This Separation Agreement and General Waiver and Release (“Agreement”) is made by and between Fred E. Durham III (“Employee”) and

 WHEREAS, Employee’s last day of work is November 9, 2018; 

WHEREAS, in exchange for Company’s payment of a severance payment, Employee agrees to release Company from any and all claims that
Employee now has or ever had against Company. 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises made herein, Company and Employee
(collectively referred to as “the Parties”) hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Separation from Employment.
Employee’s separation date is November 9, 2018 (“Separation Date”). 
 2. Severance Pay and Benefits.

agrees to provide Employee with the following severance pay and benefits. 
 (a) Company agrees to pay Employee: 

(b) the gross amount of $125,000, less all required deductions, representing twelve (12) months of salary, within fourteen
(14) days of the Effective Date of this Agreement, 
 (c) Employee agrees that in return for this Agreement, he will receive
compensation, i.e., something of value, beyond that which he was already entitled to receive before entering into this Agreement. Employee acknowledges that unless and until this Agreement is executed, and provided it is not revoked as provided
herein, he is not otherwise entitled to receive the above compensation (“Severance Pay”). Employee agrees that the Severance Pay described in paragraph 2(b) constitutes the entire amount of monetary consideration provided to him under this
Agreement and that he is not entitled to any other claimed damage, costs, or attorneys’ fees in connection with the matters encompassed in this Agreement. 

(d) Employee acknowledges and agrees that the offer of Severance Pay is dependent upon execution of this Agreement and that
failure to sign and return this Agreement within twenty-one (21) days will result in the revocation of this offer. Should that day fall on a weekend or holiday where the signing of the agreement would be
impossible, the offer will be extended to the first day of business after the last day the offer was to expire. 
 3. Payment of
Salary; Approved Business Expense Reimbursement. Employee acknowledges and represents that Company has paid employee all wages concededly due from employment with Company, including all salary or other wages, and

Agreement, Company shall reimburse Employee for approved business expenses incurred through November 9, 2018, subject to Employee’s compliance with Company’s policies, procedures, and rules on such expenses and documentation thereof.

release as to the matters released. It is the intention of the parties in executing this Agreement that it shall be effective as a bar to each and every matter released herein and that, should any proceeding be instituted with respect to matters
released herein, this Agreement shall be deemed in full and complete accord, satisfaction and settlement of any such released matter and sufficient basis for its dismissal. This release does not extend to any obligations incurred under this

rights or claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 that may arise after the date of this Agreement is executed are not waived. 

6. No Pending or Future Lawsuits. Except as described below, Employee agrees not to file any lawsuit or bring any cause of
action against Company or any other person or entity referred to herein, in any court or administrative agency, with regard to any dispute, demand, liability or obligation arising out of Employee’s employment with Company or separation
therefrom. Employee further represents that no claims, complaints, charges or other proceedings are pending in any court, administrative agency, commission or other forum relating directly to his employment with Company; however, nothing in this
Agreement precludes Employee from filing a charge or complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) or other federal, state, or local governmental agency. In addition, in spite of this Agreement, the Employee still
retains the right to challenge the knowing and voluntary nature of this Agreement under the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (“OWBPA”) and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”) before a court, the Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission, or any state or local agency permitted to enforce those laws, and this release does not impose any penalty or condition for doing so. The Employee understands, however, that if he successfully pursues a claim against Company
under the OWBPA or the ADEA, Company may seek to set off the amount paid to him for signing the release against any amount he obtains. If Employee unsuccessfully pursues a claim against Company under the OWBPA or the ADEA, then Company may be
entitled to recover its costs and attorneys’ fees to the extent specifically authorized by federal law. 
 7. Violation of the
Agreement. By signing this Agreement, Employee agrees that he will not pursue any causes of action or lawsuits covered by this Release. If the Employee breaks this promise and violates this Agreement, the Employee agrees to pay
Company’s costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that flow from that violation, other than for claims under the OWBPA and the ADEA. Employee also agrees that if he violates any part of this Agreement, he will not be
entitled to the Severance Pay 












 
and Benefits provided by this Agreement and will immediately repay to Company any Severance Pay previously paid to him consistent with federal law and paragraph 6 of this Agreement. Any such
violation will immediately render Company’s obligations and agreements hereunder null and void, but the Employee’s obligations and agreements hereunder shall remain in full force and effect. 

8. Confidential Information. Employee acknowledges and agrees that in the course of his employment with Company, he has had
access to and/or made use of certain confidential information relating to the business activities of Company. Such confidential information includes, but is not limited to, technical information; personnel information; business strategies; financial
results; pricing data; sourcing information, design information, market surveys and research data; and contractual agreements between Company and vendors and other persons or entities, compilations of information and records that are owned by
Company and are regularly used in the operation of Company’s business and other information that is kept confidential by Company. Employee agrees that he will not disclose any such confidential information, directly or indirectly, or use any of
it in any way whatsoever. Employee further represents and agrees that all files, computer programs, records, documents, lists, specifications, and similar items relating to the business activities of Company, including any and all copies, whether
prepared by Employee or otherwise coming into Employee’s possession, custody or control, are property of Company and have been or will be returned immediately by him to Company and that he will not remove from the premises of Company any such
property or information or any electronic or other equipment of any kind. 
 9. Return of Company’s Equipment. Employee

proceeding or hearing conducted by the EEOC or other federal, state, or local agency. 
 11.
Non-Disparagement. Employee agrees not to disparage Company, or any of its officers, directors, or employees to anyone, including, but not limited to, members, customers, vendors, contractors,
dealerships, affiliated entities, or other parties. All inquiries by potential future employers of Employee will be directed to Human Resources. Upon inquiry, Company shall only state the following: Employee’s last position and dates of
employment.
