EXECUTION VERSION


 


NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:


 


1.            Chief Executive
Officer Transition


 


(a)           During
the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the Expiration Date (the “Remaining Employment Term”),
the Parties agree that they each shall continue to perform their respective obligations pursuant to the terms and conditions of
the Employment Agreement, including, without limitation, the Executive’s continued employment with the Company as its CEO
and President reporting directly to the Board, and that the termination provisions of the Employment Agreement, except as modified
by this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect during the Remaining Employment Term (including the right to terminate
employment due to death or Disability, by the Executive with or without Good Reason or by the Company for Cause (as such term has
been modified herein)). In addition, if the Company extends an offer of employment to a new CEO and it is accepted (the “New
CEO”) prior to or on the Expiration Date, the Executive’s employment under this Agreement and the Remaining
Employment Term shall terminate as a termination without Cause (as such term has been modified herein) on the date the New CEO
commences employment with the Company (entitling the Executive to severance under Section 4(a), subject to the terms and
conditions therein), and the Executive agrees to assist with the transition of his duties and responsibilities to the New CEO and
such other persons as the Company may designate so as to cause an orderly transition of such duties and responsibilities once the
New CEO’s appointment has been announced by the Company. The Executive agrees that his services during the Remaining Employment
Term through the Separation Date will be subject to the same standards of conduct and performance applicable to all officers and
employees of the Company taking into account his position and duties during such Remaining Employment Term. If the Executive’s
employment has not been terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement on or prior to the Expiration Date, the Parties
agree that the Employment Agreement shall terminate on the Expiration Date (except for the Surviving Provisions), but that the
Executive’s employment as CEO and President shall continue pursuant to Section 1(b) below.


 


(b)           If
the Executive is still employed as the Company’s CEO and President under Section 1(a) above on the Expiration Date,
the Company shall continue to employ the Executive as its CEO and President pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement
(including, without limitation, the consideration payable to the Executive pursuant to Section 3(b) below) until the first
to occur of the following: (i) the date the New CEO commences employment with the Company; (ii) an earlier date as determined by
the Company, in its sole discretion, and provided further that the Company shall give the Executive at least two weeks’ advance
written notice of such earlier termination date; (iii) the date of the Executive’s termination of service by the Executive
with or without Good Reason or due to the Executive’s death or Disability; (iv) the date of the Executive’s termination
of employment by the Company for Cause (as such term is modified herein); and (v) September 30, 2021 (the “Transition
Date”). The period commencing on the Expiration Date and ending on the Transition Date is referred to herein as,
the “Transition Period”. During the Transition Period, the Executive agrees that his services will be
subject to the same standards of conduct and performance applicable to all officers and employees of the Company and as was otherwise
required pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement. A termination of the Executive’s employment under Section
1(b)(i), (ii) or (v) shall be deemed to be a termination without Cause (as such term is modified herein) entitling the Executive
to severance under Section 4(a) below. For purposes of this Agreement, the date the Executive’s employment terminates
pursuant to this Agreement on or prior to the Expiration Date, or, if he is employed during the Transition Period, the last day
of the Transition Period shall be referred to as, the “Separation Date,” which the Parties agree shall
be the date the Executive incurs a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A.

EXECUTION VERSION


 


(c)           Following
the Separation Date, the Company agrees to retain the Executive and the Executive agrees to serve as a consultant pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement for the period beginning on the Separation Date and ending on September 30, 2021 (the “Consulting
Period”), subject to early termination as set forth in this Section 1(c). The Parties may extend the Consulting
Period to a later date, by mutual written agreement. The Consulting Period may be terminated by either Party as follows: (i) the
Company retains the right to terminate the Consulting Period for Cause (as such term has been modified herein) without notice at
any time, and, if the Consulting Period is extended after September 30, 2021, for any reason with one days’ written notice;
(ii) the Executive retains the right to terminate the Consulting Period for any reason with one days’ written notice; and
(iii) in the event of the Executive’s death or Disability, the Consulting Period will end upon such death or Disability.
The Company’s retention of the Executive during the Consulting Period shall be for the limited purpose of providing advice
and offering other assistance to the Company (consistent with the resources of the Executive) on matters that the Board reasonably
requests (the “Consulting Services”), and shall not prevent the Executive from obtaining other employment
or providing services to third parties unrelated to the Company, provided that such employment or services comply with the restrictive
covenants in Article IV of the Employment Agreement. The Executive shall perform the Consulting Services in a diligent, trustworthy,
and businesslike manner, with the purpose of advancing the business of the Company. The Executive shall at all times during the
Consulting Period be an independent contractor. For purposes of clarity, the Parties agree that because the Executive will be performing
the Consulting Services, the Award Agreements (other than the Cash Bonus Agreement (defined below), which will vest on the Expiration
Date or earlier to the extent provided in Section 3(d) below) shall continue to vest during the Consulting Period in accordance
with their terms (including on account of death or Disability to the same extent the equity awarded under such Award Agreements
would vest if the Executive had remained employed). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parties intend
that the average level of bona fide services to be provided by the Executive during the Consulting Period shall be equal to or
less than 20% of the average level of the bona fide services provided by the Executive during the 36-month period immediately preceding
the Separation Date.


