THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of the Grant Date specified above, is entered into by and between Ads-Tec Energy Public Limited Company, an Irish public limited company duly incorporated under the laws of Ireland (the “Company”), and the Participant specified above, pursuant to the Ads-Tec Energy Public Limited Company, 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as in effect and as amended from time to time (the “Plan”), which is administered by the Committee; and

WHEREAS, it has been determined under the Plan that it would be in the best interests of the Company to grant the shares of Restricted Stock provided herein to the Participant.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto hereby mutually covenant and agree as follows:

1. Incorporation By Reference; Plan Document Receipt. This Agreement is subject in all respects to the terms and provisions of the Plan (including, without limitation, any amendments thereto adopted at any time and from time to time unless such amendments are expressly intended not to apply to the Award provided hereunder), all of which terms and provisions are made a part of and incorporated in this Agreement as if they were each expressly set forth herein. Any capitalized term not defined in this Agreement shall have the same meaning as is ascribed thereto in the Plan. The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a true copy of the Plan and that the Participant has read the Plan carefully and fully understands its content. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control.

2. Grant of Restricted Stock Award. The Company hereby grants to the Participant, as of the Grant Date specified above, the number of shares of Restricted Stock specified above. Except as otherwise provided by the Plan, the Participant agrees and understands that nothing contained in this Agreement provides, or is intended to provide, the Participant with any protection against potential future dilution of the Participant’s interest in the Company for any reason, and no adjustments shall be made for dividends in cash or other property, distributions or other rights in respect of any such shares, except as otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan or this Agreement. Subject to Section 5 hereof, the Participant shall not have the rights of a stockholder in respect of the shares underlying this Award until such shares are delivered to the Participant in accordance with Section 4 hereof.

3. Vesting.

(a) General. Subject to the provisions of Sections 3(b) and 3(c) hereof, the shares of Restricted Stock subject to this grant shall become unrestricted and vested as follows, provided that the Participant has not incurred a Termination prior to each such vesting date:

Vesting Date		Number of Shares
[●]		[●]
[●]		[●]
[●]		[●]
[●]		[●]

There shall be no proportionate or partial vesting in the periods prior to each vesting date and all vesting shall occur only on the appropriate vesting date, subject to the Participant’s continued service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on each applicable vesting date.

(b) Committee Discretion to Accelerate Vesting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide for accelerated vesting of the Restricted Stock at any time and for any reason.

(c) [Termination Following a Change in Control. Change in Control vesting provisions to be determined on a case-by-case basis by the Committee.]

(d) Forfeiture. Except as provided pursuant to Section 3(c) above, and subject to the Committee’s discretion to accelerate vesting hereunder all unvested shares of Restricted Stock shall be immediately forfeited upon the Participant’s Termination for any reason.

4. Restriction Period; Delivery of Unrestricted Shares. The Restriction Period commences on the Grant Date and expires on the vesting date in accordance with Section 3(a) above. When the shares of Restricted Stock awarded by this Agreement become vested, the Participant shall be entitled to exercise all rights attaching to those shares under the By-Laws of the Company. If, in accordance with section 10 hereof, the Participant’s share certificates contain legends restricting the transfer of such shares, the Participant shall be entitled to receive new share certificates free of such legends (except any legends requiring compliance with securities laws).

5. Dividends and Other Distributions; Voting. The Participant shall be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock, provided that any such dividends or other distributions will be subject to the same vesting requirements as the underlying shares of Restricted Stock to which such dividends or distributions relate and shall be paid at the time the related shares of Restricted Stock become unrestricted and vested pursuant to Section 3 hereof. If any dividends or distributions are paid in shares, such shares shall be issued to the Participant but shall be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability (and other restrictions) as the Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid until such shares of Restricted Stock have vested. Once the Participant becomes the holder of record of the shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder, the Participant may exercise full voting rights with respect to such shares.

6. Non-Transferability. The shares of Restricted Stock, and any rights and interests with respect thereto, issued under this Agreement and the Plan shall not, prior to vesting, be sold, exchanged, transferred, assigned, pledged, encumbered, disposed of or otherwise hypothecated in any way by the Participant (or any beneficiary of the Participant), other than by testamentary disposition by the Participant, the laws of descent and distribution or by transmission in accordance with the By-Laws of the Company. Any attempt to sell, exchange, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of or hypothecate in any way any of the shares of Restricted Stock, or the levy of any execution, attachment or similar legal process upon the shares of Restricted Stock, contrary to the terms and provisions of this Agreement and/or the Plan shall be null and void and without legal force or effect.

7. Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the choice of law principles thereof.

8. Withholding of Tax. The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require the Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state, local and foreign taxes of any kind (including, but not limited to, the Participant’s FICA and SDI obligations) which the Company, in its sole discretion, deems necessary to be withheld or remitted to comply with the Code and/or any other applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to the Restricted Stock and, if the Participant fails to do so, the Company may otherwise refuse to issue or transfer any Common Stock otherwise required to be issued pursuant to this Agreement. Any minimum statutorily required withholding obligation with regard to the Participant may, with the consent of the Committee, be satisfied by reducing the amount of cash or shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable to the Participant hereunder.

9. Section 83(b). If the Participant properly elects (as required by Section 83(b) of the Code) within thirty (30) days after the issuance of the shares of Restricted Stock to include in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the year of issuance the Fair Market Value of such shares of Restricted Stock, the Participant shall pay to the Company or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company to pay to the Company upon such election, any federal, state or local taxes required to be withheld with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock. If the Participant shall fail to make such payment, the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock, as well as the rights set forth in Section 8 hereof. The Participant acknowledges that it is the Participant’s sole responsibility, and not the Company’s, to file timely and properly the election under Section 83(b) of the Code and any corresponding provisions of state tax laws if the Participant elects to make such election, and the Participant agrees to timely provide the Company with a copy of any such election.

10. Legend. During the Restriction Period, all certificates representing the shares of Restricted Stock shall have endorsed thereon a customary securities law legend evidencing the restrictions on those shares to the extent deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company in its discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company be obligated to deliver to the Participant a certificate representing the shares of Restricted Stock prior to the vesting dates set forth above.
