INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of the date of grant on the cover page hereof (the “Date of Grant”) by and between SKYX Platforms Corp., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), and the recipient named on the cover page hereto (the “Participant”).
1. Grant of Stock Option. Subject to and upon the terms, conditions, and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and in the Company’s 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) hereby grants to the Participant as of the Date of Grant a stock option (the “Option”) to purchase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”) shown on the cover page hereof (the “Option Shares”). The Option may be exercised from time to time in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The price per Option Share at which the Option Shares may be purchased pursuant to the Option shall be as set forth on the cover page hereof (the “Option Price”). This Option is intended to be an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of that term under Section 422 of the Code, then this Agreement shall be construed in a manner that will enable the Option to be so qualified.
2. Term of Option. The term of the Option shall commence on the Date of Grant and, unless earlier terminated in accordance with Section 6 of this Agreement, shall expire [five (5) years] from the Date of Grant.
3. Right to Exercise. Subject to the expiration or earlier termination of the Option in accordance with its terms, the Option shall vest and become exercisable as set forth on the cover page hereof. To the extent the Option is vested and exercisable, it may be exercised in whole or in part. In no event shall the Participant be entitled to acquire a fraction of one Option Share pursuant to the Option. The Participant shall be entitled to the privileges of ownership with respect to Option Shares purchased and delivered to him/her upon the complete and valid exercise of all or part of the Option and payment of the applicable Option Price therefor.
4. Option Nontransferable. The Option granted hereby shall be neither transferable nor assignable by the Participant except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant, or in the event of his or her legal incapacity, by his or her guardian or legal representative acting on behalf of the Participant in a fiduciary capacity under state law and court supervision.
5. Notice of Exercise; Payment. To the extent then vested and exercisable, the Option may be exercised by written notice (on the form attached hereto as Attachment 1 or such other form acceptable to the Company) to the Company stating the number of Option Shares for which the Option is being exercised and the intended manner of payment. The date of such notice shall be the exercise date. Payment equal to the aggregate Option Price of the Option Shares for which the Option is being exercised shall be tendered in full with the notice of exercise to the Company in cash in the form of currency or check or other cash equivalent acceptable to the Company. [With the consent of the Committee, t][T]he Participant may also tender the Option Price by (a) the actual or constructive transfer to the Company of nonforfeitable, nonrestricted shares of Common Stock, (b) by any combination of the foregoing methods of payment, including a partial tender in cash and a partial tender in nonforfeitable, nonrestricted shares of Common Stock, or (c) any other method approved or accepted by the Committee in its sole discretion, including, if the Committee so determines, a cashless exercise that complies with all applicable laws. Nonforfeitable, nonrestricted shares of Common Stock that are transferred by the Participant in payment of all or any part of the Option Price shall be valued on the basis of their Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock, as determined by the Committee. As a further condition precedent to the exercise of the Option, the Participant shall execute any documents which the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, deem necessary or advisable.

6. Termination of Agreement.
(a) This Agreement and the portion of the Option that has not yet been exercised shall be forfeited and terminate automatically, without further action or notice, on the earlier of (i) three months after the Participant ceases to be an employee of the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason, except as otherwise set forth in the Plan and (ii) [five (5) years] from the Date of Grant.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Participant’s employment is terminated for cause (as determined by the Committee), this Agreement shall terminate at the time of such termination and the Participant shall forfeit all rights under this Agreement without further action or notice, including his or her rights with respect to any unvested portion of the Option and any portion of the Option vested but not yet exercised, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement.
(c) In the event of the termination of the Participant’s employment for any reason other than that set forth in Section 6(b) above, only the portion of the Option vested as of the date of such termination pursuant to Section 3 may be exercised. For the purposes of this Agreement, the continuous employment of the Participant with the Company shall not be deemed to have been interrupted, and the Participant shall not be deemed to have ceased to be an employee of the Company, by reason of the transfer of his or her employment among the Company and its Subsidiaries or a leave of absence of not more than thirty (30) days unless otherwise approved by the Committee. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide for the full or partial acceleration of vesting and exercisability of the Option in connection with the termination of Grantee’s employment for any other reason prior to vesting.
7. Compliance with Law. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Option shall not vest or be exercisable if the exercise thereof would result in a violation of any applicable federal or state securities law.
8. Lock-Up Agreement. The Participant agrees that, if requested by the Company in connection with a public offering of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, the Participant will not sell, offer for sale or otherwise dispose of the Option Shares for such period of time as is determined by the Committee; provided that at least a majority of the Company’s directors and officers who hold options, shares of Common Stock or such other securities of the Company at such time are similarly bound.
9. Amendments. Any amendment to the Plan shall be deemed to be an amendment to this Agreement to the extent that the amendment is applicable hereto; provided, however, that no amendment shall adversely affect the rights of the Participant under this Agreement without the Participant’s consent.
10. Severability. In the event that one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be invalidated for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, any provision so invalidated shall be deemed to be separable from the other provisions hereof, and the remaining provisions hereof shall continue to be valid and fully enforceable.
