OMNIBUS EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN
PSU AGREEMENT 

THIS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated _________________, 20___ (the “Date of Grant”), between International Money Express, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Robert Lisy (“Grantee”), is made pursuant and subject to the provisions of the Company’s 2020 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), a copy of which has been made available to Grantee. All terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given them in Exhibit I, or if such term is not defined in Exhibit I, the Plan. 

1.Award.  Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and subject further to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company hereby grants Grantee [___________] Performance Shares (the “Target Award”).  Each Performance Share granted hereunder (“PSU”) represents the right to receive (i) one share of Stock for each PSU that is vested as of the Vesting Date (as defined below), and (ii) notional dividend equivalents described in Section 5, if any, each in accordance with the terms of and subject to adjustment as provided in this Agreement and the Plan.  Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the grant of the PSUs in this Agreement satisfy the obligations of the Company and its Affiliates under Sections 2.04 and 2.05 of the employment agreement between Grantee and Intermex Holdings, Inc., an Affiliate of the Company effective January 1, 2021 (the “Employment Agreement”).
2.Vesting.
(a)General.  Subject to the achievement of the performance goals set forth in Exhibit I, and except as otherwise set forth in Sections 2(c), 2(d), 2(e) and 2(f) herein, the PSUs granted hereby shall vest on the Vesting Date, provided that Grantee has remained in continuous Service (as defined below) through the Vesting Date.  The calculation of the number of PSUs, if any, that may vest on the Vesting Date is specified in Exhibit I and is based upon performance goals achieved during the Performance Period.  If the Company does not achieve the minimum threshold performance goals (as set forth in Exhibit I) during the Performance Period, the PSUs granted or otherwise eligible to vest hereunder shall be forfeited as of the date of such determination.  The number of PSUs that vest on the Vesting Date shall be rounded up to the nearest whole PSU.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in Sections 2(c), 2(d), 2(e) and 2(f), or as otherwise determined by the Committee, if Grantee’s Service terminates for any reason at any time prior to the Vesting Date, all of the PSUs shall be automatically forfeited upon such termination of Service and neither the Company nor any Affiliate shall have any further obligation to Grantee under this Agreement. 
(b)Committee Determinations Final.  All determinations of whether performance goals have been achieved and the number of PSUs earned by Grantee, including any adjustment to be made, shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion.  Following completion of the Performance Period (generally during the first fiscal quarter following the end of the Performance Period), the Committee will review and certify (i) whether, and to what extent, the performance goals for the Performance Period have been achieved, and (ii) the number of PSUs that are eligible to vest upon the Vesting Date, if any.  Such certification shall be final, conclusive and binding on Grantee, and on all other persons, to the maximum extent permitted by law.
(c)Grantee’s Death or Disability.  If Grantee dies or becomes “disabled” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(C)(i) or (ii) of the Code (“Disabled” or a “Disability”) prior to the cessation of Grantee’s employment or provision of services to the Company or its Affiliate (“Service”) and during the Performance Period, then PSUs equal to 100% of the Target Award shall vest on the date of such death or Disability (as applicable).  If Grantee dies or becomes Disabled prior to the cessation of Grantee’s Service following the Performance Period but prior to the Vesting Date, all of the outstanding PSUs eligible to vest based on the performance achieved during the Performance Period, as certified by the Committee, shall vest as of the date of such death or Disability (as applicable).  
(d)Termination of Service by the Company or its Affiliate Without Cause.  If Grantee’s Service terminates by action of the Company or its Affiliate without Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement) during the first twelve (12) months of the Performance Period, all PSUs granted hereunder shall be automatically forfeited upon such Service termination.  If Grantee’s Service terminates by action of the Company or its Affiliate without Cause after the first twelve (12) months of the Performance Period, then a pro rata portion of the PSUs, determined by multiplying the payout percentage certified by the Committee for the full Performance Period by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of whole months between the first day of the Performance Period and the date of Grantee’s termination of Service, and the 