 


2.            Executive’s
Termination of Employment. The Executive’s employment with the Company, and all of the Executive’s
positions with the Company and its affiliates, including all officer positions and positions as a member of the board of directors
of the Company (or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries) on which the Executive was serving immediately prior to the Separation
Date, shall terminate effective as of the Separation Date. The Executive shall execute all documents and take such further steps
as may be required to effectuate his resignation and termination as contemplated under this Section 2. The Executive agrees
to cooperate fully and provide assistance, at the reasonable request of the Company, in the orderly transitioning of the Executive’s
duties and responsibilities to the New CEO and such other persons as the Company shall designate, and the Executive agrees to
thoroughly and diligently perform those duties and actions which are necessary or appropriate to facilitate such orderly transition.
The Executive shall not perform any work and shall not make any representations or execute any documents or take any other actions
on behalf of the Company following the Separation Date.


 


3.            Compensation.


 


(a)           During the Remaining Employment Term, the Executive shall continue to receive his Base Salary of $750,000 and expenses and
other benefits in accordance with the terms of Article II.E. and F. of the Employment Agreement and will continue to participate
in all employee benefits on the same terms and conditions as he was participating in such benefits immediately prior to the date
of this Agreement, except that the Parties acknowledge that no annual cash bonus will be payable to the Executive during
the Remaining Employment Term and that the Executive shall not be eligible for any additional equity grants during the Remaining
Employment Term.


 


(b)          During the Transition Period, the Executive’s annual Base Salary ($750,000) and expenses and employee benefits will
remain unchanged and shall continue as set forth in Section 3(a) above (other than the Executive shall not be eligible for
any additional equity grants). In addition, provided that the Executive’s services to the Company are not terminated by the
Company for Cause (as such term has been modified herein) or by the Executive without Good Reason during the Transition Period,
the Executive shall receive a bonus for the Company’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2022 equal to 100% of his annual Base Salary
of $750,000, prorated based on the number of days he is employed by the Company pursuant to this Agreement during the Transition
Period in such fiscal year (the “2022 Bonus”). The 2022 Bonus shall be paid in cash to the Executive
within 30 days following the Separation Date. All amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3(b) shall be subject to applicable
taxes and withholdings.

EXECUTION VERSION


 


(c)           As
full compensation for the Consulting Services rendered by the Executive during the Consulting Period, if any, the Company shall
pay the Executive a consulting fee of $360.00 per hour for each hour of service the Executive provides during the Consulting Period,
which amount shall be paid on a monthly basis in arrears (the “Consulting Fees”). The Executive shall
provide the Company an invoice specifying the Consulting Services for the applicable month. The Company agrees to pay the Consulting
Fees as compensation to the Executive on the first payroll period of the month following the month after such invoice is received
and agrees to deduct applicable taxes and withholdings from such amounts as if the Executive was an employee. Any Consulting Fees
shall be reported on the Executive’s Form W-2 for the year in which such fees are paid. The Parties acknowledge and agree
that the withholding, remittance, and reporting of taxes relating to the Consulting Fees does not change the Executive’s
status as an independent contractor.


