1. Grant of RSUs	Subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in the Shapeways Holdings, Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), the Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Grant Notice”), and this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”), the Company has granted to you the number of RSUs set forth in the Grant Notice. All capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them in this Agreement, the Grant Notice or the Plan, as applicable.
2. Nature of RSUs	Your RSUs are bookkeeping entries.  They represent only the Company’s unfunded and unsecured promise to issue Common Shares on a future date, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Grant Notice and the Plan.  As a holder of RSUs, you have no rights other than the rights of a general creditor of the Company.
3. Vested Status	The RSUs are fully vested as of the Date of Grant.
4. Settlement of RSUs	(a) Each vested RSU shall be settled no later than the 74th day following the Date of Grant, and in any event within the “short-term deferral period” as defined under Code Section 409A. In no event will you be permitted, directly or indirectly, to specify the taxable year of settlement of any RSUs subject to this award. (b) At the time of settlement, you will receive one Common Share for each vested RSU (plus payment of any dividend equivalents pursuant to Section 6).
5. Section 409A	These RSUs are intended to be exempt from the application of Code Section 409A pursuant to the “short-term deferral” exemption under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4), and this Agreement and the Grant Notice shall be administered and interpreted in a manner that complies with such exemption.
6. No Voting Rights; Dividend Equivalents	Your RSUs carry neither voting rights nor rights to cash dividends.  You have no rights as a stockholder of the Company unless and until your RSUs are settled by issuing Common Shares.  Each of your RSUs shall be credited with dividend equivalents, which shall be withheld by the Company for your account.  Dividend equivalents credited to your account and attributable to an RSU shall be distributed (without interest) to you at the same time as the underlying Common Share is delivered upon settlement of such RSU.  Dividend equivalents may be payable, in the discretion of the Company, (x) in cash, (y) in Common Shares with a Fair Market Value as of the date the RSUs are settled equal to the dividend equivalents, or (z) in an adjustment to the underlying number of Common Shares subject to the RSUs.

7. RSUs Nontransferable	The RSUs may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered (a “Transfer”) by you other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, to your family members, a trust or entity established by you for estate planning purposes, a charitable organization designated by you, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order or as otherwise permitted under the Plan; provided, that in case of any such permitted transfer, (i) the clawback provisions shall continue to relate to your Service and any termination thereof and (ii) such transfer shall be subject to such advance notice and other rules and requirements as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion.  Any attempted Transfer of the RSUs contrary to the provisions hereof, and the levy of any execution, attachment or similar process upon the RSUs, shall be null and void and without effect.  In addition, regardless of any marital property settlement agreement, the Company is not obligated to recognize your former spouse’s interest in your RSUs in any way.
8. Beneficiary Designation	You may dispose of your RSUs in a written beneficiary designation if authorized by the Company and to the extent such beneficiary designation is valid under applicable law.  Any beneficiary designation must be filed with the Company on the proper form.  It will be recognized only if it has been received at the Company’s headquarters before your death.  If you do not file any beneficiary designation or if none of your designated beneficiaries survives you, then your estate will receive any vested RSUs that you hold at the time of your death.
9. Withholding Taxes	(a) Regardless of any action the Company (or, if applicable, the Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate employing or retaining you (the “Employer”)) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you (“Tax-Related Items”), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company and/or the Employer. You further acknowledge that the Company and the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RSUs, including, but not limited to, the grant or vested status of the RSUs, the issuance of Common Shares in respect of the RSUs, the subsequent sale of Common Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends and/or any dividend equivalents; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the RSUs or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if you are subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, you acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. (b) No Common Shares will be distributed to you pursuant to the RSUs unless you have made arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer for the payment of any Tax-Related Items that the Company and/or the Employer determine must be withheld. In this regard, you authorize the Company to satisfy your Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following, as determined by the Administrator. ·     Withholding the amount of any Tax-Related Items from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or the Employer; ·      Instructing a brokerage firm selected by the Company for this purpose to sell on your behalf a number of whole shares of Company stock to be issued to you when the RSUs are settled that the Company determines are appropriate to generate cash proceeds sufficient to satisfy the Tax-Related Items. You acknowledge that the Company or its designee is under no obligation to arrange for such sale at any particular price. Regardless of whether the Company arranges for such sale, you will be responsible for all fees and other costs of sale, and you agree to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any losses, costs, damages or expenses relating to any such sale; ·      Withholding Common Shares that would otherwise be issued to you when the RSUs are settled equal in value to the Tax-Related Items. The fair market value of the withheld Common Shares, determined as of the date when taxes otherwise would have been withheld in cash, will be applied to the Tax-Related Items; or ·     Any other means approved by the Administrator. (c) You agree to pay to the Company in cash any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company does not elect to satisfy by the means described above. To the extent you fail to make satisfactory arrangements for the payment of any required withholding taxes, you will permanently forfeit the applicable RSUs (and related underlying Common Shares and any related dividend equivalents).

15.  No Fractional Shares	No fractional Common Shares will be issued upon settlement.  In lieu of issuing a fractional Common Share resulting from an adjustment of the RSUs pursuant to the Plan or otherwise, the Company shall be entitled to pay to you a cash amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional Common Share.
