As Interim Executive Chair, you will report directly to the Board and will perform such duties, consistent with the Interim Executive Chair position, as will reasonably be assigned to you by the Board. This is intended to be a temporary position with an expected term of less than 12 months (the “Term”), though this is an at-will appointment and may be terminated sooner or extended, by mutual agreement. During the Term, you will remain a member of the Board, of which you were previously the non-executive Chairman.

You will perform your services hereunder primarily from your home but agree to perform your services from the Company’s offices in Roanoke, Virginia from time to time, in accordance with the needs of the business. You may be required to travel from time to time. You will be eligible for reimbursement of reasonable, necessary expenses incurred by you in connection with the performance of your duties hereunder in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policies and procedures.

During your Term as Interim Executive Chair, you will receive compensation at the rate of $3,083 per month (equivalent to annualized compensation of $37,000) which will be paid in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices. During the Term, you will not be eligible for participation in the Company’s executive bonus program. You will also not be eligible to participate in the Company’s severance plans. Even if you are eligible to participate in the Company’s health and welfare plans in accordance with the terms and eligibility criteria of such plans, you have disclosed that you do not intend to participate in the Company’s health and welfare plans given your existing coverage through other employment or self-employment. Your employment will be subject to the Company’s personnel policies and procedures as they may be interpreted, adopted, revised or deleted from time to time in the Company’s sole discretion, but only to the extent that such policies and procedures are not inconsistent with the terms of this letter.

During the Term, you will not be eligible for compensation (either in the form of cash or equity) under the Company’s non-employee director compensation policy. You have previously been granted one or more equity awards by the Company in connection with your service as a director, which grant(s) shall continue to vest during the Term and which shall continue to be governed in all respects by the terms of the applicable equity agreements, grant notices, and equity plans.

Upon approval by the Board or authorized committee thereof, you will be granted a restricted stock unit (“RSU”) award (the “RSU Award”) with a targeted value as of the grant date of $600,000 under the Company’s 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The actual number of RSUs subject to the RSU Award will be determined by dividing the dollar value set forth above by the closing price on March 22, 2024 of a share of the Company’s common stock. The RSU

The existing indemnification agreement (along with any applicable confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement) between you and the Company will continue to govern your service as Interim Executive Chair. You have disclosed to the Board that you currently serve as a director of each of LSB Industries, Clarivate PLC and BrightView Holdings, and the parties acknowledge that such work does not conflict with or otherwise restrict your ability to become Interim Executive Chair of the Company and fulfill your duties to the Company in such capacity, and you may continue to hold such position during the Term. Nothing in this offer should be construed to interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company and the Company’s stockholders to remove any individual from the Board at any time in accordance with the Company’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws, any applicable agreements and applicable law.

You acknowledge that as a result of your service on the Board and as Interim Executive Chair you have obtained and will obtain confidential information and proprietary information relating to or provided by the Company and its affiliates. During and after the Term, you shall not use for your benefit or disclose confidential information, proprietary information, knowledge or data relating to or provided by the Company and its affiliates and you agree to execute the Company’s standard employee non-disclosure agreement upon the Company’s reasonable request.

To indicate your acceptance of the Company’s offer, please sign and date this letter in the space provided below and return it to me. This letter sets forth the terms of your service as Interim Executive Chair and supersedes any prior representations or agreements on this subject matter, whether written or oral. This letter will be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. This letter may not be modified or amended except by a written agreement, signed by an officer of the Company or an authorized director of the Board and by you.

Luna Innovations Incorporated (the “Company”), pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Company’s 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), hereby awards to Participant Restricted Stock Units for the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock (“RSUs” or “Restricted Stock Units”) set forth below (sometimes referred to as the “Award”). The Award is subject to all of the terms and conditions as set forth in this grant notice (this “Restricted Stock Unit Grant Notice”) and in the Plan and the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (the “Award Agreement”), both of which are attached hereto and incorporated herein in their entirety. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan or the Award Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms in the Award and the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control.



Vesting Schedule:			The Award shall vest as follows: (a) On each three-month anniversary of the Date of Grant during the one-year period following the Date of Grant (each, a “Service Date”), 25% of the RSUs will become eligible to vest (the “Service-Eligible RSUs”), subject to the Participant’s employment with the Company as Interim Executive Chair not being interrupted or terminated (“Executive Chair Service”) as of each applicable Service Date. Except as set forth in (c) below, any RSUs that do not become Service-Eligible RSUs will be forfeited at no cost to the Company in the event of a termination of the Participant’s Executive Chair Service for any reason; provided, that so long as the Participant otherwise remains in Continuous Service (as defined in the Plan), any Service-Eligible RSUs will remain eligible to vest as set forth in (b) below. (b) Any Service-Eligible RSUs shall vest on the one-year anniversary of the Date of Grant, subject to the Participant’s Continuous Service through such date. Except as set forth in (c) below, any Service-Eligible RSUs will be forfeited at no cost to the Company in the event of a termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service for any reason prior thereto. (c) In the event of the Participant’s death or Disability, or in the event of a Change in Control, occurring (i) during the Participant’s Executive Chair Service, the vesting of any unvested RSUs, whether or not Service-Eligible RSUs, shall accelerate in full, or (ii) after the termination of the Participant’s Executive Chair Service but while the Participant remains in Continuous Service, the vesting of any Service-Eligible RSUs shall accelerate in full.

