**SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS** 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Quarterly Report") contains forward-looking statements about us and our industry that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report, including statements regarding our future results of operations or financial condition, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as "anticipate," "believe," "contemplate," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "should," "target," "will" or "would" or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the timing, progress and results of our investigational programs for MM120, a proprietary, pharmaceutically optimized form of lysergide D-tartrate (LSD), and MM402, also referred to as R(-)-MDMA (together, our "lead product candidates") and any other product candidates (together with our lead product candidates, our "product candidates");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our reliance on the success of our investigational MM120 product candidate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our expectations regarding our cash runway;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the protocols and timing of availability of data from our ongoing Phase 3 clinical program for MM120 orally disintegrating tablet ("ODT") in generalized anxiety disorder ("GAD");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the protocol and timing of availability of data from our ongoing Phase 3 clinical program for MM120 ODT in major depressive disorder ("MDD");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the timing, scope or likelihood of regulatory filings and approvals and our ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approvals for product candidates for any indication;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our expectations regarding the size of the eligible patient populations for our lead product candidates, if approved and commercialized;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our ability to identify third-party treatment sites to conduct our trials and our ability to identify and train appropriate qualified healthcare practitioners to administer our treatments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our ability to implement our business model and our strategic plans for our product candidates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our ability to identify new indications for our lead product candidates beyond our current primary focuses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our ability to achieve profitability and then sustain such profitability;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our commercialization, marketing and manufacturing capabilities and strategy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the pricing, coverage and reimbursement of our lead product candidates, if approved and commercialized;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the rate and degree of market acceptance and clinical utility of our lead product candidates, in particular, and controlled substances, in general;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•future investments in our business, our anticipated capital expenditures and our estimates regarding our capital requirements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our ability to establish or maintain collaborations or strategic relationships or to obtain additional funding;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our expectations regarding potential benefits of our lead product candidates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our ability to maintain effective patent rights and other intellectual property protection for our product candidates, and to prevent competitors from using technologies we consider important in our successful development and commercialization of our product candidates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•infringement or alleged infringement on the intellectual property rights of third parties;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•legislative and regulatory developments in the United States, including individual states, the UK, the European Union and other jurisdictions, including decisions by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and states to reschedule any of our product candidates, if approved, containing Schedule I controlled substances, before they may be legally marketed in the U.S.;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•actions of activist shareholders against us that have previously been and could be disruptive and costly and may result in litigation and have an adverse effect on our business and stock price;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the impact of adverse global economic conditions, including trade policies, public health crises, geopolitical conflicts, fluctuations in interest rates, supply-chain disruptions and inflation, on our financial condition and operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our Amended Loan Agreement (as defined herein) contains certain covenants that could adversely affect our operations and, if an event of default were to occur, we could be forced to repay any outstanding indebtedness sooner than planned and possibly at a time when we do not have sufficient capital to meet this obligation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our expectations regarding our revenue, expenses and other operating results;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the costs and success of our marketing efforts, and our ability to promote our brand;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our reliance on key personnel and our ability to identify, recruit and retain skilled personnel;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our ability to effectively manage our growth; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our ability to compete effectively with existing competitors and new market entrants.

You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and operating results. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors described in the section titled "Risk Factors" previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 6, 2025 (the "2024 Annual Report") and in Part II, Item 1A in this Quarterly Report and the section titled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report. The results, events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur, and actual results, events or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.

In addition, statements that "we believe" and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based on information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report. And while we believe that information provides a reasonable basis for these statements, that information may be limited or incomplete. Our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on these statements.

The forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments.

We may announce material business and financial information to our investors using our investor relations website (https://ir.mindmed.co/). We therefore encourage investors and others interested in our company to review the information that we make available on our website, in addition to following our filings with the SEC, webcasts, press releases and conference calls. Our website and information included in or linked to our website are not part of this Quarterly Report. Unless otherwise noted or the context indicates otherwise, references in this Quarterly Report to the "Company," "MindMed," "we," "us," and "our" refer to Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

**Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc.**

**Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements**

**1.** **DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS**

Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc. (the "Company" or "MindMed") is incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. Its wholly owned subsidiaries, Mind Medicine, Inc. ("MindMed US"), HealthMode, Inc., MindMed Pty Ltd., and MindMed GmbH are incorporated in Delaware, Delaware, Australia and Switzerland respectively. MindMed US was incorporated on May 30, 2019.

MindMed is a late-stage clinical biopharmaceutical company developing novel product candidates to treat brain health disorders. The Company's mission is to be the global leader in the development and delivery of treatments for brain health disorders that unlock new opportunities to improve patient outcomes. The Company is developing a pipeline of innovative product candidates targeting neurotransmitter pathways that play key roles in brain health. This specifically includes pharmaceutically optimized product candidates derived from the psychedelic and empathogen drug classes, including MM120 and MM402, the Company's lead product candidates.

***Liquidity***

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $465.0 million. Through June 30, 2025, the Company's financial support has primarily been provided by proceeds from the issuance of its common shares, no par value per share ("Common Shares") and warrants to purchase Common Shares, and the Company's credit facility.

As the Company continues its expansion, it may seek additional financing and/or strategic investments; however, there can be no assurance that any additional financing or strategic investments will be available to the Company on acceptable terms, if at all. If events or circumstances occur such that the Company does not obtain additional funding, it will most likely be required to reduce its plans and/or certain discretionary spending, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to achieve its intended business objectives. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if it were unable to continue as a going concern. Management believes that it has sufficient cash, cash equivalents and investments to fund operations through at least the next twelve months from the date of the issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

***Emerging Growth Company Status***

The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, and as a result of this election, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") standards' effective dates. The Company may take advantage of these exemptions up until the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the first sale of its common equity securities under an effective Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") registration statement or such earlier time that it is no longer an emerging growth company.

In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position and results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

**2.** **BASIS OF pRESENTATION AND Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

***Basis of Presentation*** 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative U.S. GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification and as amended by Accounting Standards Updates of FASB. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024, which are included in the Company's 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 6, 2025 (the "2024 Annual Report"). The Company's significant accounting policies are disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements for the periods ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, included in the 2024 Annual Report. Since the date of those financial statements, there have been no changes to the Company's significant accounting policies.

------

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Intercompany balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions, are eliminated in preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

***Foreign Currency*** 

Prior to April 1, 2024, the Company's functional currency was the Canadian dollar ("CAD"). Translation gains and losses from the application of the U.S. dollar ("USD") as the reporting currency during the period that the Canadian dollar was the functional currency were included as part of cumulative currency translation adjustment, which is reported as a component of shareholders' equity as accumulated other comprehensive income.

Following the Company's voluntary delisting from Cboe Canada in April 2024, the Company reassessed its functional currency and determined that, as of April 1, 2024, its functional currency had changed from the CAD to the USD.

