(b)          At the First Step Blocker Effective Time, by virtue of the First Step Blocker Mergers and without any action on the part of the Blockers or the Blocker Merger Subs, (i) each share of capital stock of each Blocker Merger Sub shall be converted into a common interest or a share of common stock, as applicable, of the applicable First Step Blocker Surviving Entity and (ii) any Blocker Equity Interests of a Blocker held in treasury or owned by such Blocker immediately prior to the First Step Blocker Effective Time shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto (“Cancelled Blocker Interests”).

(d)           At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Company Merger and without any action on the part of any party hereto or any holder of Company Interests, (i) each Company Common Interest and each Company Preferred Interest, in each case, that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Step Blocker Effective Time (other than any Company Common Interests subject to Company Awards (which shall be respectively subject to Section 3.3) and Company Preferred Interests held by Blocker Sub), shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive (A) a number of shares of Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock that is equal to the Exchange Ratio and (B) the right to receive Earnout Shares to the extent due and issuable pursuant to Section 3.4 and (ii) each Company Preferred Interest held by Blocker Sub shall be converted into a number of Wheels Up Common Units that is in each case equal to the Exchange Ratio (the “Blocker Sub Initial Held Interests”).

(e)          At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Company Merger and without any action on the part of Acquiror or Merger Sub, the equity interests of Merger Sub shall be converted into a number of Wheels Up Common Units (the “Wheels Up Acquiror Initial Held Interests”) equal to (i) the number of issued and outstanding shares of Acquiror Common Stock as of such time (for the avoidance of doubt, after giving effect to the consummation of the PIPE Investment and the Acquiror Share Redemptions), minus (ii) the Blocker Sub Initial Held Interests.

(f)          Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no fractional shares of Acquiror Common Stock shall be issued to any Person in any Merger, with any fractional shares rounded down to the nearest whole share.

Section 3.2.           Exchange Procedures

(a)          Prior to the Closing, Acquiror shall appoint an exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) to act as the agent for the purpose of paying the Distributable Aggregate Merger Consideration to the Company Equityholders (other than the Blockers and Blocker Sub) and the Blocker Owners. At or before the Effective Time, Acquiror shall deposit with the Exchange Agent the number of shares of Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock and Unvested Wheels Up EO Units comprising the Distributable Aggregate Merger Consideration.

(b)          Reasonably promptly after the Effective Time, Acquiror shall send or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, (i) to each Blocker Owner as of immediately prior to the First Step Blocker Effective Time, whose Blocker Equity Interests are to be converted into a right to receive a portion of the Distributable Aggregate Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1(a), a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and the risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper transfer of each such equity interest to the Exchange Agent, and which letter of transmittal will be in customary form and have such other provisions as Acquiror may reasonably specify) for use in such exchange (each, a “Blocker Letter of Transmittal”), and (ii) to each record holder of Company Common Interests and/or Company Preferred Interests as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whose Company Common Interests and/or Company Preferred Interests (as applicable) were converted pursuant to Section 3.1(d) into the right to receive a portion of the Distributable Aggregate Merger Consideration, a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and the risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper transfer of each share to the Exchange Agent, and which letter of transmittal will be in customary form and have such other provisions as Acquiror may reasonably specify) for use in such exchange (each, a “Letter of Transmittal”).

(c)          Each Blocker Owner, and each record holder of Company Common Interests and Company Preferred Interests, in each case that have been converted into the right to receive a portion of the Distributable Aggregate Merger Consideration, pursuant to Section 3.1(a) or Section 3.1(d), respectively, shall be entitled to receive such portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration, upon receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) or, in the case of any Blocker Equity Interests or Company Preferred Interests that are certificated, upon the delivery by the record holder thereof to the Exchange Agent of all certificates for such Blocker Equity Interests or Company Preferred Interests (or a duly completed affidavit of loss (in a customary form reasonably acceptable to the Exchange Agent) with respect to any lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate), together with a duly completed and validly executed Blocker Letter of Transmittal or Letter of Transmittal, as applicable, and such other documents as may reasonably be requested by the Exchange Agent. No interest shall be paid or accrued upon the transfer of any share.

