Exhibit 10.4
TRANSITION AGREEMENT

    This Transition Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into on July 21,
2020 (the “Effective Date”), by and between GP Strategies Corporation, a
Delaware Corporation (the “Company”), and Scott N. Greenberg (“Executive,” and
Executive and the Company collectively, the “Parties”).

    WHEREAS, Executive transitioned from the role of Chief Executive Officer of
the Company to Senior Advisor to the Company effective June 9, 2020;

    WHEREAS, Executive also serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the
Company (the “Board”);

    WHEREAS, Executive and the Company have mutually agreed that Executive shall
continue to serve as Senior Advisor to the Company until the third anniversary
of the Effective Date (the “End Date”), subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement;

    WHEREAS, Executive and the Company are party to that certain Employment
Agreement, dated as of July 1, 1999, as amended through the date hereof (the
“Employment Agreement”); and

    WHEREAS, Executive and the Company desire to enter into this Agreement to
set forth the terms and conditions applicable to Executive’s employment with the
Company on and after the Effective Date.

    NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements
contained herein, the adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
Executive and the Company hereby agree as follows:

1.Employment. The Company agrees to continue to employ Executive, and Executive
agrees to continue to be employed by the Company, in accordance with the terms
and conditions hereof, for the period commencing on the Effective Date and
ending on the End Date, subject to earlier termination in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4. Executive shall be an employee at will and this
Agreement shall not constitute a guarantee of employment. Each of the Parties
acknowledges and agrees that either Party may terminate Executive’s employment
at any time, for any reason, subject to the provisions of Section 5. The period
commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the first to occur of the End
Date or the effective date of the termination of Executive’s employment in
accordance with Section 4 is hereinafter referred to as the “Employment Period.”
By executing this Agreement, Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that
neither Executive’s transition from Chief Executive Officer of the Company to
Senior Advisor to the Company, nor his entering into this Agreement (or any of
the terms and conditions contained herein), will give Executive grounds to
terminate Executive’s employment with the Company for “Good Reason” (as defined
in the Employment Agreement).

2.Position, Duties and Place of Employment.

a)Position. During the Employment Period, Executive shall serve as Senior
Advisor to the Company, reporting to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
Other than his position as a director on the Board, Executive shall resign from
all other positions that he holds with the Company and its subsidiaries and
affiliates, as well as the board of directors (and any committees thereof) of
any of the Company’s subsidiaries and affiliates, on the date requested by the
Company (which date need not be the same for all positions); provided, however,
Executive will be deemed to have resigned from
1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

all such positions as of his Date of Termination (as defined below) if he is
still serving in any such position as of such date. The Company shall reimburse
or indemnify Executive for any costs and expenses Executive incurs in connection
with any such service or Executive’s resignation therefrom. Executive shall
promptly execute any documentation that the Company shall reasonably request to
reflect such resignations. During the Employment Period, Executive shall
continue to serve on the Board, subject to his reelection to the Board by the
Company’s shareholders at the end of each Board term. During the Employment
Period, the Company shall cause Executive to be nominated for reelection to the
Board at the expiration of each Board term. For the avoidance of doubt,
Executive shall not receive any compensation for his service as a director on
the Board during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the
earlier of (i) the End Date and (ii) the date on which the Company terminates
Executive’s employment without Cause pursuant to Section 4(b).

b)Duties. During the Employment Period, Executive shall provide advisory
services to the Board and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and assist
with various projects, including, without limitation, asset disposals, other
corporate transactions and engagement in the finance function of the Company,
among other responsibilities over time, as reasonably determined by the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company or the Board and to the extent such advisory
services and other assistance are consistent with Executive’s role as Senior
Advisor to the Company. Executive hereby agrees to make himself reasonably
available during the normal business hours of the Company to perform such
services (subject to vacation, illness or other approved absences).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, each of the Parties acknowledges and
agrees that Executive shall not render services to the Company during any
12-month period during the Employment Period at a level that exceeds 20% of the
average level of services performed by Executive for the Company over the
36-month period immediately preceding the Effective Date. Executive hereby
agrees that he will perform his services to the Company in all material respects
diligently, in good faith and in the reasonable best interests of the Company.
When providing services to the Company, Executive shall comply in all material
respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and with the known
policies and procedures of the Company (provided such policies and procedures
are consistent with applicable law). The Parties acknowledge and agree that,
effective as of the Effective Date, Executive shall have incurred a “separation
from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)) from the Company.