denominator of which is the number of months from the first day of the Performance Period to the Vesting Date, shall be eligible to vest as of the date of such Service termination based on attainment of performance goals through the Performance Period.  Any PSUs that are not eligible to vest shall be forfeited.  
(e)Termination of Service by Grantee for Retirement.  If Grantee’s Service terminates due to Grantee’s resignation for Retirement (as defined in the Employment Agreement), then Grantee shall be eligible to vest in PSUs as determined under this Agreement as though his Service continued through the Vesting Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, without limiting any party’s rights or obligations, all theretofore unsettled PSUs shall be forfeited immediately upon Grantee’s breach of his obligations under Section 5 of the Employment Agreement.
(f)Change of Control.
(i)If a Change of Control occurs during the first twelve (12) months of the Performance Period, 100% of the Target Award PSUs shall convert to time-vested Stock Units (such converted PSUs, “RSUs”) and all such RSUs shall, subject to continued Service through the Vesting Date, vest on the Vesting Date and be settled at the same time the original PSUs would have been settled in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement. Any PSUs that are not eligible to vest as of the Change of Control shall be forfeited. 
(ii)If a Change of Control occurs after the first twelve (12) months of the Performance Period but before the Vesting Date, all PSUs eligible to vest based on performance goals achieved in the most recently completed fiscal year(s) as of the date of such Change of Control, as certified by the Committee, shall convert to time-vested RSUs and all such RSUs shall, subject to continued Service through the Vesting Date, vest on the Vesting Date and be settled at the same time the original PSUs would have been settled in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement. Any PSUs that are not eligible to vest as of the Change of Control shall be forfeited.
(iii)Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in Section 2(e) to the contrary, if a Change of Control that qualifies as a “change in control event” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A3(i)(5), (a “409A Change of Control”) occurs and, at any time prior to the second (2nd) anniversary of the 409A Change of Control, Grantee’s Service terminates due to Grantee’s death or disability, by action of the Company or its Affiliate without Cause or due to Grantee’s Retirement, all time-vested RSUs shall become immediately vested upon such Service termination.
(iv)Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii), if a Change of Control occurs and the surviving entity does not assume and continue the PSUs, then the PSUs shall become fully vested immediately prior to the Change of Control based on the performance assumptions described in clauses (i) and (ii) above.
(v)All references to PSUs herein shall include the RSUs into which PSUs may be converted.
3.Payment of PSUs (Settlement).
(a)Payment in respect of the PSUs eligible to vest for the Performance Period (i.e., the settlement of such PSUs) shall be made in shares of Stock that shall be issued to Grantee as soon as practicable (and in any event within thirty (30) days) following the Vesting Date, or, if earlier, (a) the date of Grantee’s death or Disability, as applicable, while in continuous Service or (b) if a 409A Change of Control occurs and Grantee’s Service terminates prior to the second (2nd) anniversary of the 409A Change of Control, the date of such termination of Service.  
(b)Certificates or evidence of book-entry shares representing the Stock issued upon settlement of PSUs pursuant to this Section 3 will be delivered to or otherwise made available to Grantee (or, at the discretion of Grantee, jointly in the names of Grantee and Grantee’s spouse) or, in the case of Grantee’s death, to Grantee’s beneficiary or, if none is identified in the records of the Company, Grantee’s spouse or, if none, Grantee’s estate. It is intended that delivery of shares of Stock under this Agreement will comply with all applicable laws (including, the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), and the applicable requirements of any securities exchange or similar entity.  
(c)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) to the extent Grantee breaches any restrictive covenants under an agreement Grantee entered into with the Company or any of its Affiliates, including without limitation 
2

