which is a trade secret, or confidential or proprietary information, of any third party, including, but not limited to, any former employer, any competitor or any client, unless the Company has a right to receive and use such information or

Property shall be the sole and absolute property of the Company and its affiliates. All work performed by the Executive in authoring, composing, inventing, creating, developing or modifying Company Intellectual Property and/or other work product to
which copyright protection may attach during the course of the Executive’s employment with the Company shall be considered “works made for hire” to the extent permitted under applicable copyright law and will be considered the sole
property of the Company. To the extent such works, work product or Company Intellectual Property are not considered “works made for hire,” all right, title, and interest to such works, work product and Company Intellectual Property,

 6 








 (g)    Company Property. All Confidential Information,
Company Intellectual Property, files, records, correspondence, memoranda, notes or other documents (including, without limitation, those in computer-readable form) or property relating or belonging to the Company and affiliates, whether prepared by

Executive (including, without limitation, any copies thereof), promptly upon request by the Company and, in any event, promptly upon termination of the Employment Term. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that he has no expectation of privacy with
respect to the Company’s telecommunications, networking or information processing systems (including, without limitation, stored computer files, email messages and voice messages), and that the Executive’s activity and any files or
messages on or using any of those systems may be monitored at any time without notice. 

(h)    Enforcement. The Executive acknowledges that a breach of his covenants and agreements
contained in this Section 6 would cause irreparable damage to the Company and its affiliates, the exact amount of which would be difficult to ascertain, and that the remedies at law for any such breach or threatened breach would be inadequate.
Accordingly, the Executive agrees that if he materially breaches any of the covenants or agreements contained in this Section 6, in addition to any other remedy which may be available at law or in equity, the Company and affiliates shall be
entitled to: (i) cease or withhold payment to the Executive of any severance payments described in Section 7, for which he otherwise qualifies under such Section 7, and the Executive shall promptly repay to the Company 90% of any such
severance payments he previously received (with the remaining 10% serving as consideration for the Executive’s release of claims described in Section 7(d), (ii) institute and prosecute proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction for
specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief without bond or other security or a showing of irreparable harm or lack of an adequate remedy at law, and (iii) an equitable accounting by any court of competent jurisdiction of all
profits or benefits arising out of such violation. Additionally, upon a material breach by the Executive of this Section 6, the unvested Restricted Stock Units (and any other unvested stock-based awards held by the Executive) shall be
automatically canceled and forfeited without any further action. 
 (i)    Scope of Covenants.
The Company and the Executive further acknowledge that the time, scope, geographic area and other provisions of this Section 6 have been specifically negotiated by sophisticated commercial parties and agree that they consider the restrictions
and covenants contained in this Section 6 to be reasonable and necessary for the protection of the interests of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, but if any such restriction or covenant shall be held by any court of competent
jurisdiction to be void but would be valid if deleted in part or reduced in application, such restriction or covenant shall apply in such jurisdiction with such deletion or modification as may be necessary to make it valid and enforceable. The
restrictions and covenants contained in each paragraph of this Section 6 shall be construed as separate and individual restrictions and covenants and shall each be capable of being reduced in application or severed without prejudice to the
other restrictions and covenants or to the remaining provisions of this Agreement. 

(j)    Enforceability. If any court holds any of the restrictions or covenants contained in this
Section 6 to be unenforceable by reason of their breadth or scope or otherwise, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such determination not bar or in any way affect the right of the Company and its affiliates to the relief provided in
this Section 6 in the courts of any other jurisdiction within the geographic scope of such restrictions and covenants. 

  
 7 








 (k)    Disclosure of Restrictive Covenants. The
Executive agrees to disclose in advance the existence and terms of the restrictions and covenants contained in this Section 6 to any employer or other service recipient by whom the Executive may be employed or retained during the Restricted
Period. 
 (l)    Extension of Restricted Period. If the Executive breaches any non-competition or non-solicitation covenant set forth in this Section 6 in any respect, the Restricted Period will be extended for a period equal to the period that the
Executive was in breach of such covenant, up to a maximum period of one (1) year.

	 	 (v)
	 without action by the Company, the Executive or any other person or entity, immediately upon the
Executive’s death. 


