RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT
INDUCEMENT AWARD AGREEMENT
THIS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT INDUCEMENT AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is made and effective as of the “Grant Date” below, by and between Ondas Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and the below “Participant”.
W I T N E S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant the Participant restricted stock units related to the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share ( the “Stock”) as an inducement to employment with the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) and on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, effective as of the Grant Date, the Company hereby grants to the Participant the right to receive shares of Stock listed below, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions outlined in this Agreement (the “Restricted Stock Units”). Shares of the Company’s Stock shall be issued only upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units and only upon the satisfaction of the terms and conditions set forth herein. These Restricted Stock Units are intended to constitute an “employment inducement award” and to be exempt from shareholder approval requirements under Rule 5635(c)(4) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules, and this Agreement and the terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Units will be interpreted consistent with such intent.

No Stock shall be issued pursuant to the unvested Restricted Stock Units. Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, the Restricted Stock Units shall vest only upon the satisfaction of the vesting requirements set forth below, provided that the Participant is providing Continuous Service on the applicable vesting date:
The Restricted Stock Units shall vest as follows: (i) 33% on one (1) year from the date of grant, and (ii) the remaining 67% in eight (8) equal quarterly installments, provided that the Participant is an employee of or providing other services to the Company, including its subsidiaries, on the applicable vesting dates.
Except as may otherwise be provided in the Participant's employment agreement or other agreement between the Company or its affiliates and the Participant, if the Participant's Continuous Service terminates for any reason or no reason prior to the applicable vesting dates above, any unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be automatically forfeited without payment on such termination date
and neither the Company nor any Affiliate shall have any further obligations to the Participant under this Agreement. In the event that the Participant engages in any Detrimental Activity, all Restricted Stock Units shall be immediately and automatically forfeited.
Except as may otherwise be provided in the Participant's employment agreement or other agreement between the Company or its affiliates and the Participant, in the event of a Change in Control, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide that some or all of the Restricted Stock Units shall be immediately vested upon the consummation of such Change in Control.
"Cause" shall mean a termination of employment or other service due to the Participant’s dishonesty, fraud, insubordination, willful misconduct, refusal to perform services (for any reason other than illness or incapacity) or materially unsatisfactory performance of the Participant’s duties for the Company; provided, however, that if the Participant and the Company or its affiliate have entered into an employment agreement or consulting agreement which defines the term Cause, the term Cause shall be defined in accordance with such agreement. The Committee shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion whether Cause exists for purposes of this Agreement.
"Continuous Service" means that the Participant's service with the Company or an affiliate, whether as an employee, consultant, or director, is not interrupted or terminated. The Participant's Continuous Service shall not be deemed to have terminated merely because of a change in the capacity in which the Participant renders service to the Company or an affiliate as an employee, consultant, or director or a change in the entity for which the Participant renders such service, provided, that, there is no interruption or termination of the Participant's Continuous Service. The Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") or its delegate, in its sole discretion, may determine whether Continuous Service shall be considered interrupted in the case of any leave of absence approved by that party, including sick leave, military leave, or any other personal or family leave of absence.
"Change in Control" shall be deemed to occur upon the occurrence of any of the following: (a) any “person” as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") (other than the Company, any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under any employee benefit plan of the Company, or any company owned, directly or indirectly, by the shareholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of common stock of the Company), is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing thirty percent (30%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities; (b) during any period of two (2) consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board, and any new director (other than a director designated by a person who has entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in paragraph (a), (c), or (d) of this definition) whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company's shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the two-year period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; (c) consummation of a merger, consolidation, reorganization, or other business combination of the Company with any other entity, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; provided, however, that a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no person acquires more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities shall not constitute a Change in Control; or (d) the shareholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company, and such liquidation occurs, or the consummation of the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company's assets other than (x) the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to a person or persons who beneficially own, directly or indirectly, at least fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the Company at the time of the sale or (y) pursuant to a spin-off type transaction, directly or indirectly, of such assets to the shareholders of the Company.
However, to the extent that Section 409A would cause an adverse tax consequence to a Participant using the above definition, the term “Change in Control” shall have the meaning ascribed to the phrase “Change in the Ownership or Effective Control of a Corporation or in the Ownership of a Substantial Portion of the Assets of a Corporation” under 26 C.F.R. 1.409A-3(i)(5), as revised from time to time.
“Detrimental Activity” means any of the following: (a) the disclosure to anyone outside the Company and its affiliates, or the use in other than the Company’s or its affiliates' business, without written authorization from the Company, of any confidential information or proprietary information, relating to the business of the Company and its affiliates, acquired by the Participant prior to a termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service; (b) activity while employed or providing services that is classified by the Company as a basis for a termination for Cause; (c) the Participant’s disparagement, or inducement of others to do so, of the Company, its affiliates, or its past or present officers, directors, employees or services; or (d) any other conduct or act determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, to be injurious, detrimental or prejudicial to the interests of the Company. For purposes of subpart (a) above, the Board or
2
Chief Executive Officer of the Company shall each have authority to provide the Participant with written authorization to engage in the activities contemplated thereby and no other person shall have authority to provide the Participant with such authorization.
3
Upon the happening of any of the events described in subparagraphs (a), (b), (c) or (d) above, the Restricted Stock Units (if outstanding) shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect the events described in such subparagraphs. The Board or the Successor Board shall determine the specific adjustments to be made under this section, including, but not limited to, the effect of any Corporate Transaction and its determination shall be conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units. Except as expressly provided herein, no adjustments shall be made for dividends paid in cash or in property (including without limitation, securities) of the Company prior to any issuance of shares pursuant to the Restricted Stock Units.