Additional Terms/Acknowledgements: By accepting this Award, Participant acknowledges (i) having received and read this Restricted Stock Unit Grant Notice, the Award Agreement and the Plan and understands and agrees to all of the terms and conditions set forth in these documents, (ii) that the Award is subject to all the provisions of the Plan, the provisions of which are part of the Award, and is further

subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations which may from time to time be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan, (iii) that this Restricted Stock Unit Grant Notice and the Award Agreement may not be modified, amended or revised except as provided in the Plan and (iv) that as of the Date of Grant, this Restricted Stock Unit Grant Notice, the Award Agreement and the Plan set forth the entire understanding between Participant and the Company regarding the acquisition of the Common Stock pursuant to the Award specified above and supersede all prior oral and written agreements, promises and/or representations regarding the terms of this Award with the exception, if applicable, of (A) any compensation recovery policy that is adopted by the Company or compensation recoupment requirement otherwise required by applicable law, and (B) the Company’s stock ownership guidelines.

By accepting this award, Participant also (i) further acknowledges his or her obligation to satisfy any tax withholding obligations imposed on the Company with respect to the Award or vesting of RSUs, or the delivery of the underlying Common Stock, as a condition to the receipt of any shares of Common Stock hereunder, including by requiring a cash payment to the Company by Participant and (ii) consents to receive this Restricted Stock Unit Grant Notice, the Award Agreement, the Plan, the prospectus for the Plan and any other Plan-related documents by electronic delivery and to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company.

Pursuant to the Restricted Stock Unit Grant Notice (the “Grant Notice”) and this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”), Luna Innovations Incorporated (the “Company”) has awarded you (“Participant”) Restricted Stock Units (“Restricted Stock Units” or “RSUs,” sometimes referred to generally as the “Award”) pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Company’s 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) for the number of Restricted Stock Units indicated in the Grant Notice. Capitalized terms not explicitly defined in this Agreement or the Grant Notice shall have the same meanings given to them in the Plan. The terms of your RSUs, in addition to those set forth in the Grant Notice, are as follows.

1.GRANT OF THE AWARD. This Award represents the right to be issued on a future date one (1) share of Common Stock for each Restricted Stock Unit that vests on the applicable vesting date(s) (subject to any adjustment under Section 3 below) as indicated in the Grant Notice. This Award was granted in consideration of your past or expected future services to the Company or its Affiliates.

2.VESTING. Subject to the limitations contained herein, your RSUs will vest, if at all, in accordance with the vesting schedule provided in the Grant Notice, provided that, except as otherwise set forth in the Grant Notice, vesting will cease upon the termination of your Continuous Service. Upon such termination of your Continuous Service, the Restricted Stock Units that were not vested on the date of such termination will be forfeited at no cost to the Company and you will have no further right, title or interest in or to the underlying shares of Common Stock subject to the forfeited RSUs.

3.NUMBER OF SHARES. The number of Restricted Stock Units/shares subject to your Award may be adjusted from time to time for Capitalization Adjustments, as provided in the Plan. Any additional Restricted Stock Units, shares, cash or other property that becomes subject to the Award pursuant to this Section 3, if any, shall be subject, in a manner determined by the Board, to the same forfeiture restrictions, restrictions on transferability, and time and manner of delivery as applicable to the other Restricted Stock Units and shares covered by your Award. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3, no fractional shares or rights for fractional shares of Common Stock shall be created pursuant to this Section 3. Any fraction of a share will be rounded down to the nearest whole share.

