NACKASHI (the “Employee”) and amends that certain Amended and Restated Employment Agreement dated as of July 17, 2017 (together with this Amendment, the “Agreement”), which the Company and Employee hereby agree is in full force and effect as of the date hereof and the terms and conditions of which are incorporated herein by reference.  In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

(“BK”), or in such other capacity as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties. Employee accepts such employment and agrees to undertake and discharge the duties, functions and responsibilities commensurate with the aforesaid position and such other duties and responsibilities as may be prescribed from time to time by the Company or its affiliates. Employee shall be required to comply with the Company’s and its affiliates employee policies applicable to him or her and Company employees generally as from time to time enacted. During the Employment Term, Employee shall devote substantially all business time, attention and effort to the performance of duties hereunder and shall not engage in any business, profession or occupation, for compensation or otherwise without the express written consent of the Company, other than personal, personal investment, charitable, or civic activities or other matters that do not conflict with Employee's duties.”
		2.	Section 4 of the Employment Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the below:

“4.Salary. During the Employment Term, the Company shall pay Employee an annual base salary, before deducting all applicable withholdings, of $750,000 per year, payable at the time and in the manner dictated by the Company's standard payroll policies. Such minimum annual base salary may be periodically reviewed and increased (but not decreased without Employee's express written consent except in the case of a salary decrease for all executive officers of the Company) at the discretion of the Company (such annual base salary, including any increases, the "Annual Base Salary").”
		3.	Section 5(b) of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the below:

established by the Company, BK or the Compensation Committee of BK ("Annual Bonus"). Employee's target Annual Bonus shall be 200% of Employee’s Annual Base Salary and maximum Annual Bonus shall be 400% of Employee’s Annual Base Salary. Employee’s Annual Bonus is subject to the clawback policy of BK, pursuant to which BK may recoup all or a portion of any bonus paid if, after payment, there is a finding of fraud, a restatement of financial results, or errors or omissions that negatively affect or calls into question the business results on which the bonus was based. If owed pursuant to the terms of the plan, the Annual Bonus shall be paid no later than the March 15th first following the calendar year to which the Annual Bonus relates. Except as otherwise provided herein or if the Company, BK or the Compensation Committee of BK determines otherwise, no Annual Bonus shall be paid to Employee unless Employee is employed by the Company on the last day of the measurement period.”

		(v)
	Upon or within the twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control of BK, Employee’s receipt of notice from the Company or BK (or, in each case, any successor entity) that the term of this Agreement will not be renewed, such that the term of this Agreement would expire prior to the two (2) year anniversary of the Effective Time.”


		5.	The last paragraph of Section 8(f) of the Agreement beginning “Notwithstanding the foregoing...” is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee being placed on a paid leave for up to sixty (60) days pending a determination of whether there is a basis to terminate Employee for Cause shall not constitute Good Reason. Employee’s continued employment shall not

​
 ​




constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any act or failure to act constituting Good Reason hereunder; provided, however, that no such event described above shall constitute Good Reason unless: (1) Employee gives Notice of Termination to the Company specifying the condition or event relied upon for such termination within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of such event, (2) the Company fails to cure the condition or event constituting Good Reason within thirty (30) days following receipt of Employee’s Notice of Termination, and (3) Employee terminates employment within ninety (90) days following the expiration of such thirty (30) day period following receipt of Employee’s Notice of Termination.”
		6.	Section 9(a)(iii) of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the below:

		“(iii)
	Subject to Section 26(b) hereof, the Company shall pay Employee as soon as practicable, but not later than the sixty-fifth (65th) day after the Date of Termination, a lump-sum payment equal to 250% of the sum of Employee's (A) Annual Base Salary in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination (disregarding any reduction in Annual Base Salary to which Employee did not expressly consent in writing), and (B) target Annual Bonus in the year in which the Date of Termination occurs.”


		7.	Section 9(a) of the Agreement is hereby supplemented and amended by adding the following provision as Section 9(a)(iv):

		“(iv)
	All stock options, restricted stock and other equity-based incentive awards granted by BK or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, including any Class B Units of Optimal Blue Holdco, LLC, that were outstanding but not vested as of the Date of Termination shall become immediately vested and/or payable, as the case may be, provided, however, that any such equity awards that are vested pursuant to this provision and that constitute an arrangement within the meaning of Code Section 409A shall be paid or settled on the earlier date coinciding with or following the Date of Termination that does not result in a violation of or penalties under Section 409A.”


		8.	Section 16 of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“16.Release. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Company may require that, prior to payment, distribution or other benefit under Section 9 of this Agreement (other than due to Employee's death), Employee shall have executed a complete release of the Company and its affiliates and related parties in substantially the form attached as Exhibit A hereto.”
