1.           Termination of Employment.

(a)         Generally. The Executive and the Company acknowledge and agree that, except as set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement and Section 5(c) of the Employment Agreement, the Executive shall no longer provide services to the Company or any of its subsidiaries in any capacity from and after the Termination Date, and the Executive does hereby resign, effective as of the close of business on Termination Date, from his employment with the Company and its subsidiaries in all respects, including without limitation from each officer, executive or director position held with the Company and its subsidiaries. In order to evidence and give effect to the Executive’s resignation, the Executive is delivering the resignation letter to the Company attached hereto as Exhibit A simultaneously with the parties’ entry into this Agreement.

(b)         Accrued Payments/Notice Pay. On the next regular payroll date following the Termination Date, the Company shall pay the Executive all of the Executive’s earned but unpaid base wages and accrued vacation and any unreimbursed business expenses, in each case incurred and payable prior to the Termination Date in accordance with Company policy.

(c)         Company Employee Benefits. Following the Termination Date, and except as provided in this Agreement, the Executive shall be entitled to any vested employee benefits under the Company’s employee benefit plans to which the Executive is entitled as a former employee; provided, that the Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Executive, by reason of his resignation, has ceased to be entitled to (x) severance pay or termination benefits under the Employment Agreement or any other severance plan, policy, agreement or arrangement sponsored or maintained by the Company or of its subsidiaries, (y) any future payment of cash-based bonus or other incentive compensation or (z) any future grant of equity-based incentive compensation.

(d)         Continuing Indemnification. Following the Termination Date, the Company will continue to provide the Executive with the indemnification and insurance coverages set forth in Section 8 of the Employment Agreement in accordance with the terms of such Section 8.

(e)         Public Communications of the Resignation and Related Matters. The Company’s public announcement of the Executive’s resignation, and any statement made by the Company or the Executive in response to an inquiry following the Termination Date, shall be in all material respects consistent with the draft disclosures separately provided to the Executive and with respect on which the Executive acknowledges having been provided with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment. If, following the Termination Date, the Executive shall receive (x) any inquiry from the press, a regulator of the Company or any subsidiary, a ratings agency or a significant commercial counterparty known to the Executive or (y) an inquiry calling for a substantial response from any current or former employee of the Company or any subsidiary and as to which the Executive intends to offer a substantial response, the Executive shall, unless prohibited by applicable law, inform the CEO and the General Counsel of the Company of such inquiry and shall reasonably coordinate the Executive’s response to such inquiry with the General Counsel of the Company in advance of any such response.

(f)          Mutual Waiver and Release of Claims. The Executive hereby agrees and acknowledges that, subject to payment of the amounts, provision of benefits and treatment of Equity Awards expressly provided for or referenced in this Agreement, the Executive will have received full payment for all services rendered on behalf of the Company and its subsidiaries.

2.           Continued Services During the Interim Period.

(a)          Interim Period Services. In addition to the reasonable cooperation of the Executive provided by Section 5(c) of the Employment Agreement, which Section 5(c) shall continue to apply following the Termination Date in accordance with its terms, the Executive shall, following the Termination Date and continuing until August 16, 2022 (the “Interim Period”), make himself reasonably available to the Board and to the Company to assist in the matters as to which the Executive’s services would be useful to the Company, including as to transitions matters (the “Interim Period Services”). Unless otherwise requested by the Company, the Interim Period Services shall be provided remotely and on a non-exclusive basis, and shall reasonably take into account other personal and business activities of the Executive during the Interim Period. In no event shall the Interim Period Services provided by the Executive cause the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company to cease to be a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder.

(b)         Interim Period Compensation. In consideration of the Interim Period Services, the Company shall pay the Executive a cash fee of $250,000 in three equal monthly installments of $83,333 to be paid within the first 10 business days in June, July and August 2022. The Executive or the Company may elect to no longer provide or receive the Interim Period Services at any time and for any reason (or no reason) by providing the other party with at least ten (10) days’ advance written notice of such election; provided however that, in the event that the Company elects to no longer provide the Interim Period Services, the Company shall pay the Executive the remaining portion of the cash fee upon the effective date of such election.

