Pursuant to the Restricted Stock Unit Award Grant Notice (the “Grant Notice”) to which this Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (the “Agreement”) is attached, XTI Aerospace, Inc. (f/k/a Inpixon), a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) has granted to the Participant an award of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) under the Amended and Restated XTI Aerospace, Inc. 2018 Employee Stock Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”), as set forth in the Grant Notice. Capitalized terms not specifically defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Plan and the Grant Notice.

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 UNITS

 

2.1 Award of Restricted Stock Units. 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 RSUs (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. The number of RSUs subject to the Award is set forth in the Grant Notice and may be converted into the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company equal to the number of RSUs, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement. Each RSU shall be a notional share of Common Stock, with the value of each RSU being equal to the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock at any time.

 

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 of Common Stock 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 3.1 hereof and the exposure to forfeiture set forth in this Section 2.2(a).

 

A-1

 

 

(b) Vesting and Lapse of Restrictions. RSUs 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 RSUs.” All other RSUs are collectively referred to herein as “Unvested RSUs.” Subject to Section 2.2(a) above, the RSUs 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 RSUs shall become Vested RSUs immediately prior to the occurrence of such applicable event.

 

(c) Delivery of Common Stock. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, upon the vesting of RSUs, or as soon as practicable following vesting, and in no event, later than 90 days after vesting of RSUs, the Company shall convert the Vested RSUs into the number of whole shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Vested RSUs and shall deliver to the Participant or the Participant’s personal representative a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Vested RSUs credited to the Participant.

 

(d) Who May Receive Common Stock with Respect to Vested RSUs. During the lifetime of the Participant, the Common Stock received upon conversion of the Vested RSUs may only be received by the Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. If the Participant dies prior to the dates the Participant’s RSUs are converted into shares of Common Stock as described in Section 2.2(c) above, the Common Stock relating to such converted RSUs may be received by any individual who is entitled to receive the property of the Participant pursuant to the applicable laws of descent and distribution.

 

(e) 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 upon the conversion of Vested RSUs. 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 to be delivered upon the conversion 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 receipt, vesting or settlement 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.