 If the Executive’s employment is terminated for any reason under this

conditions of the applicable plans of the Company, as in place from time to time; and (D) reimbursement for any unreimbursed business expenses incurred by the Executive prior to his date of termination pursuant to Section 5(f) ((A)-(D)

 (b)    Termination by the Company without Cause or by the
Executive for Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment is terminated (A) by the Company without Cause or (B) by the Executive for Good Reason (in either case, other than a termination due to the Executive’s death or
Disability), in addition to the Accrued Amounts, the Executive shall be entitled to receive as severance (subject to Section 7(d)) the amounts set forth in this Section 7(b), provided the Executive executes and does not revoke the Release
as required by Section 7(d). 
 (i)    The Executive shall be entitled to an amount
equal to the product of (A) two times (B) the sum of (a) the Executive’s annual base salary (as described in Section 5(a)) as in effect immediately prior to the date of the Executive’s termination of employment, plus
(b) the Executive’s target annual bonus (as described in Section 5(b)) as in effect immediately prior to the Executive’s termination of employment (the “Separation Pay”), for a period equal to twenty-four
(24) months (the “Severance Period”), payable starting on the sixtieth (60th) day following the date of such termination (but with the first payment being a lump sum payment
covering all payment periods from the date of termination through the date of such first payment), in substantially equal installments in accordance with the Company’s payroll practices during the Severance Period following the date of such
termination, subject to reduction pursuant to the last paragraph of this Section 7(b) and/or Section 6(h); 

(ii)    To the extent performance objectives applicable to the Executive’s annual
bonus in the year of termination (including any objectives applicable to the Company’s targeted budget) are earned as of the end of the relevant bonus period, the Executive shall be entitled to the annual bonus earned for the calendar year of
such termination pursuant to Section 5(b) of this Agreement, pro-rated based on the number of days the Executive was actively employed by the Company during such bonus period, payable at the time such
annual bonus would otherwise be paid in accordance with Section 5(b) of this Agreement; 

(iii)    Continued full participation in the Company’s health and welfare benefit
programs (including full reimbursement for all health, dental and vision expenses, but excluding participation in the Company’s short- or long-term disability plans) for a period of eighteen (18) months following his termination date (for
the avoidance of doubt, this continuation period shall run concurrently with any required COBRA continuation coverage); and 

(iv)    Subject to Section 7(b)(v), if any Restricted Stock Units referenced in
Section 5(c)(ii) remain unvested at the time of such termination, the next installment of the Restricted Stock Units that would have vested on the next scheduled vesting date shall vest as of the date of termination and the balance of any
unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited. Also, if any awards issued to the Executive under the Stock Plan as to which vesting depends upon the satisfaction of one or more performance conditions remain unvested at the time of such
termination, a prorated portion of the performance-vesting awards shall remain outstanding and eligible to vest based on actual performance through the last day of the applicable performance period, based on the number of days during the applicable
performance period that the Executive was employed. Any performance-vesting awards that are earned based on actual performance will vest and settle as provided in the applicable award agreement. 

  
 9 








 (v)    If such termination of the
Executive’s employment by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason occurs within the twelve (12) month period following a Change in Control (as such term is defined in the Stock Plan), (A) any Restricted Stock Units
referenced in Section 5(c)(ii) which are not vested at the time of such termination shall immediately become vested and (B) any other awards granted to the Executive pursuant to the Stock Plan as to which vesting depends upon the
satisfaction of one or more performance conditions and which are not vested at the time of termination shall immediately become vested based on actual performance through the termination date. 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the payment of the Separation Pay shall be contingent on the Executive
acknowledging and certifying by accepting such payments that the Executive has not accepted or obtained any full-time or substantial part-time employment or significant consulting services as of the payment dates. If the Executive accepts full-time
or substantial part-time employment or provides significant consulting services at any time during the Severance Period, the Executive shall provide the Company with prompt written notice thereafter and the Executive agrees that the payment of the
Separation Pay (or the remaining unpaid balance thereof, as applicable) shall be offset by the total compensation the Executive receives (or is entitled to receive) from such full-time or substantial part-time employment or significant consulting
services during the Severance Period. The Executive shall provide such documentation as the Company may reasonably request for purposes of calculating the offset amount.

 or to such other address as shall be furnished in writing by either party to the other party; provided
that such notice or change in address shall be effective only when actually received by the other party. Date of service of any such notices or other communications shall be: (a) the date such notice is personally delivered, (b) three days
after the date of mailing if sent by certified or registered mail, or (c) one business day after date of delivery to the overnight courier if sent by overnight courier. 