 


(d)           Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3(d), any outstanding awards granted pursuant to the Incentive Plan
to the Executive shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement and the applicable Award Agreements;
provided that the restrictive covenants in the Award Agreements shall be replaced in their entirety with the same or similar restrictive
covenants in Article IV of the Employment Agreement (e.g., the non-solicitation in an Award Agreement shall be replaced
with the non-solicitation provision in Article IV of the Employment Agreement). For purposes of clarity, the cash award potentially
payable pursuant to that certain Cash-Based Performance Award Agreement, effective as of September 26, 2018, by and between the
Company and the Executive (the “Cash Bonus Agreement”) shall remain in full force and effect in accordance
with its terms and conditions, including, without limitation, the payment of such cash award to the Executive in connection with
his Termination of Service (as defined in the Incentive Plan) by the Company without Cause (as such term is modified herein) or
by the Executive for Good Reason (as defined in the Cash Bonus Agreement) prior to the Expiration Date in a lump-sum cash payment
on the Company’s next regularly scheduled payroll date following the Separation Date. The Parties acknowledge and agree that
the non-renewal of the Employment Agreement constitutes a termination without Cause for purposes of the Cash Bonus Agreement, and
that, on the Expiration Date (except if (i) the Executive’s employment is terminated during the Remaining Employment
Term by the Company for Cause (as such term is modified herein) or the Executive provides written notice to the Company that he
is terminating his employment without Good Reason prior to the Expiration Date or (ii) the Cash Bonus Agreement vested prior to
the Expiration Date due to the termination of the Executive’s employment during the Remaining Employment Term by the Company
without Cause (as such term is modified herein) or by him for Good Reason, and amounts due thereunder have already been paid or
scheduled to be paid), the Cash Bonus Agreement shall vest at the target bonus level for a payment of $750,000, and be paid in
a lump-sum cash payment on the Company’s next regularly scheduled payroll date following the Separation Date.


 


(e)           The
Company agrees to pay the Executive’s counsel directly for the reasonable and documented attorney fees incurred by the Executive
in connection with the review of this Agreement and any related documents, up to a maximum of $15,000. Such payment will be made
as soon as administratively practicable, and in no event later than 30 days, following receipt by the Company of an appropriate
invoice from the attorney for the fees with respect to such review, provided that such invoice is provided to the Company within
30 days following the effective date of this Agreement.

4.            Severance
Benefits. The Parties agree that the provisions of this Section 4 shall supersede the provisions of the
Employment Agreement relating to a termination of the Executive’s employment without Cause (as such term is been modified
herein), including due to non-renewal of the Employment Term of the Employment Agreement by the Company, or by the Executive with
Good Reason during either the Remaining Employment Term or the Transition Period (other than those provisions relating to Code
Section 409A which shall continue to apply to the payment of the same severance and other benefits under this Agreement as if
the payments and benefits were provided under the Employment Agreement) and the Executive shall be entitled to the payments and
benefits set forth in Section 4(a) below (subject to the terms and conditions therein) for a termination without Cause
(as such term has been modified herein) or a resignation for Good Reason during the Remaining Employment Term or the Transition
Period. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any modifications to the Executive’s compensation or position as provided
for, and made in accordance with, this Agreement shall not constitute “Good Reason” for purposes of Employment Agreement
or this Agreement. In the event the Executive’s services to the Company during either the Remaining Employment Term or the
Transition Period are terminated by the Company for Cause (as such term has been modified herein), by him without Good Reason,
or due to his death or Disability, in lieu of any of the amounts or benefits payable or to be provided pursuant to this Agreement
to the Executive, he shall instead only be eligible to receive such payments and benefits, if any, as would have otherwise been
payable pursuant to Article III.B. of the Employment Agreement for such termination. For all terminations of employment, the Executive
shall be entitled to the Accrued Obligations and the Accrued Rights.


 


(a)         The
Company shall pay the Executive a lump-sum cash payment equal to the Accrued Obligations, payable within the time period required
by applicable law and, in no event, later than 30 days following the Separation Date. In addition, provided that the Executive
complies with the restrictive covenants set forth in Article IV of the Employment Agreement (as set forth in Section 17
below), and executes the Form of Waiver and Release of Claims – Mutual Release attached hereto as Exhibit B
(the “Release”), on (but not before) the Separation Date or within 21 days following the Separation
Date and does not revoke the Release in accordance with its terms, in consideration of the Executive’s execution of this
Agreement and the promises herein, including, without limitation, the Release, the Company shall pay or provide to the Executive
the following:


 


(i)           
If the Executive’s employment is terminated prior to the Expiration Date by the Company without Cause (as such term
is modified herein) or by the Executive for Good Reason, an amount equal to the Base Salary he would have been paid from the Separation
Date through the Expiration Date, paid in a lump sum within 30 days following the Separation Date;