For periods commencing April 1, 2024, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than USD are remeasured at period-end using the period-end exchange rate. Opening balances related to non-monetary assets and liabilities are based on prior period translated amounts, and non-monetary assets acquired, and non-monetary liabilities incurred after April 1, 2024, are translated at the approximate exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Income and expense accounts are translated at the average rates in effect during the fiscal year. Foreign exchange gains and losses are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

***Cash Equivalents***

The Company considers all investments with an original maturity date at the time of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2025, the Company's cash equivalents consisted of U.S. government money market funds at a high-credit quality and federally insured financial institution. The Company's accounts may, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company had cash equivalents of $29.9 million as of June 30, 2025, and $271.5 million as of December 31, 2024.

***Investments***

All investments have been classified as "available-for-sale" and are carried at fair value as determined based upon quoted market prices or pricing models for similar securities at period end. Investments with contractual maturities within 12 months at the balance sheet date are considered short-term investments. Those investments with contractual maturities greater than 12 months at the balance sheet date are considered long-term investments. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned. Realized gains and losses are included in earnings and are derived using the specific identification method for determining the cost of securities sold. Unrealized gains and losses are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The Company reviews its portfolio of available-for-sale debt securities, using both quantitative and qualitative factors, to determine if declines in fair value below cost have resulted from a credit-related loss or other factors. If the decline in fair value is due to credit-related factors, a loss is recognized in statements of operations, whereas if the decline in fair value is not due to credit-related factors, the loss is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). The fair value of the Company's short-term investments and long-term investments were $149.6 million and $54.9 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2025. The Company had no short-term or long-term investments as of December 31, 2024.

***Net Loss per Share***

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common shareholders (in thousands, except share and per share amounts). As the exercise price of the Company's pre-funded warrants is $0.001 per share, it was determined to be non-substantive for accounting purposes and the pre-funded warrants were included in the denominator of both basic and diluted loss per share:

The net proceeds to the Company from the March 2024 Offering were $93.5 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.

Also on March 7, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain investors, pursuant to which the investors agreed to purchase, and the Company agreed to sell 12,500,000 Common Shares (the "Private Placement Shares"), at a price of $6.00 per Private Placement Share, in a private placement transaction (the "March 2024 Private Placement").

***August 2024 Offering***

On August 9, 2024, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with Leerink Partners LLC and Evercore Group L.L.C., as representatives of the several underwriters named therein, in connection with an underwritten public offering (the "August 2024 Offering") of (i) 9,285,511 Common Shares (the "Shares"), and (ii) to certain investors, pre-funded warrants (the "Pre-Funded Warrants") to purchase 1,428,775 Common Shares (the "Pre-Funded Warrant Shares"). The offering price for the Shares was $7.00 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The offering price for the Pre-Funded Warrants was $6.999 per Pre-Funded Warrant, less underwriting discounts and commissions, which represents the per share public offering price for the Shares less a $0.001 per share exercise price for each such Pre-Funded Warrant.

The net proceeds to the Company from the August 2024 Offering were approximately $70.0 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by the Company. The August 2024 Offering closed on August 12, 2024.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the August 2024 Offering to fund the research and development of its product candidates and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable at any time after the date of issuance. The exercise price and the number of Pre-Funded Warrant Shares are subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain share dividends and distributions, share splits, share combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting the Common Shares as well as upon any distribution of assets, including cash, securities or other property, to the Company's shareholders. The Pre-Funded Warrants will not expire and are exercisable in cash or by means of a cashless exercise. A holder of Pre-Funded Warrants may not exercise such Pre-Funded Warrants if the aggregate number of Common Shares beneficially owned by such holder, together with its affiliates, would exceed more than 4.99% or 9.99% (at the initial election of the holder) of the number of Common Shares outstanding following such exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants. A holder of Pre-Funded Warrants may increase or decrease this percentage not in excess of 19.99% by providing at least 61 days' prior notice to the Company.

***October 2024 Exchange Agreements***

**9.** **STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION**

Prior to March 14, 2025, the Company was authorized to issue such number of equity awards equal to 15% of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Shares under the terms of the MindMed Stock Option Plan (the "Stock Option Plan"), together with Common Shares that were issuable pursuant to outstanding awards or grants under any other compensation or incentive mechanism involving the issuance or potential issuance of Common Shares, including the MindMed Performance and Restricted Share Unit Plan (the "PRSU Plan") and ESPP. The Stock Option Plan and the PRSU Plan were retired effective March 14, 2025, and no further grants will be made under the Stock Option Plan or the PRSU Plan. With the retirement of the Stock Option Plan and the PRSU Plan, the ESPP and any other compensation or incentive mechanism involving the issuance or potential issuance of Common Shares (including inducement grants made outside a plan) are no longer subject to the 15% cap from the Stock Option Plan and PRSU Plan.

In June 2025, the Company adopted the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2025 Plan"), consisting of (a) 4,500,000 Common Shares reserved for issuance under the 2025 Plan, and (b) a maximum of 9,318,090 Common Shares (the "Outstanding Award Shares") consisting of (i) an aggregate of 3,500,979 Common Shares that were subject to outstanding option awards under the Stock Option Plan and (ii) an aggregate of 5,817,111 Common Shares subject to outstanding restricted stock unit ("RSU") awards and performance share unit ("PSU") awards under the PRSU Plan. The Outstanding Award Shares will become available for issuance under the 2025 Plan if and as such awards under the Stock Option Plan and the PRSU are forfeited or otherwise terminated. As of June 30, 2025, 375,935 stock options and no RSUs have been granted under the 2025 Plan.

The Company also grants inducement equity awards consisting of stock options, RSUs or PSUs to newly hired employees as an inducement material to the employees entering into employment with the Company in accordance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(c)(4). All such inducement grants are granted outside of the Company's equity incentive plans and are approved by the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors prior to issuance. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company issued inducement grants consisting of 1,242,550 stock options and 250,000 PSUs. As of June 30, 2025, there were an aggregate of 2,142,900 inducement awards outstanding consisting of (i) 1,832,900 stock options, (ii) 60,000 RSUs and (iii) 250,000 PSUs.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, RSUs granted include 1,973,000 PSUs that vest based on the achievement of certain clinical milestones and require service for 36 months after grant. As of June 30, 2025, the Company has determined that all of these milestones are probable of achievement, which means that the PSUs would vest at 200% or a total of 3,946,000, which is included in "Granted" in the table above. The Company will recognize the related compensation expense for awards that are probable of vesting over the 36 month requisite service period.

The expense recognized related to RSUs during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $3.6 million and $2.7 million, respectively, and $5.4 million and $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

***Employee Share Purchase Plan***

In August 2024, the Company commenced the first offering under the ESPP. Subsequent to this offering, new offerings under the ESPP will commence automatically every six months until the earlier of (i) termination or modification by the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors and (ii) such time when all Common Shares reserved under the ESPP have been issued. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized $0.1 million of expense in relation to its ESPP and issued 34,017 Common Shares under the ESPP.

