Exhibit 10.28

Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC Equity Incentive Plan [VIII]

Series [●] Interests

THIS RESTRICTED INTEREST AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of the grant date specified on the signature page hereto (the “Grant Date”), among Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), Wheels Up MIP RI LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“MIP RI LLC”), and the recipient identified on the signature page hereto (“Recipient”). Certain definitions are set forth in Section 8 of this Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined shall have the meaning given thereto in the Plan.

WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Plan, pursuant to which Interests in MIP RI LLC may be awarded to designated recipients from time to time;

WHEREAS, the Recipient is employed by or otherwise provides services as a consultant to the Company or an Affiliate thereof; and

WHEREAS, the Company has determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company to make the award of Restricted Interests provided for herein to the Recipient pursuant to the Plan and the terms set forth herein.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Restricted Interests.

(a) Issuance. Subject to Section 9(q) hereof, MIP RI LLC hereby issues to Recipient the total number of Restricted Interests set forth on the signature page hereto. The purchase price of the Restricted Interests shall be zero dollars.

(b) Operating Agreement. By executing and delivering this Agreement, the Recipient hereby agrees to become a party to, to be bound by, and to comply with the provisions of the MIP RI LLC Operating Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement) in the same manner as if the undersigned were an original signatory thereto. In connection therewith, effective as of the date hereof the undersigned hereby makes the representations and warranties contained in the MIP RI LLC Operating Agreement.

(c) Representations. In connection with the issuance of the Restricted Interests pursuant hereto, Recipient represents and warrants to the Company and MIP RI LLC that:

(i) The Restricted Interests to be issued to Recipient pursuant to this Agreement will be acquired for investment purposes for Recipient’s own account and not with a view to, or intention of, distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act, or any applicable state securities laws, and the Restricted Interests will not be disposed of in contravention of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws;

(ii) Recipient is sophisticated in financial matters and is able to evaluate the risks and benefits of the investment in the Restricted Interests, which investment involves a high degree of risk;

(iii) Recipient is able to bear the economic risk of his, her or its investment in the Restricted Interests for an indefinite period of time because the Restricted Interests have not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available;

(iv) Recipient has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the issuance of the Restricted Interests and has had full access to such other information concerning the Company and MIP RI LLC as he, she or it has requested;

(v) This Agreement and each of the other agreements contemplated hereby and to which Recipient is a party constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Recipient, enforceable in accordance with their terms, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and such other agreements by Recipient does not and will not conflict with, violate or cause a breach of any agreement, contract or instrument to which Recipient is a party or any judgment, order or decree to which Recipient is subject;

(vi) Recipient understands that the valuation of the Restricted Interests reflects MIP RI LLC’s fair appraisal of their worth, but that it remains possible that the IRS may successfully assert that the value of the Restricted Interests on the date hereof exceeds MIP RI LLC’s appraisal and, in such event, any additional value ascribed to the Restricted Interests by such an IRS determination will constitute ordinary income to Recipient and any additional taxes and interest due will be the sole responsibility of Recipient;

(vii) Recipient is not a party to or bound by any employment agreement, noncompetition agreement or confidentiality agreement which conflicts with the obligations set forth in this Agreement; and

(viii) Recipient is a resident of the state set forth on the signature page hereto.

(ix) If Recipient has checked the “accredited investor” box on the signature page hereto or if Recipient is an entity, Recipient qualifies as an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act (a copy of which rule is attached hereto as Annex 1) and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to evaluate the merits and risks of the acquisition of the Restricted Interests and has the capacity to protect his, her or its own interests in connection with such acquisition. Recipient has no reason to anticipate any material change in his, her or its personal financial condition for the foreseeable future.

(d) No Right to Continue Performing Services. As an inducement for the Company to commit to award, and MIP RI LLC to issue, the Restricted Interests to Recipient, and as a condition thereto, Recipient acknowledges and agrees that neither any future issuance of equity of MIP RI LLC or any Affiliate to Recipient nor any provision contained herein or in the MIP RI LLC Operating Agreement shall entitle Recipient to remain in the service of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or affect the right of the Company or any subsidiary, to terminate Recipient’s services at any time for any reason.

(e) Spousal Consent. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, if Recipient is lawfully married and subject to the laws of a community property state, Recipient’s spouse shall execute the consent in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto.