c)Place of Employment. During the Employment Period, Executive may determine, in
his discretion, the location(s) at which he performs the duties set forth in
Section 2(b); provided, however, that (i) Executive agrees to make himself
reasonably available for meetings and reasonable business travel to the
Company’s offices in Columbia, Maryland or elsewhere in connection with the
performance of his duties hereunder, as may be requested by the Chief Executive
Officer of the Company or the Board, subject to applicable stay at home/shelter
in place orders and other travel, movement, and gathering restrictions related
to COVID-19; and (ii) the Company agrees to (A) use commercially reasonable
efforts to schedule virtual meetings (in lieu of physical meetings) and/or
permit Executive to participate virtually in such meetings; (B) provide
reasonable advance notice to Executive of such meetings and business travel; and
(C) limit business travel only to the extent necessary for Executive to perform
the advisory services. The Company shall provide Executive with appropriate
administrative support during the Employment Period, consistent with that
provided to other senior executives of the Company, in order to allow Executive
to perform his duties hereunder.
3.Compensation and Other Benefits.

a)Annual Cash Payments. During the Employment Period, the Company shall pay
Executive a cash amount equal to $560,000 per annum, payable in accordance with
the normal payroll
2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

procedures of the Company in effect from time to time (but no less frequently
than in monthly installments); provided, however, that all such cash payments
otherwise scheduled to be paid with respect to the six months following the
Effective Date shall be accumulated and paid, as adjusted for interest (as
described in Section 7(b)), in a single lump sum on the first normal payroll
date following the six-month anniversary of the Effective Date. During the
Employment Period, Executive shall not be eligible to earn an annual bonus.

b)Equity Compensation.

i.Outstanding Awards. Executive and the Company hereby acknowledge and agree
that the following equity awards granted to Executive under the Company’s 2011
Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2011 Plan”), shall be cancelled as of the
Effective Date: (A) the 32,284 performance-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”)
granted to Executive on April 20, 2018; and (B) the 55,277 performance-based
RSUs granted to Executive on May 15, 2019 (collectively, the “PRSUs”). For the
avoidance of doubt, effective as of the Effective Date, Executive shall have no
rights with respect to the PRSUs. The time-based RSU award that was granted to
Executive under the 2011 Plan on April 1, 2020 (the “2020 Grant”) shall remain
outstanding and eligible to vest in accordance with its terms, including
treatment upon a termination of service or a Sale of the Company (as defined in
the Company’s 2018 Amended Long-Term Incentive Program) as set forth in the
underlying award agreement and in Section 5 of this Agreement, whichever is more
favorable to Executive.

ii.New Award. Executive shall be granted an award of RSUs under the 2011 Plan as
soon as practicable (and no later than 30 days) following the date hereof (the
“New Award”). The New Award shall have a grant date value equal to $1,500,000,
based on the closing price of a share of the Company’s common stock on the
Effective Date. The New Award shall be eligible to vest as follows: (A)
one-third of the New Award (the “First Tranche”) shall vest 100% on the first
anniversary of the Effective Date; (B) one-third of the New Award (the “Second
Tranche”) shall vest if and when there is a 25% increase in the per share price
of the Company’s common stock (measured based on the 20-trading day volume
weighted average price (“VWAP”) per share as displayed under the heading
“Bloomberg VWAP” on the Company’s Bloomberg page) from the closing price of the
Company’s common stock on the Effective Date, provided, except as otherwise set
forth herein, that the Second Tranche shall be forfeited if such increase is not
achieved on or prior to the third anniversary of the Effective Date; and (C)
one-third of the New Award (the “Third Tranche”) shall vest if and when there is
a 50% increase in the per share price of the Company’s common stock (measured
based on the 20-trading day VWAP per share as displayed under the heading
“Bloomberg VWAP” on the Company’s Bloomberg page) from the closing price of the
Company’s common stock on the Effective Date, provided, except as otherwise set
forth herein, that the Third Tranche shall be forfeited if such increase is not
achieved on or prior to the third anniversary of the Effective Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon a Sale of the Company, the New Award shall
become 100% vested. Except as provided below in Section 5, the vesting of the
New Award (or any portion thereof) is in all cases subject to Executive’s
continued employment with the Company until the applicable vesting date.
Executive shall be permitted, at Executive’s discretion, to pay all withholdings
and other taxes with respect to the New Award (and the 2020 Grant) through a
“net” issuance whereby the Company shall withhold shares that otherwise
3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

