SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE


 


4.                 
Disclaimer of Tax Consequences. The Company makes no representations or warranties about the tax consequences of
the Payment described in this Agreement. Executive expressly acknowledges and warrants that he is, and shall be, responsible for all federal,
state, and local tax liabilities that may result from the payments described in Section 3, and he hereby warrants that the Company shall
bear no responsibility for any such tax liabilities. Executive further agrees and acknowledges that he shall indemnify and hold harmless
the Company for any possible federal, state, or local tax liabilities resulting from such payment and that he shall reimburse any taxes,
interest and/or penalties assessed against the Company for any such tax liabilities caused by such payments.


 


5.                 
Transition Services. As consideration and in exchange for the Payment and the promises and covenants of the other
Parties contained herein, Executive agrees to provide, for a period of two (2) months following the Effective Date (the “Transition
Period”), any and all reasonable transition services under the circumstances as may be requested by the Board or the Company’s
Chief Restructuring Officer (the “Transition Services”). Upon request, the Company shall provide Executive with an
affirmation by email, on no more than a weekly basis, that Executive is satisfying the requirement to provide the Transition Services.
Executive hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees that his failure to provide the Transition Services as set forth in this Agreement
as determined by the Company shall result in forfeiture of the Payment. If the Payment is forfeited, Executive shall immediately return
the Payment to the Company, net of any taxes Executive is required to pay on account of the Payment. Executive shall not be required to
provide the Company with any services beyond the Transition Services, such as advisory or consulting services, and any such additional
services, if requested and agreed to, would be subject of a separate agreement. Executive agrees that, in connection with the anticipated
sale process for the Company or substantially all of its assets (the “Sale Process”), he shall neither accept employment
with, nor consult for, any entity that is a bidder for the Company or its assets; provided, however, that such restriction shall
terminate in all respects immediately upon the conclusion or earlier termination of the Sale Process or written consent of the Parties.


 


6.                  Mutual
Releases. In exchange for the covenants and promises contained in this Agreement, the Corporate Parties on one hand and
Executive on the other hand shall, and hereby do, forever and irrevocably release and discharge one another, and, all of each of
their respective parents, divisions, subsidiaries, affiliates, related entities, related funds, managed accounts, officers,
managers, members, employees, agents, predecessors, assigns, and representatives (collectively, the “Related
Parties”), from any and all grievances, claims, demands, debts, defenses, actions or causes of actions, obligations,
damages, and liabilities whatsoever, that any Party now has, has had, or may have, whether the same be at law, in equity, or mixed,
of any kind or nature in any way arising from or relating to Executive’s employment with the Company; provided,
however, that the foregoing release shall not include any claims or causes of action arising from any Party’s fraud, gross
negligence, or willful misconduct. Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that this release includes waiver and discharge of
the Company, ACF, ACC, and their respective Related Parties for any claim relating to the cessation of Executive’s
relationship with the Company, including, but not limited to, claims brought pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,
as amended (42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e-2000e17), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended (29 U.S.C.
 §§ 621-34) (ADEA), the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (29 U.S.C. §§ 1001-461), the

 §§ 701-97), the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (29 U.S.C. §§ 2601-54), the Fair Labor Standards Act (29
U.S.C. 201-19), as well as all wrongful termination claims, breach of contract claims, discrimination claims, harassment claims,
retaliation claims, defamation or other tort claims, and any and all other federal, state, or local constitutional, statutory,
regulatory, or common law causes of action now or hereafter recognized, including claims for attorneys’ fees and costs. This
release is not intended to encompass claims that cannot legally be released by private agreement, such as claims for workers’
compensation or unemployment benefits, nor shall it in any way affect or impair any rights that any Party may have under any
Directors & Officers liability insurance policy. This Agreement is not intended to, and shall not, amend, modify, or supersede
that certain Indemnification Agreement between the Company and Executive, dated October 6, 2021. For the avoidance of doubt,
this releases is not intended to, and shall not, release the Parties from any obligations arising under this Agreement.

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE


 


In waiving and releasing the claims
set forth in this Agreement, whether known or unknown, the Parties understand that this means that if any Party later discovers facts
different from or in addition to those facts currently known by such Party, or believed by such Party to be true, the waivers and releases
of this Agreement will remain effective in all respects despite such different or additional facts and such Party’s later discovery
of such facts, even if such Party would not have agreed to this Agreement if such Party had prior knowledge of such facts.


 


7.             
No Admission. The Parties understand and agree that the Company’s agreement to provide the Payment does not
constitute any admission of liability by the Company or of any improper conduct or wrongdoing by the Company.