***Stock-based Compensation Expense***

Stock-based compensation expense for all equity arrangements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was as follows (in thousands):

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Three Months Ended June 30,** | **Three Months Ended June 30,** | **Six Months Ended June 30,** | **Six Months Ended June 30,** |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total | $5253 | $5430 | $8679 | $9119 |

---

------

As of June 30, 2025, there was approximately $17.2 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense, related to unvested options granted to employees under the Stock Option Plan that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.9 years. As of June 30, 2025, there was approximately $34.1 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense, related to RSUs granted to employees under the PRSU Plan that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.8 years.

*Directors' Deferred Share Unit Plan*

On April 16, 2021, the Company adopted the MindMed Director's Deferred Share Unit Plan (the "DDSU Plan"). The DDSU Plan sets out a framework to grant non-employee directors DDSUs, which are cash settled awards. The DDSUs generally vest ratably over twelve months after grant and are settled within 90 days of the date the director ceases service to the Company. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, $0.2 million of stock-based compensation expense was recognized relating to the revaluation of the vested DDSUs, and recorded in general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $0.2 million in stock-based compensation expense was recognized relating to the revaluation of the vested DDSUs. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, $0.6 million of stock-based compensation expense was recognized relating to the revaluation of the vested DDSUs.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company did not issue any additional DDSUs. There were 190,917 DDSUs vested as of June 30, 2025. The liability associated with the outstanding vested DDSU's was $1.3 million as of June 30, 2025, and was recorded to accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

To conform with the current year presentation, certain prior year amounts related to DDSUs expense have been reclassified and separately presented from stock-based compensation on the statement of cash flows.

**10.** **COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES**

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had obligations to make future payments, representing significant research and development contracts and other commitments that are known and committed in the amount of approximately $113.9 million. Most of these agreements are cancelable by the Company with notice. These commitments include agreements related to the conduct of the Company's clinical trials, sponsored research, manufacturing and preclinical studies.

The Company enters into research, development and license agreements in the ordinary course of business where the Company receives research services and rights to proprietary technologies. Milestone and royalty payments that may become due under various agreements are dependent on, among other factors, clinical trials, regulatory approvals and ultimately the successful development of a new drug, the outcome and timing of which are uncertain.

The Company periodically enters into research and license agreements with third parties that include indemnification provisions customary in the industry. These guarantees generally require the Company to compensate the other party for certain damages and costs incurred as a result of claims arising from research and development activities undertaken by or on behalf of the Company. In some cases, the maximum potential amount of future payments that could be required under these indemnification provisions could be unlimited. These indemnification provisions generally survive termination of the underlying agreement. The nature of the indemnification obligations prevents the Company from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount it could be required to pay. Historically, the Company has not made any indemnification payments under such agreements and no amount has been accrued in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements with respect to these indemnification obligations.

During April 2022, the Company entered into a 3-year operating lease for office space located in North Carolina with an expiration date of September 30, 2025. Total lease payments under the lease amounted to approximately $0.2 million. In June 2025, the Company amended the lease. The lease amendment extends the lease term from September 30, 2025 to February 1, 2031, and grants the Company additional space. The Company has rent abatement for the first 5 months of the new lease amendment. Total lease payments under the amended lease are expected to amount to approximately $0.9 million. In June 2025, a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for $0.6 million were recorded on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The right-of-use asset is recorded in other non-current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The current portion of the lease liability is recorded in accrued expenses and the noncurrent portion is recorded in other non-current liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The incremental borrowing rate utilized in the determination of the lease liability was 10.25%.

**11.** **CREDIT FACILITY**

On August 11, 2023, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries party thereto, as co-borrowers (together with the Company, the "Borrowers") entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with K2 HealthVentures LLC ("K2HV"), as administrative agent and Canadian collateral agent for lenders thereunder (K2HV, together with any other lender from time to time, the "Lenders"), and Ankura Trust Company, LLC, as collateral trustee for the Lenders.

On April 18, 2025 (the "Effective Date"), the Borrowers, entered into the First Amendment to the Loan Agreement with K2HV (as amended by the First Amendment, the "Amended Loan Agreement").

The Amended Loan Agreement provides for, among other things: (i) an aggregate principal amount of term loans (the "Amendment Term Loans") of up to $120.0 million, consisting of (A) a new Restatement First Tranche Term Loan (as defined in the Amended Loan Agreement) of $42.0 million, which was funded on the Effective Date, a portion of the proceeds of which was used on the Effective Date to refinance in full all Term Loans outstanding under the Loan Agreement, and to pay fees and expenses in connection with the Amended Loan Agreement and the refinancing of the existing Term Loans, (B) subsequent tranches of Amendment Term Loans totaling up to $28.0 million, subject to the occurrence of certain time-based clinical and regulatory milestones and (C) an additional tranche of Amendment Term Loans of up to $50.0 million upon the Company's request, subject to review by the Lenders of certain information from the Company and discretionary approval by the Lenders, (ii) to the extent any Amendment Term Loans other than the Restatement First Tranche Term Loans are made during the term of the Amended Loan Agreement, a minimum liquidity covenant, beginning on the earlier to occur of (x) July 1, 2026 (which may be extended to July 1, 2027 to the extent the Company has achieved certain fundraising milestones) and (y) the date on which certain clinical and regulatory milestones are not achieved, which covenant shall be waived in any period where the Company's market capitalization exceeds $500.0 million, (iii) a decrease in the interest rate applicable to all Amendment Term Loans under the Amended Loan Agreement to the greater of (x) 10.25% and (y) the sum of (a) the Prime Rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal plus (b) 2.75% per annum, and (iv) a conversion right at the election of the Lenders at any time following the Effective Date and prior to the full repayment of the Amendment Term Loans to convert up to $7.0 million of the outstanding Amendment Term Loans into the Company's common shares (the "Amendment Conversion Shares"), at conversion prices ranging from $4.01 per Amendment Conversion Share to $9.00 per Amendment Conversion Share.

The Amendment Term Loans mature on April 1, 2029, provided that upon the occurrence of certain events the maturity date may be extended to October 1, 2029. The obligations of the Borrowers under the Amended Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Borrowers, excluding intellectual property. Other than as described above, the proceeds of borrowings under the Amended Loan Agreement are expected to be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes and/or to further support commercial activities and/or business development opportunities. Once repaid, the Amendment Term Loans may not be reborrowed. The Company was in compliance with the Amended Loan Agreement as of June 30, 2025.