would be issued to Executive to pay such withholdings and other taxes. The New
Award shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the 2011 Plan and the
underlying award agreement, which award agreement shall be consistent with the
terms set forth herein. Executive and the Company hereby acknowledge and agree
that no new equity awards shall be granted to Executive during the Employment
Period, other than the New Award.

c)Employee Benefits. During the Employment Period, Executive shall remain
entitled to participate in the employee benefit plans and programs offered by
the Company as of the Effective Date to its senior executives (e.g., 401(k)
plan, health and welfare benefits, life and disability insurance, vacation,
automobile allowance, etc.), on the same terms as are applicable to active
senior executives, subject to the terms and conditions of such plans and
programs; provided, however, that if Executive is not permitted to participate
during such time in any such plan or program, the Company shall provide
Executive with substantially comparable alternative coverage and benefits during
the Employment Period, at the same cost to Executive as is applicable to active
senior executives.

d)Expenses. The Company shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable expenses
incurred by him in connection with his employment hereunder in accordance with
the written policies and guidelines established by the Company.

e)Tax Withholding. The Company may withhold from any compensation payable to
Executive hereunder such federal, state or local taxes as are required to be
withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation, and may withhold for
other lawful, normal deductions for benefits as otherwise agreed by the Parties.

4.Termination of Employment. The Employment Period shall end on the End Date or,
if earlier, when it is terminated in accordance with this Section 4.

a)Termination by the Company for Cause. The Company may terminate Executive’s
employment at any time for Cause. For purpose of this Agreement, the term
“Cause” shall mean: (i) Executive’s act or failure to act amounting to gross
negligence or willful misconduct to the material detriment of the Company; (ii)
Executive’s willful breach of any material obligation under the restrictive
covenants set forth in Sections 7, 8 and 9 of the Employment Agreement, after
written notice from the Company and failure to cure such circumstances, if
curable, within 30 days thereafter; and (iii) Executive’s willful breach of any
material term of this Agreement, after written notice from the Company and
failure to cure such circumstances, if curable, within 30 days thereafter.

b)Termination by the Company without Cause. The Company may terminate
Executive’s employment at any time without Cause. The Company hereby agrees to
provide Executive with no less than 60 days’ prior written notice of the
effective date of termination of Executive’s employment without Cause; provided,
however, that Executive, in his sole and absolute discretion, may waive the
requirement for prior notice of termination of Executive’s employment without
Cause or decrease the notice period.

c)Termination by Executive for Good Reason. Executive may terminate Executive’s
employment with the Company at any time for Good Reason. For purposes of this
Agreement, the term Good Reason shall mean the occurrence of any of the
following events or circumstances without Executive’s prior written consent: (i)
the Company’s failure to make any payments or provide any benefits to which
Executive may be entitled; (ii) the Company (A) requiring Executive to provide
services other than those set forth above in Section 2(b) or (B) failing to
comply
4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

with any material term of this Agreement, and (iii) Executive no longer serving
on the Board other than on account of Executive’s voluntary resignation or
failure to be elected to the Board by the Company’s shareholders after
nomination by the Company. In order for a termination of employment for Good
Reason to be effective, (A) the Company must receive a Notice of Termination (as
defined in Section 4(g)) from Executive within 60 days following the occurrence
of the event claimed to give rise to the right to resign for Good Reason, (B)
the Company must fail to cure the event constituting Good Reason within 30 days
after receipt of the Notice of Termination, and (C) Executive must terminate
Executive’s employment in writing within 60 days following the expiration of
such cure period.

d)Termination by Executive without Good Reason. Executive may terminate
Executive’s employment with the Company without Good reason at any time by
voluntary resignation. Executive hereby agrees to provide the Company with no
less than 60 days’ prior written notice of the effective date of Executive’s
resignation; provided, however, that the Company, in its sole and absolute
discretion, may waive the requirement for prior notice of Executive’s
resignation or decrease the notice period.