9.    Arbitration. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6(h) in connection with equitable
remedies, any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any dispute, claim or controversy concerning the validity, enforceability, breach or termination hereof, if not resolved by the
parties, shall be finally settled by arbitration in accordance with the then-prevailing Employment Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures of the American Arbitration Association, as modified herein (“Rules”). There shall be one
arbitrator who shall be jointly selected by the parties. If the parties have not jointly agreed upon an arbitrator within twenty (20) calendar days of respondent’s receipt of claimant’s notice of intention to arbitrate, either party
may request the American Arbitration Association to furnish the parties with a list of names from which the parties shall jointly select an arbitrator. If the parties have not agreed upon an arbitrator within ten (10) calendar days of the
transmittal date of such list, then each party shall have an additional five (5) calendar days in which to strike any names objected to, number the remaining names in order of preference, and return the list to the American Arbitration
Association, which shall then select an arbitrator in accordance with Rule 13 of the Rules. The place of arbitration shall be Atlanta, Georgia or such other location as mutually agreed in writing by the parties. By agreeing to arbitration, the
parties hereto do not intend to deprive any court of its jurisdiction to issue a pre-arbitral injunction or with respect to other proceedings described in Section 6(h) (or delay any such proceedings), pre-arbitral attachment or other order in aid of arbitration. The arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16. Judgment upon the
award of the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party shall bear its or his own costs and expenses in any such arbitration and one-half of the arbitrator’s fees and
expenses.

 10.    Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES TO THIS
AGREEMENT EACH HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION (I) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR (II) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED
WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE.
THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT EACH HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF
THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. 

11.    Section 409A. 

(a)    The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with, or be
exempt from, Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively “Code Section 409A”) and the Company shall have complete discretion to interpret and construe this
Agreement and any associated documents in any manner that establishes an exemption from (or compliance with) the requirements of Code Section 409A. If, for any reason, such as imprecision in drafting any provision of this Agreement (or of any
award of compensation, including, without limitation, equity compensation or benefits) does not accurately reflect its intended establishment of an exemption from (or compliance with) Code Section 409A, as demonstrated by consistent
interpretations or other evidence of intent, such provision shall be considered ambiguous as to its exemption from (or compliance with) Code Section 409A and shall be interpreted by the Company in a manner consistent with such intent, as
determined in the discretion of the Company. 
 (b)    A termination of employment shall not be deemed
to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits that are considered nonqualified deferred compensation under Code Section 409A upon or following a termination of employment
unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination of
employment” or like terms shall mean such a “separation from service.” The determination of whether and when a separation from service has occurred for proposes of this Agreement shall be made in accordance with the presumptions set
forth in Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury Regulations. 

(c)    Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at the time of the
Executive’s separation from service, the Company determines that the Executive is a “specified employee,” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, then to the extent any payment or benefit that the Executive becomes entitled to
under this Agreement on account of such separation from service would be considered nonqualified deferred compensation under Code Section 409A such payment or benefit shall be paid or provided at the date which is the earlier of (i) six
(6) months and one day after such separation from service and (ii) the date of the 

  
 13 








 
Executive’s death (the “Delay Period”). Upon the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this Section 11(c) (whether they would
have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or provided to the Executive in a lump-sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this
Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein. 

(d)    Any reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under this
Agreement that constitute deferred compensation within the meaning of Code Section 409A shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A, including, without limitation, that (i) in no event shall any
fees, expenses or other amounts eligible to be reimbursed by the Company under this Agreement be paid later than the last day of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which the applicable fees, expenses or other amounts were
incurred; (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits that the Company is obligated to pay or provide, in any given calendar year shall not affect the expenses that the
Company is obligated to reimburse, or the in-kind benefits that the Company is obligated to pay or provide, in any other calendar year; (iii) the Executive’s right to have the Company pay or provide
such reimbursements and in-kind benefits may not be liquidated or exchanged for any other benefit; and (iv) in no event shall the Company’s obligations to make such reimbursements or to provide such in-kind benefits apply later than the Executive’s remaining lifetime (or if longer, through the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Commencement Date). 

(e)    For purposes of Code Section 409A, the Executive’s right to receive any installment
payments shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments. Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days (for example, payment shall be made “within thirty
(30) days following such termination”), the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Company. In no event may the Executive, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any
payment to be made under this Agreement, to the extent such payment is subject to Code Section 409A. 

(f)    The Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to the Executive or any
other person if any provisions of this Agreement are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, Code Section 409A. 

12.    General. 

(a)    Governing Law. Unless preempted by federal law, this Agreement and the legal relations thus
created between the parties hereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Georgia, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Georgia or
any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the law of any jurisdiction other than the State of Georgia. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that this Agreement was executed and delivered in the State of Georgia. 