(d)          Following the Second Step Blocker Effective Time or the Effective Time, as the case may be, pending the delivery and surrender to the Exchange Agent of the certificates representing any Blocker Equity Interest or Company Preferred Interest, such certificate(s) shall be deemed for all purposes to evidence the corresponding Blocker Owner’s or Company Equityholder’s right to receive the portion of the Distributable Aggregate Merger Consideration into which the Blocker Equity Interests or Company Preferred Interests formerly represented thereby shall have been converted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(e)          Promptly following the date that is one (1) year after the Effective Time, Acquiror shall instruct the Exchange Agent to deliver to Acquiror all documents in its possession relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Exchange Agent’s duties shall terminate. Thereafter, any portion of the Distributable Aggregate Merger Consideration that remains unclaimed shall be returned to Acquiror, and any Person that was a holder of Blocker Equity Interests or Company Common Interests and/or Company Preferred Interests as of immediately prior to the First Step Blocker Effective Time or Effective Time, respectively, that has not exchanged such Blocker Equity Interests or Company Common Interests and/or Company Preferred Interests for an applicable portion of the Distributable Aggregate Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 3.2 prior to the date that is one (1) year after the Effective Time, may transfer such Blocker Equity Interests to Acquiror, or such Company Common Interests and/or Company Preferred Interests to Acquiror, and (subject to applicable abandoned property, escheat and similar Laws) receive in consideration therefor, and Acquiror shall promptly deliver, such applicable portion of the Distributable Aggregate Merger Consideration without any interest thereupon. None of Acquiror, Merger Sub, Blocker Sub, the Company, the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any of the Distributable Aggregate Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to and in accordance with any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. If any such equity interests shall not have not been transferred immediately prior to such date on which any amounts payable pursuant to this Article III would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority, any such amounts shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Company (in respect of Company Common Interests, Company Preferred Interests and Blocker Equity Interests), free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(a)          Promptly following the Cash Contribution, each Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive, (i) an option relating to shares of Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are in effect with respect to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, including with respect to vesting and termination-related provisions (each, a “Rollover Option”) except that (A) such Rollover Option shall relate to that whole number of shares of Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the number of Company Common Interests subject to such Company Option, multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, and (B) the exercise price per share for each such Rollover Option shall be equal to the exercise price per share of such Company Option in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by the Exchange Ratio (the exercise price per share, as so determined, being rounded up to the nearest full cent); provided, however, that the conversion of the Company Options will be made in a manner consistent with Treasury Regulation Section 1.424-1, such that such conversion will not constitute a “modification” of such Company Options for purposes of Section 409A or Section 424 of the Code.

(b)          As of the Effective Time, each Profits Interest Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into (i) an award of Wheels Up PI Units (a “Rollover Profits Interest Award”) with substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Profits Interest Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, including the same vesting and termination-related provisions, except that such Rollover Profits Interest Award shall relate to a number of Wheels Up PI Units equal to the product of (1) the number of Profits Interests subject to such Profits Interest Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (2) the Exchange Ratio, with the participation threshold (or “hurdle amount”) related to each such Wheels Up PI Unit adjusted to maintain the intrinsic value of the Profits Interest Award immediately prior to the Effective Time (without regard to any rights to receive Wheels Up EO Units under Section 3.3(b)(ii) below) and (ii) a number of Wheels Up EO Units equal to the product of (1) the quotient of (A) the number of Profits Interests subject to such Profits Interest Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (B) the Effective Time Company Fully Diluted Shares, multiplied by (2) 9,000,000, which such Wheels Up EO Units shall be subject to vesting as provided in Section 3.4 and the A&R LLC Agreement and to such other terms and conditions as are in effect with respect to such Profits Interests Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, including with respect to vesting and termination-related provisions. After the Effective Time, each Wheels Up PI Unit that is or becomes fully vested under the applicable Rollover Profits Interest Award and otherwise becomes exchangeable for Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock pursuant to the A&R LLC Agreement, subject to any applicable transfer restrictions, shall be exchangeable for no greater than one (1) share of Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock, based on the intrinsic value of a Wheels Up PI Unit at the time of exchange as provided in the A&R LLC Agreement (for each series of Wheels Up PI Unit). For the avoidance of doubt, MIP LLC shall be the initial record holder of all Wheels Up PI Units and Wheels Up EO Units received pursuant to this Section 3.3(b).