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 470-50, *Debt Modifications and Extinguishments*, the Company evaluated the Amended Loan Agreement to determine whether it should be accounted for as a modification or extinguishment. As a result of this analysis, the Amended Loan Agreement was accounted for as a modification and no gain or loss was recognized. Transaction costs incurred from or paid on behalf of K2HV of approximately $0.4 million were capitalized as a deferred debt discount and will be amortized over the term of the Amended Loan Agreement. Transaction costs incurred with third parties directly relating to the Amended Loan Agreement were expensed as incurred.

The Company recorded $2.3 million and $2.9 million in interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. These amounts included a $1.7 million final payment in connection with the Amended Loan Agreement and the refinancing of the existing Term Loans.

Future expected repayments of principal amount due on the credit facility as of June 30, 2025 were as follows (in thousands):

| Unamortized debt issuance costs | (940) |
| Accrued final payment fee | 131 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total credit facility, non-current, net | $41191 |

---

As of June 30, 2025, the Company estimated the fair value of the credit facility to be $42.2 million, assuming $1.0 million of principal (the amount of conversion shares in-the-money as of June 30, 2025) is converted into Conversion Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.** **SEGMENT REPORTING**

The Company has one reportable segment related to the research and development of the Company's product candidates.

The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker (the "CODM"), its Chief Executive Officer, reviews the Company's operations, including reviewing budgets and trial-related data, and decides how to allocate resources and assess performance. When evaluating the Company's financial performance, the CODM regularly reviews total expenses and total assets and the CODM makes decisions using this information on a consolidated basis. The CODM uses consolidated net income or loss as a measure of profit or loss in allocating resources and assessing segment performance. In addition to the expense categories included within net income presented on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss, see below for additional expense details that are routinely reviewed by the CODM:

**Overview**

We are a late-stage clinical biopharmaceutical company developing novel product candidates to treat brain health disorders. Our mission is to be the global leader in the development and delivery of treatments for brain health disorders that unlock new opportunities to improve patient outcomes. We are developing a pipeline of innovative product candidates targeting neurotransmitter pathways that play key roles in brain health disorders. This specifically includes pharmaceutically optimized product candidates derived from the psychedelic and empathogen drug classes including MM120 and MM402, our lead product candidates.

Our first lead product candidate, MM120, is a proprietary, pharmaceutically optimized form of lysergide D-tartrate that we are developing for the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder ("GAD") and major depressive disorder ("MDD"). In December 2023, we announced positive topline results from our Phase 2b clinical trial of MM120 for the treatment of GAD. The trial met its primary endpoint, with MM120 demonstrating statistically significant and clinically meaningful dose-dependent improvements on the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale ("HAM-A") compared to placebo at Week 4. In March 2024, we announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") granted breakthrough designation to our MM120 program for the treatment of GAD. We also announced in March 2024 that our Phase 2b clinical trial of MM120 in GAD met its key secondary endpoint, and 12-week topline data demonstrated clinically and statistically significant durability of activity observed through Week 12.

On June 20, 2024, we announced the completion of our End-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA, supporting the advancement of MM120 into pivotal trials for the treatment of adults with GAD. Our Phase 3 clinical program for MM120 orally disintegrating tablet ("ODT") is expected to consist of two clinical trials: the Voyage study (MM120-300) and the Panorama study (MM120-301). Both trials are comprised of two parts: Part A, which is a 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial assessing the efficacy and safety of MM120 ODT versus placebo; and Part B, which is a 40-week extension period during which participants will be eligible for open-label treatment with MM120 ODT, subject to certain conditions for treatment eligibility. Voyage is anticipated to enroll approximately 200 participants (randomized 1:1 to receive MM120 ODT 100 µg or placebo) and Panorama is anticipated to enroll approximately 250 participants (randomized 2:1:2 to receive MM120 ODT 100 µg, MM120 ODT 50 µg or placebo). We expect both trials will utilize an adaptive trial design with a blinded interim sample size re-estimation, allowing for an increase in sample size by up to 50% in each trial in the case of certain parameters. The primary endpoint for each trial is the change from baseline in HAM-A score at Week 12 between MM120 ODT 100 µg and placebo. On December 16, 2024, we announced the initiation of Voyage, with an anticipated topline readout (Part A results) in the first half of 2026. On January 30, 2025, we announced the initiation of Panorama, with an anticipated topline readout (Part A results) in the second half of 2026. Both trials are subject to ongoing regulatory review and discussions, which could result in changes to trial design, including of the Phase 3 clinical trials.

In addition to our Phase 3 clinical program for GAD, we are developing MM120 ODT for the treatment of MDD. In the first quarter of 2024, we held a pre-IND meeting with FDA to discuss the initiation of our Phase 3 clinical program for MM120 ODT in MDD and the trial design for our planned Emerge study (MM120-310), which like our pivotal trials in GAD, will be comprised of two parts: Part A, which is a 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group trial assessing the efficacy and safety of MM120 ODT versus placebo; and Part B, which is a 40-week extension period during which participants will be eligible for open-label treatment with MM120 ODT, subject to certain conditions for treatment eligibility. Emerge is anticipated to enroll at least 140 participants (randomized 1:1 to receive MM120 ODT 100 µg or placebo). The primary endpoint is the change from baseline in Montgomery Åsberg Depression Rating Scale ("MADRS") score at Week 6 between MM120 ODT 100 µg and placebo. On April 15, 2025, we announced the initiation of Emerge, with an anticipated topline readout (Part A results) in the second half of 2026. We expect to conduct a second Phase 3 pivotal trial in MDD, with the trial design and timing to be informed by the progress from Emerge and additional regulatory discussions.

------

Our second lead product candidate, MM402, also referred to as R(-)-MDMA, is our proprietary form of the R-enantiomer of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine ("MDMA"), which we are developing for the treatment of autism spectrum disorder ("ASD"). MDMA is a synthetic molecule that is often referred to as an empathogen because it is reported to increase feelings of connectedness and compassion. Preclinical studies of R(-)-MDMA demonstrated its acute pro-social and empathogenic effects, while its diminished dopaminergic activity suggests that it has the potential to exhibit less stimulant activity, neurotoxicity, hyperthermia and abuse liability compared to racemic MDMA or the S(+)-enantiomer. In October 2024, we completed our first clinical trial of MM402, a single-ascending dose trial in adult healthy volunteers. The data from this Phase 1 clinical trial helped to characterize the tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of MM402. We expect to initiate further trials of MM402 for the treatment of ASD, with the exact timing and scope of such trials to be determined.

Beyond our clinical stage product candidates, we are exploring additional programs, including through external collaborations, which we seek to expand our drug development pipeline and broaden the potential applications of our lead product candidates. These research and development programs include non-clinical, pre-clinical and human clinical trials of current and new product candidates and research compounds with our collaborators.