  
 14 








 (b)    Construction and Severability. Whenever
possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by, or invalid, illegal or unenforceable
in any respect under, any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such prohibition, invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement or any other jurisdiction, and the parties undertake to
implement all efforts which are necessary, desirable and sufficient to amend, supplement or substitute all and any such prohibited, invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with enforceable and valid provisions in such jurisdiction which would
produce as nearly as may be possible the result previously intended by the parties without renegotiation of any material terms and conditions stipulated herein. 

(c)    Cooperation. During the Employment Period and thereafter, the Executive shall cooperate with
the Company and be reasonably available to the Company with respect to continuing and/or future matters related to the Executive’s employment period with the Company and/or its subsidiaries or affiliates, whether such matters are
business-related, legal, regulatory or otherwise (including, without limitation, the Executive appearing at the Company’s request to give testimony without requiring service of a subpoena or other legal process, volunteering to the Company all
pertinent information and turning over to the Company all relevant documents which are or may come into the Executive’s possession). Following the Employment Term, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for all reasonable out of pocket
expenses incurred by the Executive in rendering such services that are approved by the Company. In addition, if more than an incidental cooperation is required at any time after the termination of the Executive’s employment, the Executive shall
be paid (other than for the time of actual testimony) a per day fee based on his base salary described in Section 5(a) at the time of such termination divided by 225. 

(d)    Nondisparagement. During the Employment Term and thereafter, the Executive shall not,
directly or indirectly, take any action, or encourage others to take any action, to disparage the Company, its employees, officers, directors, products, services, customers or owners; provided, however, this provision does not apply to the
Executive’s oral or written communications made in the performance of his duties as provided in this Agreement, including but not limited to expressions of opinion communicated internally at the Company or to the Company’s directors. 

(e)    Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by the Company and its successors and assigns and the Executive and the Executive’s heirs, executors, administrators, and successors; provided that the services provided by the Executive under this Agreement are of a personal
nature, and rights and obligations of the Executive under this Agreement shall not be assignable or delegable, except for any death payments otherwise due the Executive, which shall be payable to the estate of the Executive; provided
further the Company may assign this Agreement to, and all rights hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company or any person, firm or corporation resulting from the reorganization of the Company or
succeeding to the business or assets of the Company by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise; and provided further that in the event of the Executive’s death, any unpaid amount due to the Executive under this Agreement shall be paid to
his estate. 

  
 15 








 (f)    Executive’s Representations. The Executive
hereby represents and warrants to the Company that: (i) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Executive do not and shall not conflict with, breach, violate or cause a default under any contract, agreement, instrument,
order, judgment or decree to which the Executive is a party or by which the Executive is bound; (ii) the Executive is not a party to or bound by any employment agreement, noncompetition or nonsolicitation agreement or confidentiality agreement
with any other person or entity besides the Company and (iii) upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company, this Agreement shall be the valid and binding obligation of the Executive, enforceable in accordance with its teens.
THE EXECUTIVE HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND REPRESENTS THAT THE EXECUTIVE HAS CONSULTED WITH INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL REGARDING THE EXECUTIVE’S RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, TO THE EXTENT DETERMINED NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE BY THE
EXECUTIVE, AND THAT THE EXECUTIVE FULLY UNDERSTANDS THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONTAINED HEREIN. 

(g)    Compliance with Rules and Policies. The Executive shall perform all services in accordance
with the policies, procedures and rules established by the Company and the Board. In addition, the Executive shall comply with all laws, rules and regulations that are generally applicable to the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates and their
respective employees, directors and officers. 
 (h)    Withholding Taxes. All amounts payable
hereunder shall be subject to the withholding of all applicable taxes and deductions required by any applicable law. 

(i)    Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between
the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and terminates and supersedes any and all prior agreements, understandings and representations, whether written or oral, by or between the parties hereto or their affiliates which may have
related to the subject matter hereof in any way, including, without limitation, the Prior Agreement and any other existing employment agreement or change of control agreement, which is hereby terminated and cancelled and of no further force or
effect, without the payment of any additional consideration by or to either of the parties hereto. 

(j)    Duration. Notwithstanding the Employment Term hereunder, this Agreement shall continue for
so long as any obligations remain under this Agreement. 
 (k)    Survival. The covenants set
forth in Sections 6 and 12(c) of this Agreement shall survive and shall continue to be binding upon the Executive notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever. 

