THIS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into by and between Boxabl Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and the Grantee named above, as of the Grant Date noted above, pursuant to the Boxabl Inc. 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

WHEREAS, the Company recognizes that the Grantee’s services are uniquely valuable to the Company and wishes to grant Restricted Stock Units to the Grantee in accordance with the Plan and this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Grantee agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

1. DEFINITIONS. To the extent not specifically defined in this Agreement, all capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.

2. GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and Article 8 of the Plan, the Company grants to the Grantee the number of Restricted Stock Units set forth above.

3. VESTING OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, the RSUs shall be eligible to vest as of the Vesting Date and shall become vested and subject to monetization upon the first to occur of: (i) a time at which the Company tenders for and successfully acquires the RSUs, (ii) the date of the closing of a transaction (or series of transactions) that results in a Change of Control as long as such transaction (or series of transactions) constitutes a “change in control event” as define in Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder; or (iii) the first trading day that is on or after the expiration of the “lock up” period after the effective date of the initial underwritten sale of the Company’s equity securities to the public on an established securities market (collectively, a “Qualifying Transaction”), in each case subject to the Grantee having been continuously employed by the Company from the Grant Date through the consummation of the Qualifying Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Qualifying Transaction occurs prior to the Vesting Date above, the RSUs shall become fully eligible to and shall fully (100%) vest effective immediately prior to and contingent upon the consummation of the Qualifying Transaction, subject to the Grantee having been continuously employed by the Company from the Grant Date through the consummation of the Qualifying Transaction. Further and notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Grantee’s employment by the Company terminates for any reason prior to a Qualifying Transaction, such termination shall result in the immediate forfeiture and cancellation of the RSUs, including RSUs that, after the Vesting Date, have become eligible to vest, which means that the Grantee will not be entitled to any payment pursuant to this Agreement after the date of such termination.

¹Vesting subject to additional terms and conditions set forth herein.

4. PAYMENT FOR RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS. The Restricted Stock Units that vest pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement, if any, will be paid to the Grantee in Stock within fifteen (15) business days after the closing of the Qualifying Transaction; provided that, in its sole discretion, the Board or its duly authorized delegate may elect to settle any vested Restricted Stock Unit in fully vested shares of Stock, cash, or a combination thereof with an aggregate value equal to the value, as of the date on which the closing of the Qualifying Transaction occurs, of the Stock that the Grantee would have received. For the avoidance of doubt, no payment will be made pursuant to this Agreement prior to the closing of a Qualifying Transaction.

5. NO PAYMENT UPON TERMINATION FOR CAUSE FOLLOWING QUALIFYING TRANSACTION. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no payment will be made pursuant to this Agreement if the Grantee’s employment is terminated for Cause after a Qualifying Transaction but prior to the date on which payment is made pursuant to Section 4, above.

6. SECURITIES ACT.

(a) Registration. The Company has the right, but not the obligation, to cause the issuance and sale of the Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement, if any, or the resale thereof, to be registered under the Securities Act.

(b) Condition on Delivery of Stock. The Company shall not be required to deliver any shares of Stock on settlement of this RSU if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, the issuance would violate the Securities Act or any other applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations.

The Grantee understands and agrees that Confidential Information includes information developed by the Grantee in the course of his employment by the Company as if the Company furnished the same Confidential Information to the Grantee in the first instance.

Further, nothing herein will limit Grantee’s right to discuss his employment or report possible violations of law or regulation with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, United States Department of Labor, the National Labor Relations Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or other federal government agency or similar state or local agency or to discuss the terms and conditions of his employment with others to the extent expressly permitted by Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act or to the extent that such disclosure is protected under the applicable provisions of law or regulation, including but not limited to “whistleblower” statutes or other similar provisions that protect such disclosure.

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees not to improperly use or disclose confidential information or trade secrets, if any, of any former employer or any other person to whom ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has an obligation of confidentiality, and Grantee will not bring onto the premises of the Company any unpublished documents or any property belonging to any former employer or any other person to whom ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has an obligation of confidentiality unless consented to in writing by that former employer or person.

1.3 Notice of Immunity Under the Economic Espionage Act of 1996, as amended by the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (“DTSA”). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Exhibit A:

The Grantee understands and acknowledges that his obligations under this Exhibit A with regard to any particular Confidential Information shall commence immediately upon the Grantee first having access to such Confidential Information (whether before or after the Grantee begins employment by the Company) and shall continue during and after his employment by the Company until such time as such Confidential Information has become public knowledge other than as a result of the Grantee’s breach of this Exhibit A or breach by those acting in concert with the Grantee or on the Grantee’s behalf.

For purposes of this Exhibit A, Work Product also includes, but is not limited to, Company Group information, including plans, publications, research, strategies, techniques, agreements, documents, contracts, terms of agreements, negotiations, know-how, computer programs, computer applications, software design, web design, work in process, databases, manuals, results, developments, reports, graphics, drawings, sketches, market studies, formulae, notes, communications, algorithms, product plans, product designs, styles, models, audiovisual programs, inventions, unpublished patent applications, original works of authorship, discoveries, experimental processes, experimental results, specifications, customer information, client information, customer lists, client lists, manufacturing information, marketing information, advertising information, and sales information.

6.2 Work Made for Hire; Assignment. The Grantee acknowledges that, by reason of being employed by the Company at the relevant times, to the extent permitted by law, all of the Work Product consisting of copyrightable subject matter is “work made for hire” as defined in 17 U.S.C. § 101 and such copyrights are therefore owned by the Company. To the extent that the foregoing does not apply, the Grantee hereby irrevocably assigns to the Company, for no additional consideration, the Grantee’s entire right, title, and interest in and to all Work Product and Intellectual Property Rights therein, including the right to sue, counterclaim, and recover for all past, present, and future infringement, misappropriation, or dilution thereof, and all rights corresponding thereto throughout the world. Nothing contained in this Exhibit A shall be construed to reduce or limit the Company’s rights, title, or interest in any Work Product or Intellectual Property Rights so as to be less in any respect than that the Company would have had in the absence of this Exhibit A.

6.3 Further Assurances; Power of Attorney. During and after his employment, the Grantee agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Company to (a) apply for, obtain, perfect, and transfer to the Company the Work Product as well as any and all Intellectual Property Rights in the Work Product in any jurisdiction in the world; and (b) maintain, protect and enforce the same, including, without limitation, giving testimony and executing and delivering to the Company any and all applications, oaths, declarations, affidavits, waivers, assignments, and other documents and instruments as shall be requested by the Company. The Grantee hereby irrevocably grants the Company power of attorney to execute and deliver any such documents on the Grantee’s behalf in his name and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to transfer the Work Product to the Company and further the transfer, prosecution, issuance, and maintenance of all Intellectual Property Rights therein, to the full extent permitted by law, if the Grantee does not promptly cooperate with the Company’s request (without limiting the rights the Company shall have in such circumstances by operation of law). The power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall not be affected by the Grantee’s subsequent incapacity.

6.4 No License. The Grantee understands that this Exhibit A does not, and shall not be construed to, grant the Grantee any license or right of any nature with respect to any Work Product or Intellectual Property Rights or any Confidential Information, materials, software, or other tools made available to the Grantee by the Company.