Our business is premised on a growing body of research supporting the use of novel psychoactive compounds to treat a myriad of brain health disorders. For all product candidates, we intend to proceed through research and development, and with marketing of the product candidates that may ultimately be approved pursuant to the regulations of the FDA and the regulations in other jurisdictions. This entails, among other things, conducting clinical trials with research scientists, using internal and external clinical drug development teams, producing and supplying product candidates according to current Good Manufacturing Practices ("cGMP"), and conducting all trials and development in accordance with the regulations of the FDA, and other regulations in other jurisdictions.

We were incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. Our wholly owned subsidiary, Mind Medicine, Inc. ("MindMed US") was incorporated in Delaware. Prior to February 27, 2020, our operations were conducted through MindMed US.

Since inception, we have incurred losses while advancing the research and development of our products and processes. Our net losses were $42.7 million and $66.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, and $5.9 million and $60.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $465.0 million and an aggregate of $237.9 million of cash, cash equivalents and investments.

On April 18, 2025 (the "Effective Date"), we and certain of our subsidiaries party thereto, as co-borrowers (together with us, the "Borrowers"), entered into the First Amendment to that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of August 11, 2023, by and among the Borrowers, the lenders referred to therein (the "Lenders"), K2 HealthVentures LLC, as administrative agent and Canadian collateral agent for the Lenders, and Ankura Trust Company, LLC, as collateral trustee for the Lenders (as amended by the First Amendment, the "Amended Loan Agreement").

The Amended Loan Agreement provides for, among other things: (i) an aggregate principal amount of term loans (the "Term Loans") of up to $120.0 million, consisting of (A) a new Restatement First Tranche Term Loan (as defined in the Amended Loan Agreement) of $42.0 million, which was funded on the Effective Date, a portion of the proceeds of which was used on the Effective Date to refinance in full all term loans outstanding under the original Loan Agreement, and to pay fees and expenses in connection with the Amended Loan Agreement and the refinancing of the existing term loans, (B) subsequent tranches of Term Loans totaling up to $28.0 million, subject to the occurrence of certain time-based clinical and regulatory milestones and (C) an additional tranche of Term Loans of up to $50.0 million upon our request, subject to review by the Lenders of certain information from us and discretionary approval by the Lenders, (ii) to the extent any Term Loans other than the Restatement First Tranche Term Loans are made during the term of the Amended Loan Agreement, a minimum liquidity covenant, beginning on the earlier to occur of (x) July 1, 2026 (which may be extended to July 1, 2027 to the extent we have achieved certain fundraising milestones) and (y) the date on which certain clinical and regulatory milestones are not achieved, which covenant shall be waived in any period where our market capitalization exceeds $500.0 million, (iii) a decrease in the interest rate applicable to all Term Loans under the Amended Loan Agreement to the greater of (x) 10.25% and (y) the sum of (a) the Prime Rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal plus (b) 2.75% per annum, and (iv) a conversion right at the election of the Lenders at any time following the Effective Date and prior to the full repayment of the Term Loans to convert up to $7.0 million of the outstanding Term Loans into our common shares (the "Conversion Shares"), at conversion prices ranging from $4.01 per Conversion Share to $9.00 per Conversion Share.

The Term Loans mature on April 1, 2029, provided that upon the occurrence of certain events the maturity date may be extended to October 1, 2029. The obligations of the Borrowers under the Amended Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Borrowers, excluding intellectual property.

Other than as described above, the proceeds of borrowings under the Amended Loan Agreement are expected to be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes and/or to further support commercial activities and/or business development opportunities. Once repaid, the Term Loans may not be reborrowed. For additional information, please refer to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 21, 2025.

**Components of Operating Results**

***Operating Expenses***

*Research and Development* 

Research and development expenses account for a significant portion of our operating expenses. Research and development expenses consist primarily of direct and indirect costs incurred for the development of our product candidates.

External expenses include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•payments to third parties in connection with the clinical development of our product candidates, including licensing fees and fees to contract research organizations and consultants;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the cost of manufacturing products for use in our preclinical studies and clinical trials, including payments to contract manufacturing organizations and consultants;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•payments to third parties in connection with the preclinical development of our product candidates, including outsourced professional scientific development services, consulting research fees and sponsored research arrangements with third parties; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•allocated operational expenses, which include direct or allocated expenses for information technologies and human resources.

We may also incur in-process research and development expenses as we acquire or in-license assets from other parties. Technology acquisitions are expensed or capitalized based upon the asset achieving technological feasibility in accordance with management's assessment regarding the ultimate recoverability of the amounts paid and the potential for alternative future use. Acquired in-process research and development costs that have no alternative future use are immediately expensed.

------

Internal expenses include employee-related costs such as salaries, related benefits and non-cash stock-based compensation expense for employees engaged in research and development functions.

We expect our research and development expenses to increase for the foreseeable future as we continue the clinical development of our product candidates and other preclinical programs in GAD, MDD, ASD and other potential or future indications, including initiating additional clinical trials.

*General and Administrative* 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation costs, including stock-based compensation, for executive management and administrative employees, including finance and accounting, legal, human resources and other administrative functions, professional services fees, advisory and professional service fees in connection with financing transactions, insurance expenses and allocated expenses.

We expect our general and administrative expenses to continue to increase for the foreseeable future as we continue to advance our research and development programs, grow our business and, if any of our product candidates receive marketing approval, commence commercialization activities.

\* MM120 other consists of expenses that support the broader MM120 program, including nonclinical studies and consulting expenses.

Research and development expenses of $29.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased by $15.2 million, or 104%, compared to $14.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to increases of $14.5 million in expenses related to our MM120 program, an increase of $1.5 million in internal personnel costs as a result of increasing research and development capacities, an increase of $0.2 million in preclinical and other program expenses, partially offset by a decrease of $1.0 million in MM402 program expenses.

Research and development expenses of $53.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased by $26.8 million, or 102%, compared to $26.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to increases of $23.9 million in expenses related to our MM120 program, an increase of $3.9 million in internal personnel costs as a result of increasing research and development capacities, an increase of $0.3 million in expenses related to preclinical activities, partially offset by a decrease of $1.3 million in expenses related to our MM402 program.

*General and Administrative*

General and administrative expenses of $11.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased by $1.3 million, or 13%, compared to $9.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in personnel-related expenses related to additional headcount.

General and administrative expenses of $19.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 decreased by $0.4 million, or 2%, compared to $20.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to additional allocations of general and administrative expenses to research and development.

***Other Income (Expense)***

Other expense of $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased by $20.4 million compared to other income of $18.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by a change in fair value on the 2022 USD Financing Warrants and increased interest expense which included the final payment of $1.7 million in connection with the Amended Loan Agreement and the refinancing of the existing Term Loans.

