Dear Xxxx:

On behalf of EzFill Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), I am pleased to offer you the position of Chief Commercial Officer (“CCO”). As CCO you will be reporting to the Company’s CEO and working remotely. Your Employment Start Date will be Monday November 2, 2020.

	1.	Pre-IPO Hourly Consultation. Until the close of the Company’s Initial Public Offering (IPO) and listing on the Nasdaq, you will be a part time employee and the Company will compensate you on an hourly basis for the work you do on behalf of the Company. Your hourly compensation will be $150 per hour less applicable taxes, deductions, and withholdings, paid monthly. You will be responsible for keeping and reporting your hours to the Company. Pre-IPO you will have the option to accept your hourly pay in shares of the Company’s common stock at a valuation of $1.00 per share. Should you choose to be paid in shares of the Company’s common stock you will receive $200 worth of shares per hour.
	2.	Base Salary Post-IPO Following the Company’s IPO and listing on the Nasdaq, you will transition to full-time employment and your annual-base salary will be $22,916.66 per month ($275,000 annually), less applicable taxes, deductions, and withholdings, paid monthly and subject to annual review (“Base Salary”). Your Base Salary will automatically increase by 5% on each anniversary of your Employment Start Date. You will be paid on the Company’s regularly scheduled payday.

As added consideration for you joining the Company, on your Employment Start Date, the Company will issue you a signing bonus of 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Signing Shares”). The amount of Signing Shares which you receive will be based on a share price of $1.00 per share. The Signing Shares will fully vest upon completion of the Company’s initial public offering and listing on a US public Exchange.
	4.	Annual Performance Cash Bonus. Upon meeting pre-determined periodic Key Performance Indicators (“KPIs”) every year, you will be eligible for an annual cash bonus of 45% of your base salary. Your KPI’s will be set by the mutual agreement of the Company and yourself within 60 days from your Employment Start Date (the “Cash Performance Bonus”). The Failure to establish KPI’s which is not the fault of the Company will exclude you from eligibility for the Performance Bonus. To qualify for the Cash Performance Bonus, you must meet the KPI’s.
	5.	Equity Awards. As a “C” level executive of the Company, you will be entitled to receive equity awards under the Company’s Incentive Plan, (the “Incentive Plan”), which should be in place shortly after your Employment Start Date. The aggregate annual award value under the Incentive Plan will be equal to 50% of your Base Salary, as adjusted from time to time, (the “Grant”). Fifty percent (50%) of such Grant will be in the form of Restricted Common Stock (the “RCSs”) and the remaining Fifty percent (50%) of such Grant will be in the form of options to purchase the Company’s common stock (the “Stock Options”). The number of Stock Options shall be calculated in accordance with the Company’s option valuation practices. The RCSs shall vest on the first anniversary of the day they were granted, the RCS grant will include a cash payment upon vesting to cover expected ordinary income tax charges and will be calculated at the highest individual personal income tax rate (“Gross Up”). The Stock Options shall vest in equal one-third (1/3) increments on each anniversary of the day they were granted. All Equity Awards shall be granted to you, provided that: (1) at the end of each applicable vesting date, you are still employed by the Company; and (2) provided that you satisfy the KPIs and the other performance criteria established by the Incentive Plan. All Stock Options that will be granted to you shall expire 5 years following their vesting.

	9.	Term and Termination. The initial term shall be three (3) years commencing on your Employment Start Date (the “Term”). On the third anniversary, your employment will be renewed automatically for additional one-year terms, unless the Company provides you with a notice of non-renewal at least 30 days prior to the end of the Term.
	10.	Termination by the Company for Cause. You may be terminated by the Company immediately and without notice for “Cause.” “Cause” shall mean: (i) your willful material misconduct; or (ii) your willful failure to materially perform your responsibilities to the Company. “Cause” shall be determined by the Company after conducting a meeting where you can be heard on the topic.

Upon Termination Without Cause the Company will (i) continue payment of your Base Salary for additional number of months equal to the number of months of your actual employment prior to the termination, capped at 6 months maximum payment. After the third year of your employment with the Company, if you are terminated without cause, you will receive a severance payment equal to 12 months of your base salary. In all other types of terminations or voluntary resignation on your part, all further vesting of your outstanding equity awards or bonuses, as well as all payments of compensation by the Company to you hereunder will terminate immediately (except as to amounts already earned and vested). The foregoing is your sole entitlement to severance payments and benefits in connection with the termination of your employment.