 


(ii)           An
amount equal to 12 months of his annual Base Salary of $750,000, paid in 24 substantially equal installments in accordance with
the Company’s current payroll practice of paying such base salary bi-monthly commencing with the first payroll date following
the Separation Date, provided that if a Change in Control occurs on or prior to the Separation Date, such amount shall be increased
to 18 months, paid in 36 substantially equal installments;


 


(iii)         
A lump-sum cash payment of $750,000 (increasing to $1,125,000 if a Change in Control occurs on or prior to the Separation
Date), paid (A) in September 2021 if the Executive terminates employment prior to or on the Expiration Date; and (B) if the Separation
Date occurs during the Transition Period, on the Company’s first regularly scheduled payroll date on or next following January
1, 2022;


 


(iv)          Any
vested, outstanding stock option awards granted pursuant to the Award Agreements shall remain outstanding and exercisable until
the earlier of (A) the first anniversary of the Separation Date (or, if later, September 26, 2022 for the stock options granted
on September 26, 2018, and September 19, 2022 for the stock options granted on September 19, 2017) and (B) the last day of the
original term of the stock option award as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement and, in the event a Change in Control occurs
on or prior to the Separation Date, the unvested portion of the time-based equity awards granted pursuant to the Award Agreements
shall vest and be treated as provided in Article III.B.(iv) of the Employment Agreement or, if more favorable, as provided in
the Award Agreements and any performance-based equity awards held by the Executive on his Separation Date shall remain outstanding
and eligible for vesting as provided in Article III.B.(iv) of the Employment Agreement or, if more favorable, the Award Agreements;
and

EXECUTION VERSION


 


(v)           Provided the Executive timely elects to continue group health benefit coverage pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), the Company shall, for the first 12 calendar months
(increasing to 18 calendar months if a Change in Control occurs on or prior to the Separation Date) following the Separation Date
(or, if earlier, until the Executive’s COBRA coverage terminates for any reason), pay the Executive an additional cash payment
equal to the employer-portion of the premiums paid by the Company for an active employee (based on the Executive’s and his
eligible dependents’ costs for participating in such plans) for each such month, with the first payment commencing on the
date that the payment of the Base Salary under Section 4(a)(i) above commences, less all required taxes and withholdings.
For purposes of clarity, the Executive shall be solely responsible for electing and paying the premiums for any COBRA benefits.


 


The Company shall have no obligation to
pay the amounts or provide the benefits described in Sections 4(a)(i) – (v) unless the Executive executes and does
not revoke the Release in the time periods set forth in this Agreement and the Release. All amounts payable pursuant to this Section
4(a) shall be subject to applicable taxes and withholdings. Other than the Accrued Obligations, the amounts payable pursuant
to this Section 4(a) shall not be treated as compensation under the Company’s 401(k) plan or any other retirement
plan.


 


Upon receipt of an executed copy of the
Release by the Executive, the Company agrees to promptly execute and deliver the Release executed by it to the Executive.


 


For purposes
of this Agreement and the Award Agreements, during the Remaining Employment Term, “Cause” shall
have the meaning given to it in the Employment Agreement; provided, however, that the Executive’s termination will not be
deemed for “Cause”: to the extent that the Executive (1) has relied on the advice or followed the instructions
of any counsel (internal or external) for the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates), or any outside firm providing
advice to the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates); (2) has followed any resolution and/or the instructions or directions
of the Company’s Board, including, without limitation, its Chairperson; or (3) had a reasonable and good faith belief that
such act or omission was in (or not opposed to) the best interests of the Company (or its subsidiaries or affiliates, as applicable);
and the Executive’s employment cannot be terminated for Cause until (x) the Executive is given an opportunity to be heard
before the full Board (represented by counsel) and after such hearing there is a vote of at least 75% of the members of the Board
(excluding the Executive or any other officer of the Company then serving on the Board) to terminate the Executive’s employment
for Cause, and (y) the Board then delivers notice of such vote to the Executive. Further, the Board, in any determination regarding
whether to terminate the Executive’s employment for Cause, must find that the Executive’s actions resulted in material
harm to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall be deemed to constitute material harm: (a) any acts of
theft, embezzlement or fraud, and (b) any willful failure or refusal to satisfactorily perform the duties and responsibilities
required to be performed by the Executive under the terms of the Employment Agreement or necessary to carry out his job duties
which is not cured within the applicable time period noted in Article III.B(ii)(f) of the Employment Agreement after receipt by
the Executive of the required notice contained in Article III. B.(ii)(f) of the Employment Agreement.