3.           Treatment of Equity Awards.

4.             Modification of Restrictive Covenants. The Executive and the Company hereby agree that the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 7 of the Employment Agreement, in each case as modified hereby (the “Modified Restrictive Covenants”), shall continue to apply following the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Executive’s resignation in accordance with the terms of the Employment Agreement, as modified hereby. The Company and the Executive agree that such restrictive covenants are hereby modified as follows:

For purposes of this Agreement, (x) the “No-Hire Individuals” shall consist of all the individuals who, as of the date of this Agreement, are designated by the Company as obligated to file statements of the change in beneficial ownership of Company equity securities under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; (y) the phrase “without good cause” with respect to a No-Hire Individual shall have the meaning given in the employment agreement to which such No-Hire Individual is a party with the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, or if the No-Hire Individual is not a party to an employment agreement with the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, as defined in the Company’s 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan; and (z) the Executive shall be conclusively presumed to have assisted a third party in hiring or otherwise engaging the services of a No-Hire Individual if the No-Hire Individual commences to provide services to such third party at a time when the Executive is also providing services to such third party (excluding, for this purpose, where such third party engages the services of a large, pre-established consulting firm with a broad client base to which the No-Hire Individual is providing services).

(iii)            The nondisparagement provision set forth in Section 7(d) of the Employment Agreement shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms, except that the matters as to which the Executive shall not make or publish any disparaging statement (whether written or oral) shall include the material commercial agreements to which the Company or its subsidiaries are parties where such statements could reasonably be expected to become generally publicly available. The foregoing shall also not be violated by truthful statements concerning material commercial agreements made in response to legal process, required governmental testimony or filings, or administrative or arbitral proceedings (including, without limitation, depositions in connection with such proceedings).

5.             Cash Payment and Continued Health Benefits. In consideration of the Executive’s covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall provide the Executive with the following:

(i)                 A cash payment of $4,000,000, to be paid in a lump sum not later than the second payroll date following the date of this Agreement;

(ii)              Continued medical coverage for the Executive (and, if covered immediately prior to the Termination Date, his dependents) at the same level in effect as of immediately prior to the Termination Date for 24 months following the Termination Date at the same premium rate that active employees pay for such level of coverage; and

(iii)            Continued provision of the same life insurance coverage as in effect with respect to the Executive (and, if covered immediately prior to the Termination Date, his dependents) immediately prior to the Termination Date for a period of 24 months following the Termination Date.

6.            Company Property. To the extent that the Executive has not already done so as of the date of this Agreement, and other than as may be reasonably necessary for the provision of the Interim Services, promptly following the Termination Date, the Executive shall return to the Company (1) all property of the Company and its subsidiaries in the Executive’s possession, including without limitation memoranda, photographs, records, reports, manuals, drawings, blueprints, prototypes, notes, documents, drawings, specifications, software, media and other materials, including any copies thereof (including electronically recorded copies) and (2) any keys, equipment (such as blackberries, cell phones and computers), identification and credit cards belonging to the Company and its subsidiaries. Promptly following the end of the Interim Services Period, the Executive shall return all property retained by the Executive for the purposes of providing the Interim Services.

7.            Notices. Notices under this Agreement will be provided in accordance with Section 11 of the Employment Agreement, which is incorporated herein as if set forth fully herein.

8.            Withholding. All payments and benefits under this Agreement shall be subject to all required withholdings of Federal, state and local taxes applicable thereto.

9.            Further Assurances. Each of the Company and the Executive agrees with the other party hereto that it and he will cooperate with such other party and will execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such other instruments and documents, and will take such other actions, as such other party may reasonably request from time to time to effectuate the provisions and purposes of this Agreement.

10.          Expense Reimbursement. The Company shall reimburse the Executive his attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement in an aggregate amount equal to $25,000.

11.          Exclusive Payments. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the payments, benefits and Equity Award treatment set forth in this Agreement are in full and final satisfaction of all of the Executive’s rights to notice pay, accrued and future bonuses, long-term compensation, severance pay, termination benefits and any other rights and entitlements from the Company and any of its subsidiaries.

12.          Miscellaneous. The Executive agrees that the payments and benefits to be paid and provided under this Agreement shall be in full and final satisfaction of the obligations of the Company and each of its subsidiaries in respect of the Executive’s termination of employment from the Company and its subsidiaries, including without limitation under the Employment Agreement. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Executive that it has been duly authorized to enter into this Agreement. Section 15 of the Employment Agreement (relating to governing law and fora for dispute resolution) is incorporated herein as if set forth fully herein. This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument signed by the Company and the Executive. This Agreement shall constitute the entire agreement between the Company and the Executive with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, heirs, executors, administrators (in the case of the Executive) and assigns. In the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be or become invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby. The failure of a party to enforce the breach of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement shall not be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the Agreement or any of its provisions, nor shall it affect in any way the obligation of the other party to fully perform such other party’s obligations hereunder. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and delivered electronically (including by .pdf file), each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