e)Death. Executive’s employment shall terminate automatically upon the death of
Executive.

f)Illness. Executive may terminate his employment with the Company if
Executive’s health should become impaired to an extent that makes his continued
performance of his duties hereunder hazardous to his physical or mental health
or his life; provided, that Executive shall have furnished the Company with a
written statement from a qualified doctor to such effect; and provided, further,
that, at the Company’s request, Executive shall submit to an examination by a
doctor selected by the Company and such doctor shall have concurred in the
conclusion of Executive’s doctor.

g)Disability. If, as a result of Executive’s incapacity due to physical or
mental illness, Executive shall have been absent from his duties hereunder for
90 days or more in any rolling period of six consecutive months, and within 30
days after a Notice of Termination is given by the Company shall not have
returned to the performance of his duties hereunder on a full-time basis, the
Company may terminate Executive’s employment hereunder.

h)Notice of Termination. Any termination of Executive’s employment by the
Company or by Executive (other than termination due to Executive’s death) shall
be communicated by a Notice of Termination to the other Party. For purposes of
this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a written notice which
shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon,
shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to
provide a basis for termination of Executive’s employment under the provision so
indicated, and shall specify the date of termination if such date is other than
the date of receipt of such notice.

i)Date of Termination. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Date of
Termination” shall mean (i) if Executive’s employment is terminated by the
Company for Cause, the date on which Executive receives the Notice of
Termination, unless a later date is mutually agreed; provided, however, that if
Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause pursuant to
Sections 4(a)(ii) or 4(a)(iii), then the Date of Termination shall be the date
on which the Company gives notice that Executive has failed to cure the failure
included in its demand, if curable, which notice can be given no earlier than
the expiration of the 30 day cure period set forth in Sections 4(a)(ii) or
4(a)(iii), as applicable, with Executive having failed to cure the event
constituting Cause; (ii) if Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company
without Cause pursuant to Section 4(b), the 60th day
5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

following Executive’s receipt of the Notice of Termination, unless Executive
waives or reduces such period as provided in Section 4(b); (iii) if Executive’s
employment is terminated by Executive for Good Reason, the date Executive
terminates Executive’s employment in writing as set forth in Section 4(c),
unless a later date is mutually agreed; provided, however, that the Date of
Termination must occur within 60 days following the expiration of the 30 day
cure period set forth in Section 4(c), with the Company having failed to cure
the event constituting Good Reason; (iv) if Executive’s employment is terminated
by Executive other than for Good Reason pursuant to Section 4(d), the 60th day
following the Company’s receipt of the Notice of Termination, unless the Company
waives or reduces such period as provided in Section 4(d); (v) if Executive’s
employment is terminated by reason of death, the date of death; (vi) if
Executive’s employment is terminated by Executive as a result of his illness
pursuant to Section 4(f), the date on which the Company receives the Notice of
Termination, unless a later date is mutually agreed; provided, however, that if
the Company requests that Executive be examined by a doctor selected by the
Company, as contemplated by Section 4(f), then the Date of Termination shall be
the date on which such doctor concurs in the conclusion of Executive’s doctor,
unless a later date is mutually agreed; and (vii) if Executive’s employment is
terminated due to Executive’s disability pursuant to Section 4(g), 30 days after
Notice of Termination is given (provided that Executive shall not have returned
to the performance of his duties on a full-time basis during such 30 day
period).

j)Resignation from Board. Upon termination of Executive’s employment for any
reason, Executive agrees to resign, effective as of the Date of Termination,
from the Board, unless the Board requests otherwise and Executive agrees.
Executive shall promptly execute any documentation that the Company shall
reasonably request to reflect such resignation.