(l)    Amendment and Waiver. The provisions of this Agreement may be amended or waived only with
the prior written consent of the Company and the Executive, and no course of conduct or course of dealing or failure or delay by any party hereto in enforcing or exercising any of the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the
Company’s right to terminate the Employment Term for Cause) shall affect the validity, binding effect or enforceability of this Agreement or be deemed to be an implied waiver of any similar or 

  
 16 








 
dissimilar requirement, provision or condition of this Agreement at the same or any prior or subsequent time. Pursuit by either party of any available remedy, either in law or equity, or any
action of any kind, does not constitute waiver of any other remedy or action. Such remedies and actions are cumulative and not exclusive. 

(m)    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which taken
together shall constitute one instrument. 
 (n)    Section References. Section headings in this
Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose. The words Section and paragraph herein shall refer to provisions of this Agreement unless expressly indicated
otherwise. 
 (o)    No Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the
negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise
favoring or disfavoring either party hereto by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. When the context admits or requires, words used in the masculine gender shall be construed to include the feminine, the plural shall
include the singular, and the singular shall include the plural. 
 (p)    Time of the Essence;

banks in New York, New York are authorized to be closed, the party having such privilege or duty may exercise such privilege or discharge such duty on the next succeeding day which is a regular business day. 

(q)    No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended or
shall be construed to give any person other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors or permitted assigns any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of any agreement
or any provision contained herein. 
 (r)    Protected Rights. Nothing contained in this
Agreement limits the Executive’s ability to file a charge or complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or any other federal, state or local governmental agency or commission (collectively, “Government
Agencies”), or prevents the Executive from providing truthful testimony in response to a lawfully issued subpoena or court order. Further, this Agreement does not limit the Executive’s ability to communicate with any Government
Agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including providing documents or other information, without notice to the Company. 

(s)    Defend Trade Secrets Act. The Executive is hereby notified that under the Defend Trade

state, or local government official, either 

  
 17 








 
directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and made solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law or (B) made in a complaint or other document filed in a
lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal so that it is not made public; and (ii) an individual who pursues a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of the law may disclose the trade
secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal, and does not disclose the trade secret, except as permitted by court
order.

 Exhibit A: Form of Release 

WAIVER AND RELEASE 

This Waiver and Release (this “Release”) is executed by Fred Boehler (the “Executive”)
pursuant to Section 7(d) of the Employment Agreement, dated as of [●], by and between [AMERICOLD LOGISTICS, LLC] and the Executive (the “Employment Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Release have
the meanings given to them in the Employment Agreement. 
 1.    General Release. In
consideration of the payments and benefits to be provided to the Executive pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Employment Agreement, the Executive, on behalf of himself and anyone claiming through him, hereby fully and completely releases,
acquits and forever discharges the Company, its affiliates and related entities, and each of their respective current and former employees, officers, directors, shareholders, partners, members, managers, agents, employee benefit plans and
fiduciaries, insurers, trustees, attorneys, joint venture partners, transferees, successors and assigns (each a “Released Party” and collectively, the “Released Parties”), collectively, separately, and severally, of
and from any and all claims, demands, damages, causes of action, debts, liabilities, controversies, judgments, and suits of every kind and nature whatsoever, foreseen, unforeseen, known or unknown, that arise out of or relate to the Executive’s
employment or termination of employment with the Company and that the Executive has had, now has, or may have against the Released Parties (or any of them) at any time up to and including the date the Executive signs this Release, with the exception
of the claims set forth in Section 2 below (the claims released in this Release are collectively referred to as the “Released Claims”). The Released Claims include all claims arising under any federal,
state or local statute or ordinance, constitutional provision, public policy or common law, including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (the “ADEA”), the Equal Pay Act, the
Civil Rights Act of 1866, the Civil Rights Act of 1871, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (with respect to unvested benefits), COBRA, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Georgia Equal Pay Act, the

public policy, retaliation, or interference with legal rights; all claims for compensation of any type whatsoever, including claims for wages, bonuses, commissions, equity, vacation, sick leave, PTO and severance; all claims arising under tort,
contract and/or quasi-contract law, including all claims arising under the Employment Agreement; and all claims for monetary or equitable relief, including attorneys’ fees, back pay, front pay, reinstatement, experts’ fees, medical
expenses, costs and disbursements. The Executive hereby waives any right to seek or recover any individual relief (including any money damages, reinstatement, or other relief) in connection with any of the Released Claims through any charge,
complaint, lawsuit, or other proceeding, whether commenced or maintained by the Executive or by any other person or entity, with the exception of any right to seek an award pursuant to Section 21F of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 