Further, the Parties agree that during
the Transition Period and, if applicable, the Consulting Period, for purposes of this Agreement and the Award Agreements, “Cause”
shall mean: (A) an act or acts of theft, embezzlement or fraud with respect to the Company’s property or assets; (B) willful
misconduct or gross neglect by the Executive in connection with the performance of his material duties for the Company which the
Executive failed to cure within 5 days after receiving written notice from the Board detailing such misconduct or neglect; (C)
the Executive’s conviction of, or pleading nolo contendere or guilty to, a felony (other than a traffic violation) that causes
damage to the Company or the Company’s reputation; or (D) the Executive’s willful and material breach of Article IV
of the Employment Agreement which results in harm to the Company. Any act or omission of the Executive will not be deemed to be
 “willful” to the extent that the Executive: (1) has relied on the advice or followed the instructions of any counsel
(internal or external) for the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates), or any outside firm providing advice to the
Company (or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates); (2) has followed any resolution and/or the instructions or directions of the
Company’s Board, including, without limitation, its Chairperson; or (3) had a reasonable and good faith belief that such
act or omission was in (or not opposed to) the best interests of the Company (or its subsidiaries or affiliates, as applicable).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive’s employment cannot be terminated for Cause during the Transition Period and
the Consulting Services cannot be terminated for Cause during the Consulting Period until the Executive is given an opportunity
to be heard before the full Board (represented by counsel) and after such hearing there is a vote of at least 75% of the members
of the Board (excluding Executive or any other officer of the Company serving on the Board) to terminate the Executive’s
employment or the Consulting Services for Cause within the meaning of this paragraph of Section 4(a) and the Board then
delivers notice of such vote to the Executive.


 


(b)           Other
than the compensation and payments provided for in this Agreement, amounts payable pursuant to the Award Agreements, any health
or welfare benefits under the Company’s employee welfare plans (including life and disability insurance) and any vested
account balances under the Company’s 401(k) or other retirement plan, the Executive shall not be entitled to any additional
compensation, bonuses, payments, grants, options, or other benefits under any agreement or any benefit plan, long term incentive
plan, short term incentive plan, severance plan (including, without limitation, the Tuesday Morning Corporation Executive Severance
Plan and Summary Plan Description effective May 1, 2018 (the “Severance Plan”)), or other bonus or incentive
program established by the Company.


 


(c)            Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, and subject to and conditioned upon the execution and delivery by the Executive of
the Release in the time period set forth herein and in the Release:


 


(i)           
No amount described in Sections 4(a)(i)-(v) shall be paid to the Executive until the date on which the revocation
period for the Release expires, and all amounts that would otherwise have been paid prior to such date shall be paid as soon as
practicable after such date, provided, however, in the event the time period to return the Release to the Company spans two taxable
years, no payments shall be made to the Executive pursuant to Sections 4(a)(i)-(v) until the second taxable year, and the
first payment to the Executive in the second taxable year shall include any amounts that would have been paid to the Executive
in the absence of this Section 4(c)(i); and


 


(ii)          
To the extent that (A) any payments to which the Executive becomes entitled under this Agreement, or any other agreement
or plan referenced herein, in connection with the Executive’s termination of service with the Company constitute “deferred
compensation” subject to Code Section 409A (determined after taking into account all applicable exemptions under Code Section
409A) and (B) the Executive is deemed at the time of such termination of service to be a “specified employee” under
Code Section 409A, then such payment or payments shall not be made or commence until the earlier of (1) the expiration of the six-month
period measured from the date of the Executive’s “separation from service” (as such term is defined in the final
regulations issued under Code Section 409A) with the Company; or (2) the date of the Executive’s death following such separation
from service. Upon expiration of the applicable deferral period, any payments which would have otherwise been made during that
period (whether in a single sum or in installments) in the absence of this Section 4(c)(ii) shall be paid to the Executive
(or, in the case of the Executive’s death, his estate) in a lump sum.

EXECUTION VERSION


 


8.            Defend
Trade Secrets Act. The Executive is hereby notified in accordance with the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 that
he will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret
that is made in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney
solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or is made in a complaint or other document
that is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding.