5.TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. Prior to the time that shares of Common Stock have been delivered to you, you may not transfer, pledge, sell or otherwise dispose of the RSUs or the shares issuable in respect of your RSUs, except as expressly provided in this Section 5. The restrictions on transfer set forth herein will lapse upon delivery to you of shares in respect of your vested Restricted Stock Units, provided that all transactions in the Company’s securities, including the shares issuable in respect of your RSUs, are subject to the Company’s Insider Trading Policy.

a.Death. Your Award is transferable by will and by the laws of descent and distribution. At your death, vesting of your RSUs will cease (except as otherwise provided in the Grant Notice) and your executor or administrator of your estate shall be entitled to receive, on behalf of your estate, any Common Stock or other consideration that vested but was not issued before your death.

b.Domestic Relations Orders. Upon receiving written permission from the Board or its duly authorized designee, and provided that you and the designated transferee enter into transfer and other agreements required by the Company, you may transfer your RSUs or the shares of Common Stock issued upon vesting of your RSUs pursuant to a domestic relations order or marital settlement agreement that contains the information required by the Company to effectuate the transfer. You are encouraged to discuss the proposed terms of any division of this Award with the Company’s legal department prior to finalizing the domestic relations order or marital settlement agreement to verify that you may make such transfer, and if so, to help ensure the required information is contained within the domestic relations order or marital settlement agreement.

a.The issuance of shares in respect of the Restricted Stock Units is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code and any applicable Treasury Regulations and guidance thereunder (“Section 409A”) and will be construed and administered in such a manner. Subject to the satisfaction of the withholding obligations set forth in this Agreement, in the event one or more Restricted Stock Units vests, the Company shall issue to you one (1) share of Common Stock for each Restricted Stock Unit that vests (subject to any adjustment under Section 3 above) on the first to occur of the following (such date, the “Settlement Date”) or such later date that is not later than December 31 of

i.the Original Issuance Date does not occur (1) during an “open window period” applicable to you, as determined by the Company in accordance with the Company’s then-effective policy on trading in Company securities, or (2) on a date when you are otherwise permitted to sell shares of Common Stock on an established stock exchange or stock market, and

ii.either (1) Withholding Taxes (as defined below) do not apply, or (2) the Company decides, prior to the Original Issuance Date, (A) not to satisfy the Withholding Taxes by withholding shares of Common Stock from the shares otherwise due, on the Original Issuance Date, to you under this Award, and (B) not to permit you to pay your Withholding Taxes in cash,

then the shares that would otherwise be issued to you on the Original Issuance Date will not be delivered on such Original Issuance Date and will instead be delivered on the first business day when you are not prohibited from selling shares of the Company’s Common Stock in the open public market, but in no event later than December 31 of the calendar year in which the Original Issuance Date occurs (that is, the last day of your taxable year in which the Original Issuance Date occurs).

9.EXECUTION OF DOCUMENTS. You hereby acknowledge and agree that the manner selected by the Company by which you indicate your consent to your Grant Notice is also deemed to be your execution of your Grant Notice and of this Agreement. You further agree that such manner of indicating consent may be relied upon as your signature for establishing your execution of any documents to be executed in the future in connection with your Award.

a.Nothing in this Agreement (including, but not limited to, the vesting of your RSUs or the issuance of the shares subject to your RSUs), the Plan or any covenant of good faith and fair dealing that may be found implicit in this Agreement or the Plan shall: (i) confer upon you any right to continue in the employ of, or affiliation with, the Company or an Affiliate; (ii) constitute any promise or commitment by the Company or an Affiliate regarding the fact or nature of future positions, future work assignments, future compensation or any other term or condition of employment or affiliation; (iii) confer any right or benefit under this Agreement or the Plan unless such right or benefit has specifically accrued under the terms of this Agreement or Plan; or (iv) deprive the Company of the right to terminate you at will and without regard to any future vesting opportunity that you may have.

b.The Company has the right to reorganize, sell, spin-out or otherwise restructure one or more of its businesses or Affiliates at any time or from time to time, as it deems appropriate (a “reorganization”). Such a reorganization could result in the termination of your Continuous Service, or the termination of Affiliate status of your employer and the loss of benefits available to you under this Agreement, including but not limited to, the termination of the right to continue vesting in the Award. This Agreement, the Plan, the transactions contemplated hereunder and the vesting schedule set forth herein or any covenant of good faith and fair dealing that may be found implicit in any of them do not constitute an express or implied promise of continued engagement as an employee or consultant for the term of this Agreement, for any period, or at all, and shall not interfere in any way with the Company’s right to conduct a reorganization.

any required withholding from the Common Stock issuable to you and/or otherwise agree to make adequate provision in cash for any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Company or any Affiliate that arise in connection with your Award (the “Withholding Taxes”). Additionally, the Company or any Affiliate may, in its sole discretion, satisfy all or any portion of the Withholding Taxes obligation relating to your RSUs by any of the following means or by a combination of such means: (i) withholding from any compensation otherwise payable to you by the Company; (ii) causing you to tender a cash payment; (iii) permitting or requiring you to enter into a “same day sale” commitment, if applicable, with a broker-dealer that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (a “FINRA Dealer”) whereby you irrevocably elect to sell a portion of the shares to be delivered in connection with your Restricted Stock Units to satisfy the Withholding Taxes and whereby the FINRA Dealer irrevocably commits to forward the proceeds necessary to satisfy the Withholding Taxes directly to the Company and/or its Affiliates; or (iv) withholding shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock issued or otherwise issuable to you in connection with the Award with a Fair Market Value (measured as of the date shares of Common Stock are issued to pursuant to Section 6) equal to the amount of such Withholding Taxes; provided, however, that to the extent necessary to qualify for an exemption from application of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, if applicable, such share withholding procedure will be subject to the express prior approval of the Compensation Committee of the Board.

c.In the event the Company’s obligation to withhold arises prior to the delivery to you of Common Stock or it is determined after the delivery of Common Stock to you that the amount of the Company’s withholding obligation was greater than the amount withheld by the Company, you agree to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any failure by the Company to withhold the proper amount.