 


8.            
Confidentiality. The Parties agree that the terms, existence, and conditions of this Agreement, and the negotiations
and discussions leading thereto (collectively referred to as “Confidential Settlement Information”), shall be confidential
and shall not be disclosed, disseminated, or publicized to anyone except as permitted by this Agreement. The Parties expressly covenant
not to display, publish, disseminate, or disclose Confidential Settlement Information to any person or entity by any means, including
through the Internet. The Parties understand that disclosure of Confidential Settlement Information through social media sites, including
but not limited to, Facebook and Twitter, is a breach of this provision. The duties and obligations of this Paragraph shall not apply
to the following:


 


(a).   
Executive may disclose Confidential Settlement Information to their counsel, financial advisor(s), accountant(s), tax advisor(s),
and government taxing authorities, but only after each such person or entity has first agreed to treat the information as confidential.


 


(b).   
The Company may disclose Confidential Settlement Information to its counsel, accountant(s), tax advisor(s), government taxing authorities,
human resources department, and managers. Disclosure of Confidential Settlement Information to the Company’s employees, as permitted
above, will be limited to legitimate business purposes.


 


(c).    The
Parties may disclose Confidential Settlement Information in response to any subpoena issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or
by a state or federal governmental agency, to enforce the terms of this Agreement, or as otherwise required by law; provided,
however, that Executive will not disclose any Confidential Settlement Information in response to a subpoena or as otherwise
required by law without first notifying the Company in accordance with Paragraph 19, below. The Company shall thereafter have the
opportunity to move to quash the subpoena or otherwise attempt to prevent Executive from having to disclose the Confidential
Settlement Information.

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE


 


(d).   
Nothing in this Agreement prevents or prohibits Executive from initiating communications directly with, responding to any inquiries
from, providing testimony before, providing confidential information to, reporting possible violations of law or regulation, including
alleged criminal conduct or sexual harassment, to, or from filing any type of claim, charge or complaint, or assisting with an investigation
directly with a self-regulatory authority or a government agency or entity, including the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission,
the Department of Labor, the National Labor Relations Board, the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Congress,
and any agency Inspector General (collectively, the “Regulators”), or from making other disclosures that are protected under
the whistleblower provisions of state or federal law or regulation. However, Executive understands and agrees that because he has agreed
to waive and release any and all claims for monetary damages and any other form of personal relief (per Section 6, above), in the event
any Regulator awards any such monetary relief, the Releasees will be entitled to seek an offset for the payments made pursuant to this
Agreement. This Agreement does not limit the right of Executive to receive an award from any Regulator that provides awards for providing
information relating to a potential violation of law.


 


(e).   
Please take notice that federal law provides criminal and civil immunity to federal and state claims for trade secret misappropriation
to individuals who disclose a trade secret to their attorney, a court, or a government official in certain, confidential circumstances
that are set forth at 18 U.S.C. §§ 1833(b)(1) and 1833(b)(2), related to the reporting or investigation of a suspected violation
of the law, or in connection with a lawsuit for retaliation for reporting a suspected violation of the law.


 


9.            
Non-Disparagement. Executive agrees not to make any defamatory or disparaging remarks, whether written, verbal, or
electronic, about the Company, ACF, ACC, or any of their respective officers, managers, members or employees, or to otherwise take any
action that reasonably could be anticipated to cause damage to the reputation, goodwill, or business of the Company, ACF, ACC, or any
of their respective Related Parties, as defined above, whether Executive believes such remarks to be true or whether they are, in fact,
true. Further, Executive agrees not to reference the Company, ACF, or ACC (directly or indirectly) in any chat room, blog, or website
posting, regardless of whether such reference could be considered to be disparaging. The Company, ACF, and ACC likewise agree not to make
any defamatory statement, whether written, verbal, or electronic, about Executive.


 


10.          
No Claims. Executive attests that Executive has filed no lawsuit, administrative complaint or charge, or other claim
against the Company, ACF, ACC or any of their respective agents or employees.


 


11.          Return
of Company Property. Executive represents and covenants that they shall return to the Company all documents, other materials
and property in Executive’s possession, custody or control which refers or relates to the Company’s business, in
whatever form, format or medium including, but not limited to papers, documents, letters, invoices, notes, memoranda, keys, records,
customer and supplier lists, customer and supplier materials or documents, computer hardware and software, computer data, office
equipment, and employment records; provided, however, that Executive shall retain any Company issued laptop computer or
mobile device for the duration of the Transition Period solely for the purpose of providing the Transition Services. At the
conclusion of the Transition Period, Executive shall return any such laptop computer or mobile device to the Company, or otherwise
provide such access to such device(s) as may be necessary, so that the same may be scrubbed and reset, following which, at the
Company’s election, such device(s) may be returned to Executive for their personal use.
