may be necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 8 and the Recipient hereby grants the Company an irrevocable power of attorney to sign such additional documents on the Recipient’s behalf if the Company is unable after reasonable efforts to obtain Recipient’s signature on such additional documents. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable by the Recipient.
9. Compliance with Law. The issuance and transfer of shares of Common Stock shall be subject to compliance by the Company and the Recipient with all applicable requirements of federal and state securities laws and with all applicable requirements of any stock exchange on which the Company's shares of Common Stock may be listed. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued or transferred unless and until any then applicable requirements of state and federal laws and regulatory agencies have been fully complied with to the satisfaction of the Company and its counsel.