5.Compensation upon Termination.

a)If Executive’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason,
Executive shall be entitled to receive the following payments and benefits from
the Company: (i) to the extent not already paid or provided, any amounts or
benefits required to be paid or provided as of the Date of Termination or which
Executive is eligible to receive on that date in accordance with the terms of
any plan, program or policy of the Company applicable to Executive; (ii)
continued payment of the annual cash payments set forth in Section 3(a) to
Executive (or, after Executive’s death, to his surviving spouse or to his
estate, if there is no surviving spouse) during the period commencing on the
Date of Termination and ending on (and including) the End Date, payable in in
accordance with the normal payroll procedures of the Company in effect from time
to time (but no less frequently than in monthly installments); and (iii) during
the period commencing on the Date of Termination and ending on (and including)
the End Date, Executive and Executive’s spouse (as applicable) shall remain
entitled to participate in all employee benefit plans and programs in which
Executive was entitled to participate immediately prior to the Date of
Termination (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, equity compensation);
provided, however, that if Executive is not permitted to participate during such
period in any such plan or program, the Company shall provide substantially
comparable alternative coverage and benefits to Executive and Executive’s spouse
(as applicable), other than with respect to the Company’s 401(k) plan, at the
same cost to Executive as is applicable to active senior executives.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive’s employment with the Company
terminates on the End Date, the Company shall have no further obligation to
Executive hereunder except for the payment or provision of the amounts and
benefits set forth in Section 5(a)(i).

b)If Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company
without Cause, by Executive for Good Reason or pursuant to Sections 4(e), 4(f)
or 4(g), then (i) the 2020 Grant, to the extent outstanding and unvested as of
the Date of Termination, shall become fully vested,
6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and (ii) the New Award, to the extent outstanding and unvested as of the Date of
Termination, shall be treated as follows: (A) the First Tranche shall become
100% vested; and (B) the Second Tranche and the Third Tranche shall remain
outstanding and eligible to vest based on achievement of the applicable stock
price increase until the third anniversary of the Effective Date (or, if
earlier, upon a Sale of the Company on or before the third anniversary of the
Effective Date, notwithstanding achievement of the applicable stock price
increase). If the applicable stock price increase is not achieved on or prior to
the third anniversary of the Effective Date, and there is no Sale of the Company
on or before the third anniversary of the Effective Date, then the Second
Tranche and the Third Tranche, as applicable, shall be forfeited immediately
following the End Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the treatment of the 2020
Grant and the New Award set forth in this Section 5(b) is subject to the
execution by Executive (or the personal representative or executor of
Executive’s estate following Executive’s death) of a general release of all
employment-related claims in favor of the Company on or following the Date of
Termination, substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (the
“Release”), and non-revocation of the Release prior to the expiration of the
revocation period contained therein; provided that such conditions are met on or
before the date that is 30 days after the Date of Termination.

6.Restrictive Covenants. Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that Executive
remains bound by Sections 7, 8 and 9 of the Employment Agreement, which shall
remain in full force and effect following the Effective Time. Nothing contained
herein shall prohibit Executive from reporting possible violations of federal
law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity, including but not
limited to the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission,
the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission, any Inspector General, or making other disclosures
protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation.
Executive does not need the prior authorization of the Company to make any such
reports or disclosures and Executive is not required to notify the Company that
Executive has made such reports or disclosures. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contain herein, the Parties acknowledge that, pursuant to 18 USC §
1833(b), Executive may not be held liable under any criminal or civil federal or
state trade secret law for disclosure of a trade secret: (a) made in confidence
to a government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney,
solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of
law or (b) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other
proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Additionally, the Parties
acknowledge that if Executive sues the Company for retaliation based on the
reporting of a suspected violation of law, Executive may disclose a trade secret
to Executive’s attorney and use the trade secret information in the court
proceeding, so long as any document containing the trade secret is filed under
seal and Executive does not disclose the trade secret except pursuant to court
order.

7.Section 409A.

a)Intent to Comply. This Agreement is intended to comply with, or otherwise be
exempt from, Section 409A of the Code and any regulations and Treasury guidance
promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”). If the Company determines in good faith
that any provision of this Agreement would cause Executive to incur an
additional tax, penalty, or interest under Section 409A, the Company and
Executive shall use reasonable efforts to reform such provision, if possible, in
a mutually agreeable fashion to maintain to the maximum extent practicable the
original intent of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of
Section 409A or causing the imposition of such additional tax, penalty, or
interest under Section 409A. The preceding provisions, however, shall not be
construed as a guarantee by the Company of any particular tax effect to
Executive under this Agreement.