Other income of $7.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, increased by $20.6 million compared to other expense of $13.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by a change in fair value on the 2022 USD

------

Financing Warrants, which was partially offset by the gain on extinguishment of contribution payable in 2024 and increased interest expense in 2025.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources** 

***Sources of Liquidity***

Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily from the issuance of equity and debt under our Amended Loan Agreement. Our primary capital needs are for funds to support our scientific research and development activities including staffing, manufacturing, preclinical studies, clinical trials, administrative costs and for working capital.

We have experienced operating losses and cash outflows from operations since inception and will require ongoing financing in order to continue our research and development activities. We have not earned any revenue or reached commercialization of any of our product candidates. Our future operations are dependent upon our ability to finance our cash requirements which will allow us to continue our research and development activities and the commercialization of our product candidates, if approved. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in continuing to finance our operations.

Our cash, cash equivalents, and investments and our working capital at June 30, 2025, were $237.9 million and $151.2 million, respectively. Based on our current operating plan and anticipated R&D milestones, we believe that our cash, cash equivalents and investments as of June 30, 2025 will be sufficient to fund our operations into 2027 and at least 12 months beyond the first Phase 3 topline data readout for MM120 in GAD.

On March 7, 2024, we entered into an underwriting agreement with Leerink Partners LLC and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., as representatives of the underwriters named therein, in connection with the offering of 16,666,667 of our common shares, no par value per share ("Common Shares), at an offering price of $6.00 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions (the "March 2024 Offering").

The net proceeds from the March 2024 Offering were approximately $93.5 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by us.

Also on March 7, 2024, we entered into a purchase agreement with certain investors, pursuant to which such investors agreed to purchase, and we agreed to sell 12,500,000 Common Shares at a price of $6.00 per share, in a private placement (the "March 2024 Private Placement").

The net proceeds from the March 2024 Private Placement were $70.1 million, after deducting fees and expenses payable.

We intend to use the net proceeds from the March 2024 Offering and the March 2024 Private Placement for (i) the research and development of our product candidates and (ii) working capital and general corporate purposes.

On June 28, 2024, we entered into a sales agreement with Leerink Partners LLC (the "Sales Agreement") to create an at-the-market equity program under which we from time to time may offer and sell the ATM Shares (as defined below), through or to the Agent. We also filed a prospectus supplement on June 28, 2024 allowing for up to $150.0 million of Common Shares (the "ATM Shares") to be sold under the Sales Agreement.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, the Agent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the ATM Shares from time to time, based upon our instructions. The Agent will be entitled to a commission of up to 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from each sale of the ATM Shares effectuated through or to the Agent.

We have no obligation to sell any of the ATM Shares and may, at any time suspend offers under the Sales Agreement or terminate the Sales Agreement.

On August 9, 2024, we entered into an underwriting agreement with Leerink Partners LLC and Evercore Group L.L.C., as representatives of the several underwriters named therein, in connection with an offering of (i) Common Shares, and (ii) to certain investors, pre-funded warrants to purchase Common Shares (the "August 2024 Offering"). The offering price for the common shares was $7.00 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The offering price for the pre-funded warrants was $6.999 per pre-funded warrant, which represents the per share public offering price for the Common Shares less a $0.001 per share exercise price for each such pre-funded warrant.

------

The net proceeds from the August 2024 Offering were approximately $70.0 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by us.

We intend to use the net proceeds from the August 2024 Offering to fund the research and development of our product candidates and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

On August 11, 2023, we entered into the Loan Agreement. On April 18, 2025, we entered into the Amended Loan Agreement. The Amended Loan Agreement provides for, among other things, an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of up to $120.0 million, consisting of (A) a new Restatement First Tranche Term Loan (as defined in the Amended Loan Agreement) of $42.0 million, which was funded on the Effective Date, a portion of the proceeds of which was used on the Effective Date to refinance in full all term loans outstanding under the original Loan Agreement, and to pay fees and expenses in connection with the Amended Loan Agreement and the refinancing of the existing Term Loans, (B) subsequent tranches of Term Loans totaling up to $28.0 million, subject to the occurrence of certain time-based clinical and regulatory milestones and (C) an additional tranche of Term Loans of up to $50.0 million upon our request, subject to review by the Lenders of certain information from us and discretionary approval by the Lenders.

***Future Funding Requirements***

To date, we have not generated any revenue. We do not expect to generate any meaningful revenue unless and until we obtain regulatory approval of and commercialize any of our product candidates, and we do not know when, or if at all, that will occur. We will continue to require substantial additional capital to develop our product candidates and to fund operations for the foreseeable future. Moreover, we expect our expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we continue the development of and seek regulatory approvals for our product candidates. Further, we are subject to all the risks incident in the development of new pharmaceutical products, and we may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other unknown factors that may harm our business. Our expenses will increase if, and as, we:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•advance our product candidates through preclinical and clinical development;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•seek regulatory approvals for any product candidates that successfully complete clinical trials;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•seek to discover and develop additional product candidates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•establish a sales, marketing, medical affairs, and distribution infrastructure to commercialize any product candidates for which we may obtain marketing approval and intend to commercialize on our own or jointly; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•expand our operational, financial and management systems and increase personnel, including personnel to support our development, manufacturing, and commercialization efforts and our operations as a public company.

Based on our current operating plan and anticipated R&D milestones, we believe that our cash, cash equivalents and investments as of June 30, 2025 will be sufficient to fund our operations into 2027 and at least 12 months beyond the first Phase 3 topline data readout for MM120 in GAD. However, our forecast of the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations is a forward-looking statement that involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary materially. In order to complete the development of our product candidates and to build the sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure that we believe will be necessary to commercialize our product candidates, if approved, we will require substantial additional funding. Until we can generate a sufficient amount of revenue from the commercialization of our product candidates, we may seek to raise any necessary additional capital through the sale of equity, debt financings or other capital sources, which could include income from collaborations, strategic partnerships or marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements with third parties or from grants. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our shareholders will be or could be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common shareholders. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, including restricting our operations and limiting our ability to incur liens, issue additional debt, pay dividends, repurchase our Common Shares, make certain investments or engage in merger, consolidation, licensing or asset sale transactions. If we raise funds through collaborations, strategic partnerships and other similar arrangements with third parties, we may be required to grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves. We may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such agreements or arrangements on favorable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional funds when needed, we may be required to delay, reduce or eliminate our product development or future commercialization efforts. We have based our projections of operating capital requirements on our current operating plan, which is based on several assumptions that may prove to be incorrect and we may use all of our available capital resources sooner than we expect. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with research, development and commercialization of product candidates, we are unable to estimate the exact amount and timing of our working capital requirements. Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the scope, progress, results and costs of researching and developing our product candidates, and conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the costs, timing and outcome of regulatory review of our product candidates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the costs of future activities, including building a commercial organization, product sales, medical affairs, marketing, manufacturing and distribution, for any of our product candidates for which we receive marketing approval;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the costs of manufacturing commercial-grade products and sufficient inventory to support commercial launch;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the revenue, if any, received from commercial sale of our products, should any of our product candidates receive marketing approval;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the cost and timing of hiring new employees to support our continued growth;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property rights and defending intellectual property-related claims;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the ability to establish and maintain collaborations on favorable terms, if at all;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the extent to which we acquire or in-license other product candidates and technologies; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the timing, receipt and amount of sales of, or milestone payments related to or royalties on, our product candidates.