those set forth in Section 5 of the Employment Agreement, the PSUs may be immediately forfeited to the extent not yet settled and (ii) the PSUs are subject to forfeiture and any Stock issued hereunder subject to clawback in accordance with Section 21(g) of the Plan.  
4.Transferability.  The PSUs subject to this Award or the rights relating thereto may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by Grantee, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and upon any such transfer by will or the laws of descent and distribution, the transferee shall hold such PSUs subject to all of the terms and conditions that were applicable to Grantee immediately prior to such transfer.  After such PSUs vest and are settled in accordance with this Agreement, no sale or disposition of such shares of Stock shall be made in the absence of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to such shares unless an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that such sale or disposition will not constitute a violation of the Securities Act or any other applicable securities laws is first obtained or an exemption from such registration pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or otherwise is available.
5.Rights as Shareholder; Dividend Equivalents.  Grantee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to the PSUs unless and until the PSUs are settled by delivery of Stock in accordance with Section 3(b) of this Agreement.  As of any date that the Company pays an ordinary cash dividend on its shares of Stock, the Company will increase the number of PSUs hereunder (i.e., by increasing the Target Award) by the number of shares of Stock that represent an amount equal to the per share value of dividend paid by the Company on its shares of Stock (if paid in cash or shares) multiplied by the number of target PSUs held by Grantee as of the related dividend payment record date.  Any such additional PSUs shall be subject to the same vesting, forfeiture, payment, termination and other terms, conditions and restrictions as the original PSUs to which they relate.  No additional PSUs shall be granted with respect to any PSUs which, as of the record date, have either been paid or terminated.
6.Change in Capital Structure.  In accordance with Section 5(d) of the Plan, the terms of this Agreement, including the number of shares of Stock in respect of the PSUs shall be adjusted as the Administrator determines is equitably required in the event the Company effects one or more stock dividends, stock splits, subdivisions or consolidations of shares or other similar changes in capitalization described in Section 5(d) of the Plan.
7.Tax Liability and Withholding.
(a)Grantee understands that when the PSUs are settled in accordance with Section 4, Grantee will be obligated to recognize income, for Federal, state and local income tax purposes, as applicable, in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the share of Stock as of such date, and Grantee is responsible for all tax obligations that arise in connection with the PSUs.  Notwithstanding any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains Grantee’s responsibility and the Company (i) makes no representation or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with the grant or vesting of the PSUs, the delivery of Stock underlying the PSUs, or the subsequent sale of any shares of the Stock underlying the PSUs; and (ii) does not commit to structure the PSUs or the delivery of Stock underlying the PSUs to reduce or eliminate  Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items.
(b)Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, unless Grantee has delivered an amount necessary to satisfy the Tax-Related Items as of the settlement date for the PSUs, Grantee agrees to the following methods of satisfying the Tax-Related Items on behalf of Grantee in connection with the PSUs and the delivery of Stock underlying the PSUs, in the discretion of the Company: (i) through the automatic withholding of a sufficient number of shares of Stock that would otherwise be delivered to Grantee, applying procedures approved by the Administrator, such withheld shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of settlement that shall not exceed the minimum amount of the Tax-Related Items, rounded up for any partial share of Stock that would be withheld to satisfy such obligation (or such other amount as the Administrator determines will not result in additional compensation expense for financial accounting purposes under applicable financial accounting principles); (ii) through the deduction from any other payment otherwise due to Grantee at the time of exercise; or (iii) a combination of any or all of the foregoing.
(c)Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, Grantee may satisfy the tax withholding obligation by delivery of cash or by surrendering shares deliverable in settlement of the PSU or by delivering shares of Stock owned by Grantee (having in any case, an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the amount of the Tax-Related Items).

9.No Right to Continued Service.  Neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall confer upon Grantee any right to be retained in any position, as an employee, consultant or director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.  Further, nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall be construed to limit the discretion of the Company to terminate Grantee’s employment at any time, with or without Cause.
10.Compliance with Law.  The grant and settlement of the PSUs shall be subject to compliance by the Company and Grantee with all applicable requirements of federal and state securities laws and with all applicable requirements of any stock exchange on which the Company’s shares of Stock may be listed. No shares of Stock shall be issued in settlement of the PSUs unless and until any then applicable requirements of state or federal laws and regulatory agencies have been fully complied with to the satisfaction of the Company and its counsel.

Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein, this Agreement will be binding upon Grantee and Grantee’s beneficiaries, executors, administrators and the person(s) to whom this Agreement may be transferred by will or the laws of descent or distribution.
14.Severability.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of the Plan or this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, and each provision of the Plan and this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent permitted by law.

The grant of the PSUs in this Agreement does not create any contractual right or other right to receive any Grants in the future. Future Grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company. Any amendment, modification, or termination of the Plan shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of Grantee’s Service to the Company.
16.Amendment.  The Administrator has the right to amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or cancel the PSUs, prospectively or retroactively; provided, that, no such amendment shall adversely affect Grantee’s material rights under this Agreement without Grantee’s consent.  
17.No Impact on Other Benefits.  The value of Grantee’s PSUs or the Stock underlying the PSUs is not part of his or her normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, retirement, welfare, insurance or similar employee benefit.
18.Section 409A.  This Agreement is intended to comply with section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) or an exemption thereunder in accordance with Section 21(b) of the Plan and shall be construed and interpreted, including any ambiguities herein, in a manner that is consistent with the requirements for avoiding additional taxes or penalties under Section 409A Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement comply with Section 409A and in no event shall the Company be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by Grantee on account of non-compliance with Section 409A.

“separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A, then to the extent necessary to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, such settlement will be delayed until the earlier of: (a) the first day of the month following the date that is six months following Grantee’s separation from service and (b) Grantee’s death. If the PSUs constitute nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A, references in this Agreement to a termination of employment or cessation of Service or the like shall mean a “separation from service” under Section 409A.

THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated _______________, 20____ (the “Date of Grant”), between International Money Express, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Robert Lisy (the “Grantee”), is made pursuant and subject to the provisions of the Company’s 2020 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), a copy of which has been made available to the Grantee. All terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.

1.         Award. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and subject further to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company hereby grants the Grantee [______] shares of Stock, subject to the restrictions and conditions set forth in this Agreement.  References in this Agreement to “Restricted Shares” shall mean the shares of Stock granted hereby and any cash, securities, rights or property distributed in respect thereof or issued in exchange therefor (which shall be subject to the same restrictions and provisions as such Restricted Shares).  The services to be provided by the Grantee are the consideration for the Restricted Shares.  

2.    Acceptance of the Award.  By signing below, the Grantee accepts the Restricted Shares and agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions hereof and the Plan.  The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the grant of the Restricted Shares in this Agreement satisfies the obligations of the Company and its Affiliates under Sections 2.03 and 2.05 of the Employment Agreement between the Grantee and Intermex Holdings, Inc., an Affiliate of the Company, effective January 1, 2021 (the “Employment Agreement”).

3.         Vesting.  Until vested, the Restricted Shares and any right or interests therein are not transferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  The Restricted Shares shall vest according to the following provisions:

(a)          Normal Vesting.  25% of the Restricted Shares shall vest on each of the first four (4) anniversaries of the Date of Grant, such that all of the Restricted Shares shall be vested on the fourth anniversary of the Date of Grant, subject to Sections 3(b), 3(c), and 3(d) hereof.  If any Restricted Shares in respect of a partial share of Stock would vest on any date, the total number of Restricted Shares vesting on such date shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share of Stock, calculated on a cumulative basis.

(b)    Vesting upon Death or Disability.  If the Grantee ceases to be employed by or provide services to the Company or any of its subsidiaries due to death or Disability (as defined in the Employment Agreement), the unvested portion of the Restricted Shares shall become immediately vested upon the Grantee’s termination or employment or service.

(c)    Retirement.  If the Grantee ceases to be employed by or provide services to the Company or any of its Affiliates because the Grantee resigns for Retirement (as defined in the Employment Agreement), then the Restricted Shares shall continue to vest and be paid out in accordance with Section 3(a) or 3(b), as applicable, as though the Grantee continues to provide services to the Company or any of its Affiliates, subject to Section 4 hereof.