7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

b)Six month delay in payments on account of separation from service. Any payment
of “deferred compensation” (as defined under Treasury Regulation Section
1.409A-1(b)(1), after giving effect to the exemptions in Treasury Regulation
Sections 1.409A-1(b)(3) through (b)(12)) that arises under any other provision
of this Agreement, on account of Executive’s separation from service while
Executive is a “specified employee” (as defined under Section 409A), and is
scheduled to be paid or provided within six months after such separation from
service (the aggregate of such scheduled payments is referred to as the “Delayed
Payment”) shall, in lieu thereof, be paid or provided, as adjusted for interest,
within 15 days after the end of the six-month period beginning on the date of
such separation from service or, if earlier, within 15 days after the
appointment of the personal representative or executor of Executive’s estate
following Executive’s death. For purposes of this Agreement, interest shall
accrue at the prime rate of interest published in the northeast edition of The
Wall Street Journal on the date of Executive’s separation from service.

c)Installment payments. For purposes of Section 409A, the right to a series of
installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to a
series of separate payments.

d)Expense reimbursements and in-kind benefits. With respect to any reimbursement
of Executive’s expenses, or any provision of in-kind benefits to Executive, as
specified under this Agreement, such reimbursement of expenses or provision of
in-kind benefits shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) the expenses
eligible for reimbursement or the amount of in-kind benefits provided in one
taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or the
amount of in-kind benefits provided in any other taxable year, except for any
medical reimbursement arrangement providing for the reimbursement of expenses
referred to in Section 105(b) of the Code; (ii) the reimbursement of an eligible
expense shall be made no later than the end of the year after the year in which
such expense was incurred; and (iii) the right to reimbursement or in-kind
benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.
Additionally, if the provision of any benefit to Executive in the six months
following the Effective Date will constitute payment of “deferred compensation”
(as defined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(1)), after giving
effect to any applicable exemptions, that arises under any other provision of
this Agreement or otherwise, on account of Executive’s separation from service
as of the Effective Date, Executive will pay for such benefits during such time
and the Company shall be required to reimburse Executive for the aggregate
amount that would have been paid by the Company during such time in respect of
such benefits, as adjusted for interest, within 15 days after the end of the
six-month period beginning on the Effective Date or, if earlier, within 15 days
after the appointment of the personal representative or executor of Executive’s
estate following Executive’s death.

8.Miscellaneous.

a)Governing Law. This Agreement is a contract made under the laws of the State
of Maryland and for all purposes will be construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of Maryland without regard to conflict of laws principles thereof.

b)Jurisdiction; Venue; Process. A Party bringing any action or proceeding
seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any right arising out of, this
Agreement may bring the action in the courts of the State of Maryland, Howard
County or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District
Court for the District of Maryland. The Company and Executive each consent to
jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts) in any
such action or proceeding and each waives any objection to venue laid therein.

IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY
CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR EXECUTIVE’S EMPLOYMENT WITH THE COMPANY.

d)Amendments. This Agreement may be amended, waived, changed, modified or
discharged only by a writing signed by both of the Parties.

e)Waiver. Any waiver by either Party of a breach of any provision of this
Agreement will not operate as a waiver of any other breach of such provision or
of any breach of any other provision of this Agreement. The failure of a Party
to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on one or more
occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that Party of the right
thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of
this Agreement. Any waiver must be in writing.

f)Assignment and Successors. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the Parties and their respective heirs, legatees, executors,
administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns. Notwithstanding
anything in the foregoing to the contrary, Executive may not assign any of
Executive’s rights or obligations under this Agreement without first obtaining
the written consent of the Company. The Company may assign this Agreement in
connection with a sale of all or substantially all of its business and/or assets
(whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise)
and will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger,
consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or
assets of the Company to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same
manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it
if no such succession had taken place. “Company” means the Company as
hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as
aforesaid that assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law
or otherwise.

g)Severability. The invalidity of any one or more provisions of this Agreement
or any part thereof shall not affect the validity of any other provision of this
Agreement or part thereof; and in the event that one or more provisions

make such provisions enforceable.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

j)Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the
parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all prior written and
oral agreements and understandings between the Company and Executive with
respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, including, without limitation,
the Employment Agreement; provided, however, that Sections 7, 8 and 9 of the
Employment Agreement shall not be superseded by this Agreement and shall remain

and of any nature whatsoever and which the Releasor ever had, now has or

or thing whatsoever from the beginning of the world to the date of this Release
arising directly or indirectly pursuant to or out of the Releasor’s employment
with the Company or the termination of such employment (collectively, “Claims”),
including, without limitation, any Claims (i) arising under any federal, state,
local or other statutes, orders, laws, ordinances, regulations or the like that
relate to the employment relationship and/or worker or workplace protection,
and/or specifically prohibit discrimination based upon age, race, religion,
gender, national origin, disability, sexual orientation or any other unlawful

of 1967, as amended, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the
Civil Rights Act of 1991, as amended, the Civil Rights Acts of 1866 and 1871, as