  
 20 








 2.    Excluded Claims. The Released Claims do not
include (a) any claims for vested benefits to which the Executive is entitled upon the termination of his employment in accordance with the terms of the applicable benefit plans (for the avoidance of doubt, no term or provision under the
Employment Agreement shall be deemed a benefit plan for purposes of this Release); (b) any claims related to acts, omissions or events occurring after the date this Release is signed by the Executive; (c) any right that the Executive may have
to indemnification or insurance coverage under the Company’s organizational documents or any directors and officers insurance policy; (d) any claims that cannot legally be waived by private agreement. 

3.    Covenant Not to Sue. Except for an action to challenge the validity of the Executive’s
release of claims under the ADEA, or as otherwise provided in Section 5 below, the Executive promises that he will not file, instigate or participate in any proceeding against any of the Released Parties relating to any of
the Released Claims. In the event the Executive breaches the covenant contained in this Section 3, the Executive agrees to indemnify the Released Parties for all damages and expenses, including attorneys’ fees,
incurred by any Released Parties in defending, participating in or investigating any matter or proceeding covered by this Section 3. 

4.    Representations. The Executive represents and warrants that (a) the Executive has been
properly paid for all hours worked and has received all wages, bonuses, vacation pay, expense reimbursements and any other sums due from the Company (with the exception of the payments and benefits to be provided pursuant to Section 7(b) of the
Employment Agreement); (b) the Executive has returned all Company property in his possession or control and has permanently deleted any Confidential Information stored on any electronic device, web-based email
or other storage location not owned by the Company but within the Executive’s possession or control; (c) the Executive has suffered no work-related injury or occupational disease during the course of his employment with the Company that he
has not reported in writing to the Company; (d) the Executive is not aware of any activity by the Company or any other Released Party that he believes to be unlawful or potentially unlawful; (e) the Executive has not filed any complaints,
claims or actions against the Company or any other Released Party; and (f) the Executive has not assigned, transferred, conveyed or otherwise disposed of any Released Claims. 

5.    Protected Rights. Nothing contained in this Release limits the Executive’s ability to
file a charge or complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or any other federal, state or local governmental agency or commission (collectively, “Government Agencies”). Further, this Release does not limit the
Executive’s ability to communicate with any Government Agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including providing documents or other information, without notice to
the Company. 
 6.    Consideration Period. The Executive understands that he has [twenty-one (21) days / forty-five (45) days]1 to consider this Release before deciding whether to sign it. The Executive may sign this Release sooner
if he chooses, but no sooner than the date of termination of his employment. If the Executive chooses to sign this Release before the expiration of such [21-day /
45-day] period, he represents that his decision to do so is knowing and voluntary. The Executive agrees that any changes made to this Release after it was delivered to him, whether material or immaterial, do
not restart the [21-day / 45-day] period described in this Section. The Company advises the Executive to consult with an attorney before signing this Release. 

 
  

	 1 
	 To be determined by the Company at the time of termination in accordance with applicable law.




  
 21 








 7.    Right to Revoke. The Executive understands that
he has the right to revoke this Release within seven (7) days after signing it. This Release shall not become effective until the eighth day following the date on which the Executive has signed it without having revoked it (the
“Effective Date”). If the Executive chooses to revoke this Release, he must deliver written notice of revocation to the Company in accordance with Section 8 of the Employment Agreement. Any such notice of revocation must be
delivered to the Company in a manner calculated to ensure receipt prior to 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the day prior to the Effective Date. The Executive understands that if he revoke this Release, he will not be entitled to any of the benefits
provided hereunder. 
 8.    General Provisions. The Released Parties expressly deny that they
have any liability to the Executive, and this Release is not to be construed as an admission of any such liability. This Release is to be construed under the laws of the State of Georgia. This Release constitutes the entire agreement between the
Executive and the Company with respect to the issues addressed in this Release. The Executive represents that he is not relying on any other agreements or oral representations not fully expressed in this Release. This Release may not be modified
except in writing signed by the Executive and an authorized Company representative. The headings in this Release are for reference only, and do not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Release. As used herein, the phrase
“including” means “including, but not limited to” in each instance. “Or” is used in the inclusive sense of “and/or”. Should any part of this Release be found to be void or unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction or Government Agency, such determination will not affect the remainder of this Release.
