Terms with initial capitalized letters used herein (including in the immediately preceding sentence) and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in Section 1.1 hereof.

A.Jet.AI owns 100% of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of SpinCo (the “SpinCo Stock”).
B.Jet.AI, acting through its direct and indirect Subsidiaries, currently conducts the Jet.AI Retained Business and the SpinCo Business.
C.The Board of Directors of Jet.AI (the “Jet.AI Board”) has determined that it is appropriate, desirable and in the best interests of Jet.AI and its stockholders to separate Jet.AI into two separate companies, one for each of (i) the Jet.AI Retained Business, which shall be retained, owned and conducted, directly or indirectly, by Jet.AI and its Subsidiaries (other than SpinCo and its Subsidiaries) and (ii) the SpinCo Business, which shall be owned and conducted by SpinCo (the “Separation”).

E.The Jet.AI Board has further determined that it is appropriate and desirable, on the terms and conditions contemplated hereby, immediately following such separation to make a distribution of the SpinCo Business to the holders of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Jet.AI (the “Jet.AI Stock”) on the Record Date through the distribution of all of the outstanding shares of SpinCo Stock to holders of Jet.AI Stock on the Record Date on a pro rata basis in accordance with a distribution ratio to be determined by the Jet.AI Board (the “Distribution”), in each case, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
F.Immediately following the Distribution, Jet.AI will hold none of the outstanding shares of SpinCo Stock.
G.The Jet.AI Board has further determined that it is appropriate and desirable, on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of the date hereof (the “Merger Agreement”), among Jet.AI, SpinCo, flyExclusive and FlyX Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of flyExclusive
4
(“Merger Sub”), that following the Separation and Distribution, Merger Sub will merge with and into SpinCo, with SpinCo continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”).
H.Pursuant to the Merger, shares of SpinCo Stock will be exchanged for shares of Parent Common Stock, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.
I.Jet.AI and flyExclusive will jointly prepare, and flyExclusive will file with the SEC, the Registration Statement, which will set forth certain disclosure concerning the Separation, the Distribution and the Merger.

The Board of Directors of SpinCo (the “SpinCo Board”) has approved this Agreement, the Merger Agreement and each of the Ancillary Agreements (to the extent SpinCo is a party thereto).
K.The board of directors of flyExclusive has approved this Agreement and the Merger Agreement.
L.The Parties and flyExclusive desire to set forth the principal corporate transactions required to effect the Separation and the Distribution, and certain other agreements relating to the relationship of Jet.AI and SpinCo and their respective Subsidiaries following the Distribution.
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained in this Agreement, the Parties and flyExclusive hereby agree as follows:

(i)the Assets set forth on Schedule 2.1(a)(i)1;
(ii)all Contracts set forth on Schedule 2.1(a)(ii) (the “SpinCo Contracts”);

