This letter contains a Settlement Agreement and Release of Claims (“Letter Agreement”) intended to resolve any and all obligations that you and the Company have to each other under a certain employment agreement dated May 1, 2018 (“Paolillo Employment Agreement”) as amended; and any and all disputes arising from your employment and your separation from employment with the Company on mutually agreeable terms as set forth below.  Please review it carefully, and if it is acceptable to you, sign below and submit your entire signed agreement to margaret.mclean@ttec.com.

	1.	Severance Payment: Provided that you sign and return this Separation Agreement, and it thereafter becomes effective as described in Section 13 below, you will receive a severance payment equivalent to eighteen (18) months of your base salary, for a total amount of $712,500.00 (“Severance Salary Payment”), less applicable federal, state, and local taxes and other authorized deductions. Payment shall be payable in equal bi-weekly installments in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll schedule, over the eighteen (18) months following the Separation Date. 

	2.	Other Compensation: 


		a.	Base Pay Through Separation Date.  You will receive payment for any Base Salary, earned through the Separation Date, less applicable taxes and authorized or required withholding deductions.  Such payments will be made in accordance with Section 2 of the Paolillo Employment Agreement.  

​
		b.	Performance Based Equity Through Separation Date. Subject to the other terms of this Separation Agreement, the Company shall permit you to have the benefit of Performance Based Restricted Stock (PRSU) awards that you currently hold and that would vest (is paid out) before March 31, 2023; provided, however, that the Company reserves the right, but shall have no obligation, to ‘cash out’ the value of this to be vested PRSU equity (less customary taxes and withholdings) and, either way, the timing of the vesting or the cash-out shall be as provided in the relevant equity grant agreements.   





	3.	Benefits:  Your current medical, dental, vision and healthcare flexible spending account coverage (to the extent that you have a positive balance in that account as of today’s date) will be continued for twelve (12) months after the Separation Date.  After the Separation Date, you will continue your existing health insurance coverage, if any, pursuant to your rights under federal law (commonly referred to as “COBRA”). As consideration for this Settlement Agreement and Release of Claims and provided this Separation Agreement is signed and becomes effective, the Company will cover that portion of the cost of your COBRA coverage that reflects our then current contribution to your health and wellness benefits for a period of twelve (12) months (“Continuation of Benefits Payment”). You can receive information about COBRA via www.connectyourcare.com/ttec.
