Capitalized terms not specifically defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Plan and the Grant Notice.

 

Article I.

GENERAL

 

1.1 Incorporation of Terms of Plan. The Award (as defined below) is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall control.

 

Article II.

AWARD OF RESTRICTED STOCK

 

2.1 Award of Restricted Stock.

 

(a) Award. Pursuant to the Grant Notice and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, effective as of the Grant Date set forth in the Grant Notice, the Company has granted to the Participant an award of Restricted Stock (the “Award”) under the Plan in consideration of the Participant’s past and/or continued employment with or service to the Company or the Company’s affiliates, and for other good and valuable consideration which the Committee has determined exceeds the aggregate par value of the Common Stock subject to the Award as of the Grant Date. The number of Shares subject to the Award is set forth in the Grant Notice. The Participant is an employee, director or consultant of the Company or one of the Company’s affiliates.

 

(b) Book Entry Form; Certificates. At the sole discretion of the Committee, the Shares will be issued in either (i) uncertificated form, with the Shares recorded in the name of the Participant in the books and records of the Company’s transfer agent with appropriate notations regarding the restrictions on transfer imposed pursuant to this Agreement, and upon vesting and the satisfaction of all conditions set forth in Sections 2.2(b) and (d) hereof, the Company shall remove such notations on any such vested Shares in accordance with Section 2.1(e) below; or (ii) certificated form pursuant to the terms of Sections 2.1(c), (d) and (e) below.

 

A-1

 

 

(c) Legend. Certificates representing Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement shall, until all Restrictions (as defined below) imposed pursuant to this Agreement lapse or have been removed and the Shares have thereby become vested or the Shares represented thereby have been forfeited hereunder, bear the following legend (or such other legend as shall be determined by the Administrator):

 

“THE TRANSFERABILITY OF THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS (INCLUDING FORFEITURE) OF THE AMENDED AND RESTATED XTI AEROSPACE, INC. 2018 EMPLOYEE STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN AND A RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT. COPIES OF SUCH PLAN AND AGREEMENT ARE ON FILE AT THE OFFICES OF XTI AEROSPACE, INC. (F/K/A INPIXON), 8123 INTERPORT BLVD., SUITE C, ENGLEWOOD, CO 80112.”

 

(d) Escrow. The Secretary of the Company or such other escrow holder as the Committee may appoint may retain physical custody of any certificates representing the Shares until all of the Restrictions lapse or shall have been removed; in such event, the Participant shall not retain physical custody of any certificates representing unvested Shares issued to the Participant. The Participant, by acceptance of the Award, shall be deemed to appoint, and does so appoint, the Company and each of its authorized representatives as the Participant’s attorney(s)-in-fact to effect any transfer of unvested forfeited Shares (or Shares otherwise reacquired by the Company hereunder) to the Company as may be required pursuant to the Plan or this Agreement and to execute such documents as the Company or such representatives deem necessary or advisable in connection with any such transfer.

 

(e) Removal of Notations; Delivery of Certificates Upon Vesting. As soon as administratively practicable after the vesting of any Shares subject to the Award pursuant to Section 2.2(b) hereof, the Company shall, as applicable, either remove the notations on any Shares subject to the Award issued in book entry form which have vested or deliver to the Participant a certificate or certificates evidencing the number of Shares subject to the Award which have vested (or, in either case, such lesser number of Shares as may be permitted pursuant to Section 2.2(c) of this Agreement). The Participant (or the beneficiary or personal representative of the Participant in the event of the Participant’s death or incapacity, as the case may be) shall deliver to the Company any representations or other documents or assurances required by the Company. The Shares so delivered shall no longer be subject to the Restrictions hereunder.

 

2.2 Restrictions.

 

(a) Forfeiture. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, upon the Participant’s Termination of Service for any or no reason, any portion of the Award which has not vested prior to or in connection with such Termination of Service (after taking into consideration any accelerated vesting and lapsing of Restrictions, if any, which may occur in connection with such Termination of Service) shall thereupon be forfeited immediately and without any further action by the Company or the Participant, and the Participant shall have no further right or interest in or with respect to such Shares or such portion of the Award. For purposes of this Agreement, “Restrictions” shall mean the restrictions on sale or other transfer set forth in Section 3.2 hereof and the exposure to forfeiture set forth in this Section 2.2(a).

 

A-2

 

 

(b) Vesting and Lapse of Restrictions. Shares which have become vested pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice and this Section 2.2(b) are collectively referred to herein as “Vested Shares.” All other Shares are collectively referred to herein as “Unvested Shares.” Subject to Section 2.2(a) above, the Award shall vest and Restrictions shall lapse in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice (rounding down to the nearest whole Share, except in the case of the final vesting event). In addition, if (x) the Participant’s Termination of Service is due to the Participant’s death or Total Disability or (y) a Change of Control occurs and the Participant remains an employee, non-employee director, consultant, or vendor at least until immediately prior to the Change of Control, all Unvested Shares shall become Vested Shares immediately prior to the occurrence of such applicable event.