Maryland Annotated Code, all as amended, and any and all applicable rules and

(ii) arising under or pursuant to any contract, express or implied, written or

damages, including, without limitation, punitive or compensatory damages or for

Release shall not apply to any claim that the Releasor may have for a breach of
Section 5 of the Agreement.
The Releasor agrees not to file, assert or commence any Claims against any
Releasee with any federal, state or local court or any administrative or
regulatory agency or body. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall
constitute a release by the Releasor of a claim to the extent such claim is not
waivable as a matter of applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, nothing herein shall affect any right to file an administrative
charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, subject to the
restriction that if any such charge is filed, the Releasor agrees not to violate
the confidentiality provisions of the Agreement and further agrees and covenants
that should the Releasor or any other person, organization, or other entity
file, charge, claim, sue or cause or permit to be filed any charge with the
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, civil action, suit or legal proceeding
against the Releasees (or any of them) involving any matter occurring at any
time in the past,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the Releasor will not seek or accept any personal relief (including, but not
limited to, a monetary award, recovery, relief or settlement) in such charge,
civil action, suit or proceeding.
The Releasor represents and warrants that there has been no assignment or other
transfer of any interest in any Claim which the Releasor may have against the
Releasees, or any of them, and the Releasor agrees to indemnify and hold the
Releasees, and each of them, harmless from any Claims, or other liability,
demands, damages, costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred by the Releasees,
or any of them, as a result of any person asserting any such assignment or
transfer. It is the intention of the parties that this indemnity does not
require payment as a condition precedent to recovery by the Releasees against
the Releasor under this indemnity.
The Releasor agrees that if the Releasor hereafter commences, joins in, or in
any manner seeks relief through any suit arising out of, based upon, or relating
to any Claim released hereunder, or in any manner asserts against the Releasees,
or any of them, any Claim released hereunder, then the Releasor shall pay to the
Releasees, and each of them, in addition to any other damages caused to the
Releasees thereby, all attorneys’ fees incurred by the Releasees in defending or
otherwise responding to said suit or Claim.
The Releasor hereby waives any right to, and agrees not to, seek reinstatement
of the Releasor’s employment with the Company or any Releasee. The Releasor
acknowledges that the amounts to be paid to the Releasor under Section 5(b) of
the Agreement include benefits, monetary or otherwise, which the Releasor has
not earned or accrued, or to which the Releasor is not already entitled.
The Releasor acknowledges that the Releasor was advised by the Company to
consult with the Releasor’s attorney concerning the waivers contained in this
Release, that the Releasor has consulted with counsel, and that the waivers the
Releasor has made herein are knowing, conscious and with full appreciation that
the Releasor is forever foreclosed from pursuing any of the rights so waived.
The Releasor has a period of 21 days from the date on which a copy of this
Release has been delivered to the Releasor to consider whether to sign it. In
addition, in the event that the Releasor elects to sign and return to GP
Strategies Corporation a copy of this Release, the Releasor has a period of
seven days (the “Revocation Period”) following the date of such return to revoke
this Release, which revocation must be in writing and delivered to GP Strategies
Corporation, 70 Corporate Center, 11000 Broken Land Parkway, Suite 200,
Columbia, MD 21044, Attention: Executive Vice President, General Counsel, and
Secretary, within the Revocation Period. This Release, and the Releasor’s right
to receive the benefits under Section 5(b) of the Agreement, shall not be
effective or enforceable until the expiration of the Revocation Period without
the Releasor’s exercise of the Releasor’s right of revocation.
This Release shall not be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified in any way
except in a writing signed by the Releasor and GP Strategies Corporation.
This Release shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance
with, the laws of the State of Maryland, without reference to its principles of
conflicts of law.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Releasor has caused this Release to be executed as of