2. Vesting of Restricted Interests.

(a) Vesting. Subject to Section 3 below, the Restricted Interests issued hereunder will vest when both of the following vesting sub-conditions (each, a “Vesting Sub-Condition”) are satisfied as follows:

(i) (A) First Vesting Sub-Condition. The Restricted Interests shall vest with respect to the First Vesting Sub-Condition in four equal annual installments on the dates set forth on the signature page hereto, in each case subject to Recipient’s continued employment or service with the Company (or one of its subsidiaries) at all times from the Grant Date through each such annual vesting date.

(B) First Vesting Sub-Condition Acceleration. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, all Restricted Interests that have not yet become vested with respect to the First Vesting Sub-Condition shall accelerate and vest in full at the time of such Change of Control, if at all times from the Grant Date through the Change of Control, Recipient is performing services for the Company or one of its subsidiaries.

(ii) Second Vesting Sub-Condition. The Restricted Interests shall vest with respect to the Second Vesting Sub-Condition in full upon the first to occur of (A) the consummation of a Change of Control and (B) the later to occur of (1) six months after the consummation of an Initial Public Offering and (2) thirty (30) days after the expiration of any lock-up period applicable to senior management of the Company in connection with an Initial Public Offering.

Restricted Interests which have satisfied both Vesting Sub-Conditions are referred to herein as “Vested Interests,” and all other Restricted Interests are referred to herein as “Unvested Interests.”

3. Termination. In the event Recipient ceases to perform services for the Company or one of its subsidiaries prior to satisfaction of either or both of the Vesting Sub-Conditions, the Restricted Interests will be treated as set forth below.

(a) Termination Without Cause, for Good Reason or due to Death or Disability. In the event that Recipient’s employment or other service relationship is terminated by the Company or one of its subsidiaries without Cause, by Recipient for Good Reason or due to Recipient’s death or Disability, any Restricted Interests that would have become vested with respect to the First Vesting Sub-Condition within twenty-four (24) months following the date of such termination had Recipient remained employed through such period shall accelerate and become vested upon the effective date of such termination (the “Accelerated Interests”), and, to the extent the Second Vesting Sub-Condition has previously been satisfied, shall thereafter be deemed Vested Interests; provided, that, after giving effect to the acceleration set forth in the preceding clause, any Restricted Interests that do not otherwise accelerate and are deemed Unvested Interests will be immediately forfeited by Recipient to the Company at such time. To the extent the Second Vesting Sub-Condition not yet been satisfied as of the effective date of such termination, the Accelerated Interests shall continue to remain outstanding for a period of seven (7) years following termination, and, upon satisfaction of the Second Vesting Sub-Condition at any time during such seven (7)-year period, the Accelerated Interests shall thereafter be deemed Vested Interests. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Second Vesting Sub-Condition is not met within the seven (7)-year period following Recipient’s termination, all Restricted Interests issued hereunder, including the Accelerated Interests, shall automatically and immediately be forfeited for no consideration as of the seventh anniversary of the effective date of Recipient’s termination of employment or other service relationship.

(b) Termination for Cause. In the event that Recipient’s employment or other service relationship is terminated by the Company or one of its subsidiaries for Cause, all Restricted Interests issued hereunder shall automatically and immediately be forfeited for no consideration as of the effective date of such termination, and Recipient shall no longer have any right, title or interest in or to the Restricted Interests.

(c) Other Terminations. In the event that Recipient’s employment or other service relationship terminates for any reason other than those set forth in Sections 3(a) and 3(b) above, no further Restricted Interests granted to Recipient shall become Vested Interests and each Unvested Interest will be immediately forfeited by Recipient to the Company for no consideration; provided, however, that, to the extent the Second Vesting Sub-Condition has not yet been satisfied as of the effective date of such termination, no Unvested Interests shall be forfeited and instead all Restricted Interests issued hereunder shall continue to remain outstanding for a period of seven (7) years following termination, and, upon satisfaction of the Second Vesting Sub-Condition at any time during such seven (7)-year period, the number of Restricted Interests that shall vest and thereafter be deemed Vested Interests shall be equal to the total number of Restricted Interests issued hereunder, multiplied by the Partial Service Factor (with the resulting number being rounded to the nearest whole Restricted Interest, or in the case of 0.5 of a Restricted Interest, up to the next whole Restricted Interest). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Second Vesting Sub-Condition is not met within the seven (7)-year period following Recipient’s termination, the Restricted Interests shall automatically and immediately be forfeited for no consideration as of the seventh anniversary of the effective date of Recipient’s termination of employment or other service relationship.

