WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant to the Grantee an award that is subject to both service and performance conditions (a “Performance Award”), as provided herein;
WHEREAS, the Performance Award will be granted apart from the Wheels Up Experience Inc. 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan (as it may be amended in accordance with the terms of the Plan from time to time, the “Plan”), but, except as set forth below and Section IIIA of the Plan, will be subject to the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Plan to the extent applicable to this Performance Award; and
WHEREAS, the Company and the Grantee understand and agree that any capitalized terms used herein, if not otherwise defined, will have the same meanings as in the Plan (the Grantee being referred to in the Plan as a Participant).
    NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the forgoing and following mutual covenants and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:
1.Grant of a Performance Award. The Company grants to the Grantee a Performance Award that provides the Grantee with the right to receive a distribution of a number of shares of Common Stock (“Shares”), subject to the prior (i) cash payment on the Term Loan (through full or partial repayment of the Term Loan Amount and/or cash payment of accrued “paid in kind” interest due under the Term Loan) in an amount equal to the Term Loan Amount (the “Repayment Event”); provided, however that a full exchange of the Term Loan by the Investors (as defined in Exhibit A to this Agreement, attached) with the Company or with a third-party for equity, other than an exchange in connection with a dissolution, insolvency or bankruptcy, shall constitute a Repayment Event for purposes of this Section 1 and (ii) satisfaction of the applicable service-vesting conditions set forth herein, with the number of Shares to be determined at each applicable Determination Date (as defined below). The number of Shares to be delivered to the Grantee with respect to each applicable Determination Date will be determined based on the portion of the Total Investor Profits (as defined on Exhibit A to this Agreement, attached) earned by the Grantee as of each Determination Date and calculated solely in accordance with the vesting and settlement terms set forth in this Agreement and on Exhibit A hereto. The Grantee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and acknowledges that the definitive records pertaining to the grant of the Performance Award, and rights hereunder, will be retained by the Company.




2.Vesting Conditions; Determination Dates. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Repayment Event must occur prior to the distribution of any Shares and then, once the Repayment Event has occurred, the number of Shares to be distributed to Grantee will first be determined on December 31 of the year in which the Repayment Event occurs and then on December 31 of each year thereafter (each such December 31, a “Determination Date”) until December 31, 2028; provided, however, that if a Change of Control occurs prior to any Determination Date, the date of the consummation of the Change of Control will be deemed a Repayment Event and the final Determination Date, and provided further that in the event of a Change of Control within six (6) months following the termination of Grantee’s employment for any reason other than for Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement), the Grantee will become 100% vested as of the date of the Change of Control.
3.Vesting and Settlement. The Performance Award will vest and settle in accordance with the terms set forth on Exhibit A hereto. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement, the parties agree that the delivery of any Shares pursuant to this Performance Award is subject to the stockholders of the Company (“Stockholders ”)approving this Performance Award and approving a sufficient number of Shares to be issued to the Grantee and in the event that this Performance Award is not properly approved by the Stockholders or on any Determination Date there is not a sufficient number of Shares with respect to this Performance Award approved by the Stockholders in order to deliver the number of Shares due under this Performance Award, the Company shall make a payment fully in cash to the Grantee in an amount equal to the value of the Shares as determined under Section 2(c) in Exhibit A that would have otherwise been delivered to the Grantee pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth on Exhibit A hereto had the sufficient number of Shares been approved by Stockholders at that time.
4.Termination of Service. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Employment Agreement, this Agreement or Exhibit A to this Agreement:

For the avoidance of doubt, any percentage of the Performance Award in excess of the Service Vested Percentage will be forfeited for no consideration.
(b)Involuntary Termination Other Than for Cause or Due to Grantee’s Resignation with Good Reason. In the event that the Grantee’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or the Grantee resigns with Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement): (i) the Service Vested Percentage of the Performance Award will be determined as if the Grantee had remained employed though the next anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date after the date of termination of employment; provided, however, that if the next anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date after the date of termination of employment is less than three (3) months following the date of termination of employment pursuant to this Section 4(b), the Service Vested Percentage will be determined as if the Grantee had remained employed through the next two anniversaries of the Vesting Commencement Date after the date of termination of employment; and (ii) upon an involuntary termination other than

EXHIBIT A
Vesting and Settlement of Performance Award
Each capitalized term used and not otherwise defined in this Exhibit A will have the meaning set forth in the Performance Award Agreement (the “Agreement”) to which this Exhibit A is attached. This Performance Award provides the Grantee with the opportunity to share in the growth of the value of the Company based on the Total Investor Profits recognized or deemed to be recognized by the Investors and his providing services to the Company.
1.    Repayment Event. No Shares will be provided or granted with respect to the Performance Award unless and until a Repayment Event has occurred. For the avoidance of doubt, a Repayment Event will be deemed to have occurred if the Investors refinance the Term Loan at the time of the Scheduled Maturity Date.
2.    Calculation and Settlement of Performance Award. Following a Repayment Event, the Grantee will be entitled to receive a number of Shares calculated by the Company on each Determination Date as follows:
(a)    The Company shall determine the Grantee Profit Percentage by calculating the Investor MOIC on each Determination Date following a Repayment Event;
(b)     The Company shall determine the Grantee Profit Amount on each Determination Date by multiplying the (i) Total Investor Profits as of the Determination Date by (ii) Grantee Profit Percentage;
(c)    The number of Shares to be granted by the Company to the Grantee in connection with the applicable Determination Date will be the amount by which (i) (A) the Grantee Profit Amount multiplied by (B) the Service Vested Percentage divided by (C) the Stock Price exceeds (ii) the number of Previously Granted Shares, all determined as of such Determination Date. Consistent with Article XIX of the Plan, this number of Shares will be adjusted to the extent (if any) necessary to preserve the intended incentive of the Performance Award and eliminate any negative or positive impact on Grantee of any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, share combination, or recapitalization or similar event affecting the capital structure of the Company occurring during any period prior to the calculation and settlement of the Performance Award. The number of Shares issuable pursuant to the immediately foregoing sentence will be (i) rounded to the nearest whole share and (ii) reduced by the amounts required to be withheld for federal, state, local or foreign income taxes, withholding taxes or employment taxes divided by the Stock Price.
(d)    The Shares will be distributed to the Grantee no later than the 30th day following the Determination Date.
For the avoidance of doubt, the calculation set forth in this Section 2 will be undertaken on each Determination Date following a Repayment Event, without any condition of continuing employment or service by Grantee other than upon a termination with Cause.

(a)Dilutive Shares Value” means as of any Determination Date (i) the Stock Price multiplied by (ii) the product of (x) the sum of (A) the number of Shares to be granted to the Grantee pursuant to the first sentence of Section 2(c) above in connection with such Determination Date (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be prior to any reduction in such number of Shares to cover federal, state, local and foreign income taxes, withholding taxes or employment taxes) and (B) the number of Previously Granted Shares multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of New Investor Shares and the denominator of which is the fully diluted outstanding Shares of the Company as of the applicable Determination Date.
(b)Grantee Profit Amount” means the Grantee Profit Percentage multiplied by the Total Investor Profits.
(c)Grantee Profit Percentage” means the percentage of the Total Investor Profit that the Grantee is entitled to receive determined on each applicable Determination Date based on the Investor MOIC as set forth below. The Grantee Profit Percentage will be:

(ii)7% if the Investor MOIC is greater than 2.00x and less than or equal to 3.00x; or