(d)    Change of Control Termination.  Notwithstanding Section 3(a) to the contrary, if a Change of Control occurs, and, at any time prior to the second (2nd) anniversary of the Change of Control, the Company or its Affiliate terminates the Grantee’s employment with or service to the Company, as applicable, without Cause (as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement) or the Grantee resigns for Retirement, the unvested portion of the Restricted Stock shall become immediately vested upon such termination of employment or service.

4.    Forfeiture.  No portion of the Restricted Shares underlying this Agreement shall vest after, and any unvested portion of the Restricted Shares shall be forfeited on, the date on which the Grantee ceases to provide any services to the Company or any of its Affiliates (whether as an employee, director, or consultant), unless the Grantee ceases to provide services to the Company or any of its Affiliates due to death, disability, or Retirement.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and without limiting any party’s rights or obligations, in the event of the Grantee’s Retirement, if the Grantee breaches his obligations under Section 5 of the Employment Agreement at any time following his Retirement, all Restricted Shares shall be forfeited immediately upon such breach.

5.         Delivery of Stock.  Delivery of shares of Stock under this Agreement will comply with all applicable laws (including the requirements of the Securities Act), and the applicable requirements of any securities exchange or similar entity.  The Company shall cause the Restricted Stock to either (i) be issued and a stock certificate or certificates representing the Restricted Stock to be registered in your name, or (ii) held in book entry form promptly upon acknowledgement and acceptance of this Agreement.

7.         Transferability. The shares of Stock subject to this Agreement may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered before they vest in accordance with Section 3. After this Stock Award vests in accordance with Section 3, no sale or disposition of such shares shall be made in the absence of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to such shares unless an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that such sale or disposition will not constitute a violation of the Securities Act or any other applicable securities laws is first obtained.

(c)    Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, the Grantee may satisfy the tax withholding obligation by delivery of cash, or by delivering shares of Stock owned by the Grantee (having in any case, an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of vesting equal to the amount of the Tax-Related Items).

10.        Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Plan as in effect on the Date of Grant and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of the Plan shall govern. All references herein to the Plan mean the Plan as in effect on the date hereof.

11.    No Right to Continued Service.

19.    No Impact on Other Benefits. The value of the Grantee’s Restricted Shares is not part of his or her normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, retirement, welfare, insurance or similar employee benefit.

20.    Section 409A.  The parties recognize that although the Restricted Shares are not intended to be subject to Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”), certain provisions of this Agreement may be affected by Section 409A and agree to negotiate in good faith to amend this Agreement with respect to any changes that the Board reasonably determines are necessary or advisable to cause the Restricted Shares to comply with or otherwise be exempt from Section 409A.  Any ambiguities in this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner intended to comply with, or to cause the Restricted Shares to be exempt from, Section 409A.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations that the payments 

and benefits provided under this Agreement comply with Section 409A and in no event shall the Company be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by the Grantee on account of non-compliance with Section 409A. If the Restricted Shares constitute nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A, references in this Agreement to a termination of employment or cessation of service or the like shall mean a “separation from service” under Section 409A.

21.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. Counterpart signature pages to this Agreement transmitted by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail in portable document format (.pdf), or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document, will have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing an original signature.

22.        Grantee Bound by Plan. The Grantee hereby acknowledges that a copy of the Plan has been made available to him or her and agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions thereof. The terms and conditions of the Plan are incorporated into this Agreement by reference. 

23.        Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflict of law principles.

24.     Acceptance. The Grantee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and this Agreement. The Grantee has read and understands the terms and provisions thereof, and accepts the Restricted Shares subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement. The Grantee acknowledges that there may be adverse tax consequences upon grant or vesting of the Restricted Shares and that the Grantee should consult a tax advisor prior to such vesting.