4. Restrictions on Transfer of Restricted Interests.

(a) Transfer Restrictions Generally. Recipient shall not Transfer any interest in any Unvested Interests. Recipient shall not Transfer any interest in any Vested Interests, except as permitted by the MIP RI LLC Operating Agreement, and in the event of any such Transfer (A) the restrictions herein and in the MIP RI LLC Operating Agreement will continue to be applicable to the Restricted Interests irrespective of such Transfer and (B) any transferee shall be required to execute and deliver to MIP RI LLC an executed joinder agreement to the MIP RI LLC Operating Agreement. Recipient acknowledges that the MIP RI LLC Operating Agreement separately imposes restrictions on the Transfer of the Restricted Interests.

(b) Lockup Provision. Recipient agrees, if requested by the Company and any underwriter engaged by the Company, not to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any securities of the Company or any public successor (including, without limitation, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act) held by him or her for (i) 180 days following the effective date of the relevant registration statement filed under the Securities Act in connection with the Company’s Initial Public Offering or (ii) 90 days following the effective date of the relevant registration statement in connection with any other public offering of the Company’s securities, as the Company and such underwriter shall specify reasonably and in good faith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if: (x) during the last 17 days of the foregoing 180-day period or 90-period, as applicable, the Company issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs; or (y) prior to the expiration of the 180-day period or 90-day period, as applicable, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the period, then the restrictions described above shall continue to apply until the expiration of an 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event. Recipient agrees, if requested by the underwriter engaged by the Company, to execute a separate letter reflecting the agreement set forth in this Section 4(b).

5. Opinion of Counsel for Transfer of Restricted Interests. In addition to the restrictions on transfer in Section 4 hereof and in the MIP RI LLC Operating Agreement, no holder of Restricted Interests may transfer any Restricted Interests (except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act) without first delivering to MIP RI LLC an opinion of counsel (reasonably acceptable in form and substance to the MIP RI LLC) that neither registration nor qualification under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws is required in connection with such Transfer, unless the Company and MIP RI LLC both waive the requirement of an opinion of counsel.

6. Registration. Recipient understands that the Restricted Interests are not currently being registered under the Securities Act by reason of their contemplated issuance in a transaction exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 506 or Rule 701 (or Section 4(a)(2)) thereof. Recipient further agrees that Recipient will not sell or otherwise dispose of the Restricted Interests unless such sale or other disposition has been registered or is exempt from registration under the Securities Act and has been registered or qualified or is exempt from registration or qualification under applicable securities laws of any state.

(b) Severability.

(c) Complete Agreement.

Except as otherwise provided herein, each such other holder of Restricted Interests will succeed to all rights and obligations attributable to Recipient as a holder of Restricted Interests hereunder.

(ii) Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Recipient, MIP RI LLC, the Company and their respective successors and assigns (including subsequent holders of Restricted Interests); provided that the rights and obligations of Recipient under this Agreement shall not be assignable without the written consent of the Company and MIP RI LLC.

(m) Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury of any claim or cause of action in any legal proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions or events contemplated hereby or any course of conduct, course of dealing, statements (whether verbal or written) or actions of any party hereto. The parties hereto each agree that any and all such claims and causes of action shall be tried by a court trial without a jury. Each of the parties hereto further waives any right to seek to consolidate any such legal proceeding in which a jury trial has been waived with any other legal proceeding in which a jury trial cannot or has not been waived.

(n) Clawback. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Plan or in any other agreement to the contrary, any grant, exercise, payment, delivery or transfer made pursuant to this Agreement which is subject to recovery under any law (including, without limitation, the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act), government regulation, stock exchange listing requirement or policy of the Company or any related entity implemented pursuant to any of the foregoing will be subject to such clawbacks or deductions as may be required to be made pursuant to such law, government regulation, stock exchange listing requirement or policy.

Upon the occurrence of any such events, amounts and the provisions of such agreements shall be appropriately adjusted by the Board.

(p) Approval. If Recipient holds any interests in MIP RI LLC that were issued prior to the Grant Date, Recipient hereby consents to the adoption of the Plan.

(q) Effectiveness.