**Contractual Obligations and Contingencies**

See Note 10 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements located in "Part I – Financial Information, Item 1. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" in this Quarterly Report for a description of our contractual obligations and contingencies.

**Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates**

Our management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2025, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and on a basis consistent with those accounting principles followed by us and disclosed in Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements in the 2024 Annual Report. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires our management to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenue generated and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these judgments and estimates under different assumptions or conditions and any such differences may be material.

Other than as described under Note 2 of our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those described in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," included in our 2024 Annual Report.

**Recent Accounting Pronouncements** 

See Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements located in "Part I – Financial Information, Item 1. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" in this Quarterly Report for a description of recent accounting pronouncements applicable to our financial statements.

**Emerging Growth Company Status**

We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies.

We have elected to use this extended transition period to enable us to comply with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our first sale of common equity securities under an effective Securities Act of 1933 registration statement or such earlier time that we no longer are an emerging growth company. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

**Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.** 

As a "smaller reporting company" as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide the information required by this item.

**Item 4. Controls and Procedures.** 

***Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures***

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of June 30, 2025, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation with the participation of management of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2025.

***Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting*** 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

***Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls***

A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. In addition, the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

<u>Barrow Executive Employment Agreement</u>

On July 30, 2025, following the approval of the Compensation Committee (the "Compensation Committee") of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"), the Company entered into a new Executive Employment Agreement with Robert Barrow, our Chief Executive Officer and a director (the "Barrow Agreement"). The Barrow Agreement supersedes the Executive Employment Agreement, dated November 9, 2022, between the Company and Mr. Barrow.

Under the terms of the Barrow Agreement, Mr. Barrow's annual base salary is $655,000 and Mr. Barrow is eligible for a discretionary annual cash bonus with a target of 50% (the "Annual Bonus") of Mr. Barrow's then-current base salary (the "CEO Target Amount"). Under the Barrow Agreement, Mr. Barrow's eligibility for the Annual Bonus will be based upon the Board's assessment of the attainment of individual and corporate performance goals as determined by the Board in its sole discretion.

Pursuant to the terms of the Barrow Agreement, Mr. Barrow's employment is at will and may be terminated at any time by the Company or Mr. Barrow. If Mr. Barrow's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined in the Barrow Agreement) or if Mr. Barrow resigns for Good Reason (as defined in the Barrow Agreement) in either case not within 12 months following the effective date of a Change in Control (as defined in the Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc. Stock Option Plan (the "Stock Option Plan")), then Mr. Barrow would be eligible to receive the following severance benefits, less applicable withholdings and deductions (the "Non-CIC Severance Benefits"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•payment of his then-current base salary in accordance with normal payroll procedures for 12 months;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•payment or reimbursement of continued health coverage for Mr. Barrow and his dependents under COBRA for up to 12 months; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•if the termination or resignation occurs after the completion of the Company's fiscal year, but before any bonuses are paid for such fiscal year, Mr. Barrow will be eligible for a bonus for the completed fiscal year, dependent upon the actual achievement of the applicable individual and corporate performance goals, as determined by the Board in its reasonable discretion.

Under the Barrow Agreement, if Mr. Barrow's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or if Mr. Barrow resigns for Good Reason, in either case within 12 months following the effective date of a Change in Control, then Mr. Barrow would

------

be entitled to the following severance benefits, less applicable withholdings and deductions (the "CIC Severance Benefits," together with the Non-CIC Severance Benefits, the "Severance Benefits"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•payment of his then-current base salary in accordance with normal payroll procedures for 24 months;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•payment or reimbursement of continued health coverage for Mr. Barrow and his dependents under COBRA for up to 24 months;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•if the termination or resignation occurs after the completion of the Company's fiscal year, but before any bonuses are paid, (a) a lump sum cash payment of 100% of the CEO Target Amount for the year in which the termination occurs and (b) an amount equal to the CEO Target Amount prorated for the portion of the year in which Mr. Barrow is employed; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the vesting and exercisability of all outstanding equity awards held by Mr. Barrow immediately prior to the termination date that are subject to time-based vesting requirements (if any) will be accelerated in full.

Payment of the Severance Benefits is subject to Mr. Barrow signing and delivering to the Company a separation agreement containing a general release of claims in favor of the Company. Under the Barrow Agreement, if Mr. Barrow's employment is terminated for Cause or Mr. Barrow resigns without Good Reason, Mr. Barrow will not receive any Severance Benefits.

<u>Karlin Executive Employment Agreement</u>

On July 30, 2025, following the approval of the Compensation Committee, the Company entered into a new Executive Employment Agreement with Daniel Karlin, M.D., our Chief Medical Officer (the "Karlin Agreement"). The Karlin Agreement supersedes the Executive Employment Agreement, dated November 9, 2022, between the Company and Dr. Karln.

The Karlin Agreement is substantially similar to the Barrow Agreement, except that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Dr. Karlin's base salary is $510,000;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Dr. Karlin's annual target for his annual bonus is 40% of his then-current base salary;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•if Dr. Karlin's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined in the Karlin Agreement) or Dr. Karlin resigns for Good Reason (as defined in the Karlin Agreement), in either case not within 12 months following the effective date of a Change in Control (as defined in the Stock Option Plan), then Dr. Karlin is entitled to receive the same Non-CIC Severance Benefits as Mr. Barrow, but Dr. Karlin will receive payment of his then-current base salary for nine months and payment or reimbursement of continued health coverage for Dr. Karlin and his dependents under COBRA for up to nine months; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•if Dr. Karlin's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or Dr. Karlin resigns for Good Reason, in either case within 12 months following the effective date of a Change in Control, then Dr. Karlin is entitled to receive the same CIC Severance Benefits as Mr. Barrow, but Dr. Karlin will receive payment of his then-current base salary for 12 months and payment or reimbursement of continued health coverage for Dr. Karlin and his dependents under COBRA for up to 12 months.

<u>Sullivan Executive Employment Agreement</u>

On July 30, 2025, following the approval of the Compensation Committee, the Company entered into a new Executive Employment Agreement with Mark R. Sullivan, our Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary (the "Sullivan Agreement," together with the Barrow Agreement and the Karlin Agreement, the "Employment Agreements"). The Sullivan Agreement supersedes the Executive Employment Agreement, dated April 13, 2023, between the Company and Mr. Sullivan.