12.TAX CONSEQUENCES. The Company has no duty or obligation to minimize the tax consequences to you of this Award and shall not be liable to you for any adverse tax consequences to you arising in connection with this Award. You are hereby advised to consult with your own personal tax, financial and/or legal advisors regarding the tax consequences of this Award and by signing the Grant Notice, you have agreed that you have done so or knowingly and voluntarily declined to do so. You understand that you (and not the Company) shall be responsible for your own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

13.UNSECURED OBLIGATION. Your Award is unfunded, and as a holder of vested RSUs, you shall be considered an unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to the Company’s obligation, if any, to issue shares or other property pursuant to this Agreement. You shall not have voting or any other rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares to be issued pursuant to this Agreement until such shares are issued to you pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement. Upon such issuance, you will obtain full voting and other rights as a stockholder of the Company. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between you and the Company or any other person.

14.NOTICES. Any notice or request required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing to each of the other parties hereto and shall be deemed effectively given on the earlier of (i) the date of personal delivery, including delivery by express courier, or delivery via electronic means, or (ii) the date that is five (5) days after deposit in the United States Post Office (whether or not actually received by the addressee), by registered or certified mail with postage and fees prepaid, addressed at the following addresses, or at such other address(es) as a party may designate by ten (10) days’ advance written notice to each of the other parties hereto:

17.GOVERNING PLAN DOCUMENT. Your Award is subject to all the provisions of the Plan, the provisions of which are hereby made a part of your Award, and is further subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations which may from time to time be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan. Your Award (and any compensation paid or shares issued under your Award) is subject to recoupment in accordance with The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any implementing regulations thereunder (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), any clawback policy adopted by the Company pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act or otherwise and any compensation recovery otherwise required by applicable law. No recovery of compensation under such a clawback policy will be an event giving rise to a right to voluntarily terminate employment upon a resignation for “good reason,” or for a “constructive termination” or any similar term under any plan of or agreement with the Company.

18.EFFECT ON OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS. The value of the RSUs subject to this Agreement or the stock underlying the RSUs upon issuance to you shall not be included as compensation, earnings, salaries, or other similar terms used when calculating benefits under any employee benefit plan (other than the Plan) sponsored by the Company or any Affiliate except as such plan otherwise expressly provides. The Company expressly reserves its rights to amend, modify, or terminate any or all of the employee benefit plans of the Company or any Affiliate.

22.AMENDMENT. This Agreement may not be modified, amended or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by you and by a duly authorized representative of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended solely by the Board by a writing which specifically states that it is amending this Agreement, so long as a copy of such amendment is delivered to you, and provided that, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, no such amendment materially adversely affecting your rights hereunder may be made without your written consent. Without limiting the foregoing, the Board reserves the right to change, by written notice to you, the provisions of this Agreement in any way it may deem necessary or advisable to carry out the purpose of the Award as a result of any change in applicable laws or regulations or any future law, regulation, ruling, or judicial decision, provided that any such change shall be applicable only to rights relating to that portion of the Award which is then subject to restrictions as provided herein.

23.COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 409A OF THE CODE. This Award is intended to comply with Section 409A and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement will be interpreted and administered to be in compliance with Section 409A. If you are a “Specified Employee” (within the meaning set forth in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code) as of the date of your “separation from service” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) and without regard to any alternative definition thereunder), then the issuance of any shares that would otherwise be made upon the date of the separation from service or within the first six (6) months thereafter will not be made on the originally scheduled date(s) and will instead be issued in a lump sum on the date that is six (6) months and one day after the date of the separation from service, with the balance of the shares issued thereafter in accordance with the original vesting and issuance schedule set forth above, but if and only if such delay in the issuance of the shares is necessary to avoid the imposition of adverse taxation on you in respect of the shares under Section 409A of the Code. Each installment of shares that vests is intended to constitute a “separate payment” for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Agreement, none of the Company, its Affiliates, the Board or the Committee will have any obligation to take any action to prevent the assessment of any excise tax or penalty under Section 409A and none of the Company, its Affiliates, the Board or the Committee will have any liability to you for such tax or penalty.