(c)          As of the Effective Time, in respect of each Restricted Interest Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, the corresponding Restricted Interest shall be converted into (i) an award of Wheels Up RI Units (a “Rollover Restricted Interest Award”) with substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Restricted Interest Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, including the same vesting and termination-related provisions, except that such Rollover Restricted Interest Award shall relate to a number of Wheels Up RI Units equal to the product of (1) the number of Restricted Interests subject to such Restricted Interest Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (2) the Exchange Ratio, and (ii) a number of Wheels Up EO Units equal to the product of (1) the quotient of (A) the number of Restricted Interests subject to such Restricted Interest Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (B) the Effective Time Company Fully Diluted Shares, multiplied by (2) 9,000,000, which such Wheels Up EO Units shall be subject to vesting as provided in Section 3.4 and the A&R LLC Agreement and to such other terms and conditions as are in effect with respect to such Restricted Interests Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, including with respect to vesting and termination-related provisions. After the Effective Time, each Wheels Up RI Unit that is or becomes fully vested under the applicable Rollover Restricted Interest Award and otherwise becomes exchangeable for Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock pursuant to the A&R LLC Agreement, subject to any applicable transfer restrictions, shall be exchangeable for one (1) share of Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock, as provided in the A&R LLC Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, MIP RI LLC shall be the initial record holder of all Wheels Up RI Units and Wheels Up EO Units received pursuant to this Section 3.3(c).

(d)         The Company shall take all necessary actions to effect the treatment of Company Options, Profit Interest Awards and Restricted Interest Awards pursuant to Sections 3.3(a), 3.3(b) and 3.3(c) in accordance with the Company Incentive Plans and the applicable award agreements, including obtaining any necessary approvals and consents, and to ensure that no Rollover Option may be exercised, and no Wheels Up PI Unit or Wheels Up RI Unit may be exchanged for a share of Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock, prior to the effective date of an applicable registration on Form S-8 (or other applicable form, including Form S-1 or Form S-4) of Acquiror. The Board of Directors of the Company shall amend the Company Incentive Plans and take all other necessary actions, effective as of immediately prior to the Closing, in order to provide that no new Company Awards will be granted under the Company Incentive Plans or in respect of any equity reserve provided thereunder.

For and in consideration of Acquiror entering into this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each of the Company and the Blockers hereby irrevocably waives any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they have or may have in the future in or to any monies in the Trust Account and agree not to seek recourse against the Trust Account or any funds distributed therefrom as a result of, or arising out of, this Agreement and any negotiations, Contracts or agreements with Acquiror; provided, that (x) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit the right of each the Company or the Blockers to pursue a claim against Acquiror for legal relief against monies or other assets held outside the Trust Account, for specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the consummation of the transactions (including a claim for Acquiror to specifically perform its obligations under this Agreement and cause the disbursement of the balance of the cash remaining in the Trust Account (after giving effect to the Acquiror Share Redemptions) to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Trust Agreement) so long as such claim would not affect Acquiror’s ability to fulfill its obligation to effectuate the Acquiror Share Redemptions, or for fraud and (y) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit any claims that each of the Company or the Blockers may have in the future against Acquiror’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds).
