(f/k/a Forum Merger III Corporation), a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the employee of the Company, or one of its affiliates, whose signature is set forth on the signature page hereof (the “Participant”). This Agreement shall be effective as of the Grant Date but shall be contingent on the Participant accepting this Agreement.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Electric Last Mile Solutions, Inc. 2020 Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which permits the Company to issue incentive awards to certain of its or its affiliates’ key personnel; and

WHEREAS, the Participant is an employee of the Company or one of its affiliates, to whom the Company wishes to provide with the opportunity to receive a grant of restricted stock units (the “RSUs”); and

WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant the Participant RSUs under the Plan representing the Participant’s right to receive a specified number of shares of Common Stock if the Participant remains in employment until the applicable vesting date and certain performance goals are achieved.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the covenants and agreements herein set forth, the parties hereby mutually covenant and agree as follows:

1. Award of RSUs. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company hereby awards the Participant time vesting RSUs relating to ______ shares of Common Stock (the “Time Vesting RSUs”) and performance vesting RSUs relating to _______ shares of Common Stock (the “Performance Vesting RSUs”).

2. Earning and Vesting.

(a) Time Vesting RSUs. Subject to Section 4, ________% of the total Time Vesting RSUs shall vest on each of _____________, provided Participant continues to be employed with the Company or one of its affiliates on each of such vesting dates.

(b) Performance Vesting RSUs. Subject to Section 4, the percentage of the Performance Vesting RSUs indicated in the table below will be deemed eligible for vesting (the “Eligible Performance Vesting RSUs”) if the performance goal indicated is achieved within the applicable performance period, as thereafter affirmed by the Board no later than ___________, as it shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion. [_______ of the total Eligible Performance Vesting RSUs shall vest on the date of the Board affirmation and on each of the ___________ subsequent anniversaries of such affirmation, provided Participant continues to be employed with the Company or one of its affiliates on the applicable vesting date]:

Percentage of RSUs Earned        Performance Goal          Performance Period

3. Settlement. As soon as reasonably practicable (but no more than two and one-half (2½) months) after each vesting date, as is determined by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion, the Company will issue to the Participant a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of RSUs that were deemed vested as a result of such date and/or event.

4. Termination of Employment or Lapse of Performance Period. If the Participant’s employment with the Company and its affiliates is terminated for any reason, then all RSUs that have not become earned and vested as of the date of termination shall be forfeited as of the date on which such termination occurs. In addition, if the performance period applicable to Performance Vesting RSUs ends without the applicable performance goals having been achieved, as determined by the Board, in its sole discretion, such Performance Vesting RSUs will be forfeited as of the last day of such performance period.

5. No Rights as a Stockholder; Dividend Equivalents. The Participant shall not have any rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs (including, without limitation, any voting rights, or any right to dividends), until the shares have been issued hereunder.

6. Tax Withholding. As a condition of receiving this award of RSUs, the Participant agrees to pay to the Company, upon demand, such amount as may be requested by the Company for the purpose of satisfying its liability to withhold federal, state, or local income or other taxes due by reason of the grant, vesting or settlement of, or by reason of any other event relating to, the RSUs. If the Participant does not make such payment, then the Company or its affiliate may withhold such taxes from other amounts owed to the Participant or may choose to satisfy such withholding obligations by withholding a number of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable hereunder having a Fair Market Value on the date the tax obligation arises equal to the amount to be withheld; provided, however, that the amount to be withheld may not exceed the total maximum statutory tax rates associated with the transaction to the extent needed for the Company to avoid adverse accounting treatment; and provided, further, that, in the event the Company cannot for any reason withhold shares to satisfy such withholding obligations, the Participant agrees to pay to the Company upon demand such amount as may be requested by the Company for the purpose of satisfying such withholding obligations, and the Company may withhold any amounts necessary to satisfy its or its affiliates’ withholding obligations from other amounts owed to the Participant. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit net settlement.

7. No Right to Employment or Service; Clawback/Forfeiture/Recoupment of Awards for Breach of Contract. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the employment or service of the Company or any affiliate or interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or an affiliate to terminate the Participant’s employment or service at any time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if, after the Participant’s employment or service is terminated for any reason, the Participant breaches any material provision of any applicable confidentiality, non-compete, non-solicit, general release, covenant not-to-xxx or other similar agreement with the Company or any affiliate, then the Participant will forfeit any compensation, gain or other value realized on the vesting or settlement of any award granted under this Agreement or the sale or other transfer of any award granted under this Agreement and must promptly repay such amounts to the Company.

8. Interpretation by Committee. The Participant agrees that any dispute or disagreement which may arise in connection with this Agreement shall be resolved by the Committee, in its sole discretion, and that any interpretation by the Committee of the terms of this Agreement or the Plan and any determination made by the Committee under this Agreement or the Plan may be made in the sole discretion of the Committee and shall be final, binding, and conclusive. Any such determination need not be uniform and may be made differently among Participants awarded restricted stock units.

9. Transferability. The Participant may not transfer any interest in the RSUs other than under the Participant’s will or as required by the laws of descent and distribution. The RSUs also may not be pledged, attached, or otherwise encumbered. Any purported assignment, alienation, sale, transfer, pledge, attachment, or encumbrance of the RSUs in violation of the terms of this Agreement shall be null and void and unenforceable against the Company or its successors. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Participant agrees and acknowledges with respect to any shares of Common Stock issued hereunder that have not been registered under the Securities Act: (a) he or she will not sell or otherwise dispose of such shares except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or in a transaction which, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, is exempt from such registration, and (b) a legend will be placed on the certificates for the shares to such effect.