 


9.            Cooperation.
In accordance with Article V.G. of the Employment Agreement, after the Separation Date, the Executive hereby agrees to provide
the Executive’s full cooperation, at the request of the Company, with any and all investigations or other legal, equitable,
or business matters or proceedings which involve any matters for which the Executive worked on or had responsibility during the
Executive’s employment with or service to the Company. The Executive also agrees, subject to his other professional and personal
commitments to the extent practicable, to be reasonably available to the Company or its representatives to provide general advice
or assistance as requested by the Company (subject to his rights under the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution). This includes,
but is not limited to, testifying (and preparing to testify) as a witness in any proceeding or otherwise providing information
or reasonable assistance to the Company in connection with any investigation, claim, or suit and cooperating with the Company regarding
any investigation, litigation, claims, or other disputed items involving the Company that relate to matters within the knowledge
or responsibility of the Executive (subject to his rights under the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution). Specifically, the
Executive agrees, subject to his other professional and personal commitments to the extent practicable, (a) to meet with the Company’s
representatives, its counsel, or other designees at reasonable times and places with respect to any items within the scope of this
provision; (b) to provide truthful testimony regarding the same to any court, agency, or other adjudicatory body; (c) to provide
the Company with immediate notice of contact or subpoena by any non-governmental adverse party as to matters relating to the Company,
and (d) to not voluntarily assist any such non-governmental adverse party or such non-governmental adverse party’s representatives.
The Executive acknowledges and understands that the Executive’s obligations of cooperation under Article V.G. of the Employment
Agreement or this Section 9 are not limited in time and may include, but shall not be limited to, the need for or availability
for testimony; provided, however, that in no event shall the Executive be required to provide post-termination services to the
Company to the extent such post-termination services would be inconsistent with the “separation from service” requirements
of Code Section 409A. The Executive’s cooperation pursuant Article V.G. of the Employment Agreement or pursuant to this Section
9 shall not be considered Consulting Services. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for reasonable expenses incurred in
providing cooperation requested by the Company pursuant to this Section 9 or Article V.G. of the Employment Agreement, and
the Executive shall remain entitled to any rights he has pursuant to the Indemnification Agreement or the Company’s bylaws
with respect to any cooperation provided pursuant to Article V.G of the Employment Agreement or pursuant to this Section 9.


 


10.          Binding
Effect of Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective
successors, assigns, executors, administrators, heirs, and estates. If the Executive should die while any payment and/or benefit
is due to him hereunder, such payment and benefit shall be paid to his spouse or if she is not alive his estate. Except as otherwise
set forth in this Section 10, there are no third party beneficiaries of this Agreement.


 


11.          Controlling
Law. This Agreement shall in all respects be interpreted, enforced, and governed under the laws of the State of Delaware,
without regard to any conflict of law principles. The Company and the Executive agree that the language in this Agreement shall,
in all cases, be construed as a whole, according to its fair meaning, and not strictly for or against either of the Parties.

EXECUTION VERSION


 


12.          Venue.
Article V.A. and Article V.F. of the Employment Agreement shall govern any dispute relating to or arising out of this Agreement,
except that the Company may seek injunctive relief in a court of law to enforce the restrictive covenants in the Employment Agreement.


 


13.          Headings.
The paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall in no way or manner be construed
as a part of this Agreement.


 


14.          Severability.
In the event that any court of competent jurisdiction holds any provision in this Agreement (other than Sections 3 and 4)
to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, the remaining provisions shall not be affected or invalidated and shall
remain in full force and effect.


 


15.          Reformation.
In the event any court of competent jurisdiction holds any restriction in this Agreement to be unreasonable and/or
unenforceable as written, the court may reform this Agreement to make it enforceable (but without expanding its scope or length
of time), and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as reformed by the court.


