FORM OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
ROYALTY FLOW INC.
2018 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN
Subject to the terms of the Royalty Flow Inc. 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), Royalty Flow Inc. (the “Company”) and the Participant (“you”) agree as follows:
1. Definitions. The term “Grant Date” means the date on specified in the grant notice attached as Exhibit A (Grant Notice). Other capitalized terms that are not defined in this Agreement have the meanings defined in the Plan.
2. Grant of Restricted Stock Units. The Company grants to you Restricted Stock Units relating to the number of shares of Common Stock included on your Grant Notice. [Notwithstanding Section 9(d)(2) of the Plan, the Restricted Stock Units shall be settled solely through the issuance of shares of Common Stock.]
3. Vesting. The Restricted Period for the Restricted Stock Units will lapse and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Units will be issued to you as follows:
| 3.1 | Continuous Employment. As long as you have not experienced a Termination before each applicable vesting date, [vesting schedule to be inserted] (each [anniversary], a “Vesting Date”). Upon vesting, the shares of Common Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Units will be rounded down to the nearest whole share of Common Stock. |
|
|
|
| 3.2 | Termination. In the event of your Termination before the last Vesting Date, you will forfeit any unvested Restricted Stock Units for no consideration. However, if your Termination occurs because of your Disability or death, any outstanding Restricted Stock Units will become fully vested and the Restricted Period for those Restricted Stock Units will lapse upon your Termination. |
4. Non-Transferability. You may not transfer the Restricted Stock Units except as permitted under Section 14(b) of the Plan.
5. No Stockholder Rights. You do not have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Restricted Stock Units unless and until the Common Stock relating to the Restricted Stock Units has been delivered to you. You will, however, be entitled to be credited with dividend equivalent payments upon the payment by the Company of dividends on shares of Common Stock, in shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such dividends, without interest, which accumulated dividend equivalents shall be payable at the same time as the underlying Restricted Stock Units are settled following the date on which the Restricted Period lapses with respect to the Restricted Stock Units. If the Restricted Stock Units are forfeited, you shall have no right to such dividend equivalent payments.
6. Tax Withholding. This Award will be subject to all applicable taxes as provided in Section 14(d) of the Plan.
7. Notice. Every notice or other communication relating to this Agreement between the Company and you must be in writing. All notices and communications between you and any third-party Plan administrator must be mailed, delivered, transmitted, or sent according to that administrator’s procedures.

No waiver by either of the parties to this Agreement of their rights will constitute a waiver of any subsequent occurrences or transactions unless the waiver specifically states that it is to be construed as a continuing waiver.

10. Governing Law; Forum. This Agreement will be construed and interpreted under the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law.