 

(c) Tax Withholding. The Company or the Company’s affiliates shall be entitled to require a cash payment (or to elect, such other form of payment determined in accordance with Section 13 of the Plan) by or on behalf of the Participant and/or to deduct from other compensation payable to the Participant any sums required by federal, state or local tax law to be withheld with respect to the grant or vesting of the Award or the lapse of the Restrictions hereunder. In satisfaction of the foregoing withholding requirement, unless otherwise determined by the Company or the Company’s affiliates, the Company shall withhold the number of Shares upon the vesting of the Vested RSUs with an aggregate Fair Market Value that equals (but does not exceed) the amount of any federal, state and/or local taxes required by law to be withheld in connection with the Award. The Participant acknowledges that there may be adverse tax consequences upon the vesting of this Award or disposition of the underlying shares and that the Participant has been advised, and hereby is advised, to consult a tax advisor. The Participant represents that the Participant is in no manner relying on the Board, the Committee, the Company or an affiliate or any of their respective managers, directors, officers, employees or authorized representatives (including, without limitation, attorneys, accountants, consultants, bankers, lenders, prospective lenders and financial representatives) for tax advice or an assessment of such tax consequences.

 

(d) Conditions to Delivery of Shares. Subject to Section 2.1 above, the Shares deliverable under this Award may be either previously authorized but unissued Shares, treasury Shares or Shares purchased on the open market. Such Shares shall be fully paid and nonassessable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the issuance of such Shares shall not be delayed if and to the extent that such delay would result in a violation of Section 409A of Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). In the event that the Company delays the issuance of such Shares because it reasonably determines that the issuance of such Shares will violate Section 17 of the Plan, such issuance shall be made at the earliest date at which the Company reasonably determines that issuing such Shares will not cause such violation, as required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(7)(ii).

 

2.3 Consideration to the Company. In consideration of the grant of the Award pursuant hereto, the Participant agrees to render faithful and efficient services to the Company or any affiliate of the Company.

Article III.

OTHER PROVISIONS

 

3.1 Section 83(b) Election. If the Participant makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed with respect to the Restricted Stock as of the date of transfer of the Restricted Stock rather than as of the date or dates upon which the Participant would otherwise be taxable under Section 83(a) of the Code, the Participant hereby agrees to deliver a copy of such election to the Company promptly after filing such election with the Internal Revenue Service.

 

3.2 Restricted Stock Not Transferable. Until the Restrictions hereunder lapse or expire pursuant to this Agreement and the Shares vest, the Restricted Stock (including any Shares received by holders thereof with respect to Restricted Stock as a result of stock dividends, stock splits or any other form of recapitalization) shall be subject to the restrictions on transferability set forth in Section 6.3(B) of the Plan.

 

3.3 Rights as Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided herein and in Sections 6.3(A), 6.3(B) and 6.3(C) of the Plan, upon the Grant Date, the Participant shall have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Shares, subject to the Restrictions, including, without limitation, voting rights and rights to receive any cash or stock dividends, in respect of the Shares subject to the Award and deliverable hereunder.

The remedy of specific performance shall be cumulative of all of the rights and remedies at law or in equity of the parties under the Grant Notice and this Agreement.

 

3.6 The Participant’s Representations. Notwithstanding any of the provisions hereof, the Participant hereby agrees that the Participant will not acquire any Shares, and that the Company will not be obligated to issue any Share to the Participant hereunder, if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock shall constitute a violation by the Participant or the Company of any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental authority. Any determination by the Company under this Section 3.6 shall be final, binding, and conclusive. The obligations of the Company and the rights of the Participant are subject to all Applicable Laws.

 

3.7 Investment Representation. Unless the Shares are issued to the Participant in a transaction registered under applicable federal and state securities laws, by the Participant’s execution hereof, the Participant represents and warrants to the Company that all Common Stock which may be acquired hereunder will be acquired by the Participant for investment purposes for the Participant’s own account and not with any intent for resale or distribution in violation of federal or state securities laws, all certificates issued with respect to the Common Stock shall bear an appropriate restrictive investment legend and shall be held indefinitely, unless they are subsequently registered under the applicable federal and state securities laws or the Participant obtains an opinion of counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and its counsel, that such registration is not required.

 

A-4

 

 

3.8 Not a Contract of Service Relationship. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue to serve as an employee or other service provider of the Company or any of the Company’s affiliates or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company and the Company’s affiliates, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of the Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between the Company or an affiliate of the Company and the Participant.

3.17 Limitation on the Participant’s Rights. Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided.

The Participant shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company and affiliates of the Company with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the Shares issuable hereunder.