(b)In connection with the Contribution and Transfer of the SpinCo Assets to SpinCo, and pursuant to this Agreement or the applicable Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments, SpinCo shall assume, as of immediately before the Distribution Time, and shall pay, perform and discharge when due the following obligations and liabilities arising out of or relating to the SpinCo Business and the SpinCo Assets (the “SpinCo Liabilities”):
(i)all liabilities and obligations under the SpinCo Contracts to be discharged or performed following the Distribution Time, but only to the extent that such liabilities and obligations do not relate to any failure to perform, improper performance, warranty, or other breach, default, or violation by Jet.AI on or prior to the Contribution; and
(ii)all liabilities and obligations under each SpinCo Permit to be discharged or performed following the Distribution Time, but only to the extent that such liabilities and obligations do not relate to any failure to perform, improper performance, warranty, or other breach, default, or violation by Jet.AI on or prior to the Contribution.
(c)Other than the SpinCo Liabilities, SpinCo does not assume any Liabilities of Jet.AI, any member of the Jet.AI Group, or any Affiliate of Jet.AI or any member of the Jet.AI Group (collectively, the “Jet.AI Retained Liabilities”), including (a) liabilities arising out of the Jet.AI Retained Assets, and (b) liabilities for Taxes of the Jet.AI Group (or any Affiliate of the Jet.AI Group) and any liabilities for Taxes (i) of the Jet.AI Group for any Tax Period or (ii) with respect to ownership and operation of the SpinCo Business, the ownership of the SpinCo Assets or the SpinCo Liabilities for any Pre-Closing Period.
(d)Consents. The Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Consents required to Transfer any SpinCo Assets as contemplated by this Agreement.
2.2Non-Transferable Assets. Nothing in this Agreement shall be determined to Transfer to SpinCo any Contract or other asset that would otherwise be included in the SpinCo Assets if an attempted Transfer (a) without the consent of any Person would constitute a breach or default of such Contract or asset or create a termination right under such Contract, and such Person does not give its consent, or (b) would otherwise be unlawful, ineffective or would materially impair SpinCo’s rights under the Contract or asset in question so that SpinCo would in effect not acquire the benefit of such rights (each a “Non-Transferable Asset”). With respect to each such Non-Transferable Asset, (i) Jet.AI will cooperate in any reasonable and lawful arrangements designed to provide to SpinCo, and its successors, all of the benefits, economic and otherwise, of such Non-Transferable Asset (including promptly remitting to SpinCo any revenue received by Jet.AI on account of any such Non-Transferable Asset related to the Post-Closing Period), (ii) Jet.AI will not terminate, alter or amend any such Non-Transferable Asset except with SpinCo’s express written consent, and (iii) until such Non-Transferable Asset is Transferred to SpinCo, Jet.AI will use its commercially reasonable efforts to enforce, at the reasonable direction and for the account, at the sole expense, of SpinCo, any right of Jet.AI arising under any such Non-Transferable Asset against any counterparty thereto or other Person (including the right to amend or terminate any such Non-Transferable Asset in accordance with the terms thereof). Jet.AI will provide SpinCo with notice of any claim asserted by any Person against or with respect to any Non-Transferable Asset after the Closing as soon as practicable after
7
becoming aware of any such claim. If any such claim is asserted, SpinCo will have the right to direct the defense of such claim at SpinCo’s sole cost and expense, whether or not litigation, arbitration or other dispute resolution proceedings have been instituted and even if SpinCo is not named as a party to such claim.
2.3Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments. In connection with, and in furtherance of, the Transfer of the SpinCo Assets and the assumption of the SpinCo Liabilities contemplated by this Agreement, the Parties shall execute or cause to be executed, on or after the date hereof by the appropriate member of the Jet.AI Group, any Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments necessary to evidence the valid Transfer to SpinCo of all right, title and interest in and to the SpinCo Assets and the assumption by SpinCo of the SpinCo Liabilities for Transfers and assumptions to be effected pursuant to Delaware Law or the Laws of one of the other states of the United States, in such form as the Parties and flyExclusive shall reasonably agree.
2.4Further Assurances; Ancillary Agreements.
(a)In addition to and without limiting the actions specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement and subject to the limitations expressly set forth in this Agreement, each of the Parties shall cooperate with each other and use (and shall cause its respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates to use) commercially reasonable efforts, at and after the Distribution Time, to take, or to cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or to cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary on its part under applicable Law or contractual obligations to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.
(b)Without limiting the foregoing, at and after the Distribution Time, each Party shall cooperate with the other Party, and without any further consideration, from and after the Distribution Time, to execute and deliver, or use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be executed and delivered, all instruments, including instruments of Transfer or title, and to make all filings with, and to obtain all Consents or Governmental Approvals, any permit, license, Contract, indenture or other instrument (including any Consents or Governmental Approvals), and to take all such other actions as such Party may reasonably be requested to take by any other Party from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, in order to effectuate the provisions and purposes of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the Transfer of the SpinCo Assets and the assumption of the SpinCo Liabilities and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Without limiting the foregoing, Jet.AI, at its sole cost and expense and at the reasonable request of SpinCo, will take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to vest in SpinCo such title and such rights as possessed by any member of the Jet.AI Group to the SpinCo Assets under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, free and clear of any Security Interest.
2.5Consideration. In exchange for the Contribution, SpinCo agrees, on or prior to the Distribution Date, to issue to Jet.AI a number of newly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of SpinCo Stock as is necessary to effect the Distribution and such that immediately following the Distribution Jet.AI will hold none of the outstanding shares of SpinCo Stock.

This Agreement, and all claims, disputes, controversies or causes of action (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement (including any schedule or exhibit hereto) or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim, dispute, controversy or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. Each of the Parties and flyExclusive agrees that any Action related to this agreement shall be brought exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if under applicable Law, exclusive jurisdiction over such matter is vested in the federal courts, any federal court in the State of Delaware and any appellate court from any thereof (the “Chosen Courts”).

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any Action in a Chosen Court as provided above may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law, and each party further agrees to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts for the enforcement or execution of any such judgment.
6.16Specific Performance. From and after the Distribution Time, in the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, the Parties and flyExclusive agree that flyExclusive and

the Party or Parties to this Agreement or such Ancillary Agreement who are or are to be thereby aggrieved shall have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief of its or their rights under this Agreement or such Ancillary Agreement, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative. The Parties and flyExclusive agree that, from and after the Distribution Time, the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any Indemnifiable Loss, that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is hereby waived, and that any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are hereby waived.
6.17Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The Parties and flyExclusive shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
6.18Interpretation. The Parties and flyExclusive have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the Party or flyExclusive, as the case may be, drafting or causing any instrument to be drafted.
6.19No Waiver. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Party, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Ancillary Agreements shall operate as a waiver hereof or thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