 


16.          Breach
of Agreement. In the event the Executive materially breaches Article IV of the Employment Agreement, the Company may, in
its sole discretion (a) recover all or any portion of the amounts in Sections 4(a)(i)-(v) already paid to the Executive
from the date of such breach; (b) to the extent any amount in Sections 4(a)(i)-(v) has not been paid to the Executive in
full, terminate the remaining amounts and the Executive will not be eligible to receive any further payments; (c) if the Company
is the prevailing party, recover attorneys’ fees, expenses, and costs the Company incurs in a legal action to recover the
payments covered by clause (a) of this Section 16, capped at $25,000 in the aggregate; and/or (d) file a claim to recover
any and all other damages to which the Company may be entitled at law or in equity as a result of such a breach of Article IV of
the Employment Agreement by the Executive. Prior to forfeiting or pursuing a claim to recover the amounts in Sections 4(a)(i)-(v)
or a claim for damages, however, the Company agrees that it will provide the Executive with written notice of the acts or omissions
giving rise to such action by the Company and, if curable, no less than 10 days to cure. To the extent an act or omission is curable,
if the Executive cures such act or omission within such time period, the amounts shall no longer be subject to forfeiture or repayment,
and the Executive shall no longer be subject to a suit for damages on account of such act or omission. If the Executive materially
breaches any other portion of this Agreement, the Company may pursue a claim for damages to which the Company may be entitled at
law or in equity as a result of a breach of this Agreement by the Executive and the Company may recover its attorneys’ fees
and costs it incurs in any legal action regarding the Executive’s material breach of this Agreement if it is the prevailing
party, provided that the total aggregate amount the Company can recover in legal fees and costs from the Executive for all claims
and suits (including those pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 16) is $25,000. In the event the Company breaches
any portion of this Agreement, the Award Agreements or the Indemnification Agreement, the Executive may recover his attorneys’
fees, expenses, and costs the Executive incurs in any legal action regarding such agreements if he is the prevailing party, capped
at $25,000 in the aggregate, and/or he may recover any and all other damages to which the Executive may be entitled at law or in
equity as a result of any such breach.


 


17.          Entire
Agreement. The Employment Agreement (through the Expiration Date), this Agreement, the Surviving Provisions, the Award
Agreements (to the extent modified herein), the Accrued Rights, the Release, and the Indemnification Agreement constitute the
entire agreement and understanding between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and fully supersede all prior
and contemporaneous negotiations, understandings, representations, writings, discussions, and/or agreements between the Parties,
whether oral or written, pertaining to or concerning the subject matter of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any
purported rights to severance under the Severance Plan or any other severance plan or program of the Company. The Company and
the Executive acknowledge and agree that the Surviving Provisions, Award Agreements, and the Indemnification Agreement shall remain
in full force and effect after the Separation Date and that their respective obligations and duties thereunder are not in any
way modified or superseded by this Agreement, except as otherwise provided specifically by Section 3(d) and Section
4 above. No oral statements or other prior written material not specifically incorporated into this Agreement shall be of
any force and effect. This Agreement may only be amended, modified, or waived with the prior written consent of the Company and
the Executive, and no course of conduct or failure or delay in enforcing the provisions of this Agreement shall be construed as
a waiver of such provisions or affect the validity, binding effect, or enforceability of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

EXECUTION VERSION


 


18.          Code
Section 409A and Section 280G. It is intended that this Agreement shall either be exempt from or comply with the
provisions of Code Section 409A and the regulations and guidance of general applicability issued thereunder so as to not subject
the Executive to the payment of additional interest and taxes under Code Section 409A, and in furtherance of this intent, this
Agreement shall be interpreted, operated, and administered in a manner consistent with these intentions. Any installment payment
to be made pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Code Section 409A to the extent Code
Section 409A applies to such payments. The Company confirms that the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy did not constitute
a change in ownership or control within the meaning of Code Section 280G.


 


19.          Disclaimer
of Reliance. Except for the specific representations expressly made by the Company
in this Agreement, the Executive specifically disclaims that the Executive is relying upon or has relied upon on any communications,
promises, statements, inducements, or representation(s) that may have been made, oral or written, regarding the subject matter
of this Agreement. The Parties represent that they are relying solely and only on their own judgment in entering into this Agreement.


 


20.          No
Waiver. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be construed to be a waiver as to succeeding breaches. The
failure of either Party to insist in any one or more instances upon performance of any terms or conditions of this Agreement shall
not be construed as a waiver of future performance of any such term, covenant, or condition, but the obligations of either Party
with respect thereto shall continue in full force and effect. The breach by one Party to this Agreement shall not preclude equitable
relief or the obligations in Article IV (Restrictive Covenants) of the Employment Agreement.


 


21.          Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered a single instrument.

Executive and the Company are parties to the Agreement; and


 


WHEREAS, Sections

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the mutual promises and covenants set forth herein, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Executive