Mr. Sullivan's Employment Agreement is substantially similar to the Karlin Agreement, except that Mr. Sullivan's base salary is $485,000.

## Exhibit 10.1

***Exhibit 10.1***

**EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT**

This **Executive Employment Agreement** (the "***Agreement***") is entered into effective May 27, 2025 (the "***Effective Date***"), by and between Brandi L. Roberts (the "***Executive***") and Mind Medicine (MindMed), Inc. (the "***Company***").

The Company desires to employ Executive and, in connection therewith, to compensate the Executive for Executive's personal services to the Company.

The Executive wishes to be employed by the Company and provide personal services and certain covenants to the Company in return for certain compensation and benefits.

Accordingly, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, the parties agree to the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.** **Employment by the Company.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.1** **<u>Position; Duties</u>**. Subject to the terms set forth herein, the Company agrees to employ Executive in the position of Chief Financial Officer, and Executive hereby accepts such employment. During the term of Executive's employment with the Company, Executive will devote Executive's best efforts, business time and attention to the business of the Company. Executive's principal workplace shall be San Diego, California, or such other location within the United States as requested by Executive and agreed upon Company. Executive will report to the Company's Chief Executive Officer ("***CEO***") or CEO's designee. Executive will perform such duties as are normally associated with Executive's position, as assigned from time to time, subject to the oversight and direction of the CEO or the CEO's designee. The Executive shall make such business trips to such places as may be reasonably necessary or advisable for the Company. Executive's start date will be June 2, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.2** **<u>Company Policies</u>**. The employment relationship between the parties shall be subject to the Company's personnel policies and procedures as they may be interpreted, adopted, revised or deleted from time to time in the Company's sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the terms of this Agreement differ from, or are in conflict with, the Company's employment policies or practices, this Agreement shall control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.3** **<u>Expense Reimbursement</u>**. The Company will reimburse Executive for reasonable business expenses in accordance with the Company's standard expense reimbursement policy, as the same may be modified by the Company's Board of Directors (the "***Board***") from time to time. The Company shall reimburse Executive for all customary and appropriate business-related expenses actually incurred and documented in accordance with Company policy, as in effect from time to time. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that any reimbursements payable to Executive are subject to the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "***Code***"): (a) any such reimbursements will be paid no later than December 31 of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred, (b) the amount of expenses reimbursed in one year will not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement in any subsequent year, and (c) the right to reimbursement under this Agreement will not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.** **Compensation and Benefits.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.1** **<u>Salary</u>**. Executive shall receive for Executive's services to be rendered hereunder a base salary of $495,000 on an annualized basis, subject to review and adjustment by the Company in its sole discretion, and payable subject to standard federal and state payroll withholding requirements in accordance with the Company's standard payroll practices ("***Base Salary***").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.2** **<u>Annual Discretionary Bonus</u>**. Executive will be eligible for a discretionary annual (fiscal year) cash bonus with a target of forty percent (40%) of Executive's then current Base Salary, subject to review and adjustment from time to time by the Company in its sole discretion, payable subject to standard payroll withholding requirements ("***Target Bonus***"). Whether or not Executive receives any bonus will be dependent upon (a) the actual achievement by Executive and the Company of the applicable individual and corporate performance goals, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, and (b) Executive's continuous performance of services to the Company through the date any such bonus is paid. The bonus may be greater or lesser than the Target Bonus and may be zero. The annual period over which performance is measured for purposes of this bonus is the Company's fiscal year, January 1 through December 31 and the Company shall pay the bonus, if any, no later than March 15<sup>th</sup> immediately following the end of the applicable fiscal year. The Board will determine in its sole discretion the extent to which each of Executive and the Company has achieved the performance goals upon which the bonus is based and the amount of the bonus, if any. In the event the Executive leaves the employ of the Company for any reason prior to payment of any bonus, Executive is not eligible for such bonus, prorated or otherwise, except as provided in Section 6 below. Executive will be eligible for a pro-rated bonus for 2025 based on the percentage of 2025 that Executive is a full time employee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.3** **<u>Equity</u>**<u>.</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)** **Stock Option**. Subject to approval by the Compensation Committee of the Board, the Company anticipates granting Executive an option to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company's Common Shares (the "***Option***"). The Option will vest over four years, with 25% of the shares vesting on the first anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date (as defined in the award agreement), and 1/36th of the remaining shares vesting per month thereafter over 36 months, subject to Executive's continuous service with the Company on each such vesting date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b)** **Performance Stock Units**. Subject to approval by the Board, the Company anticipates granting Executive 125,000 performance stock units ("***PSUs***"), pursuant to the terms and conditions of the PSU award agreement entered into between Executive and the Company. The PSUs will vest based on the achievement of performance criteria set forth in the PSU award agreement over a three-year performance measurement period and threshold, target and stretch performance multipliers of 0.5x, 1.0x and 2.0x, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(c)** **Inducement Grants**. The Option and PSUs are being granted to Executive pursuant to the inducement grant exception under Nasdaq Rule 5635(c)(4) and not pursuant to any of the Company's equity incentive plans, as an inducement that is material to Executive's employment with the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.4** **<u>Benefits</u>**. Executive will be eligible to participate on the same basis as similarly situated employees in the Company's benefit plans in effect from time to time during Executive's employment. All matters of eligibility for coverage or benefits under any benefit plan shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of such plan. The Company reserves the right to change, alter, or terminate any benefit plan in its sole discretion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.** **<u>Confidential Information and Restrictive Covenants</u>**. As a condition of employment, Executive agrees to execute and abide by the Employee Confidential Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement attached as Exhibit A ("***Confidential Information Agreement***"), which may be amended by the parties from time to time without regard to this Agreement. The Confidential Information Agreement contains provisions that are intended by the parties to survive and do survive termination of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.** **<u>Outside Activities</u>**. Except with the prior written consent of the CEO, Executive will not, while employed by the Company, undertake or engage in any other employment, occupation or business enterprise that would interfere with Executive's responsibilities and the performance of Executive's duties hereunder except for (i) reasonable time devoted to volunteer services for or on behalf of such religious, educational, non-profit and/or other charitable organization as Executive may wish to serve, (ii) reasonable time devoted to activities in the non-profit and business communities consistent with Executive's duties, and (iii) such other activities as may be specifically approved in writing by the CEO or the Board (including those activities approved by the Board on or around the Effective Date). This restriction shall not, however, preclude the Executive (x) from owning less than one percent (1%) of the total outstanding shares of a publicly traded company, or (y) from employment or service in any capacity with Affiliates of the Company. As used in this Agreement, "***Affiliates***" means an entity under common management or control with the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.** **<u>No Conflict with Existing Obligations</u>**. Executive represents that Executive's performance of all the terms of this Agreement and service as an Executive of the Company do not and will not breach any agreement or obligation of any kind made prior to Executive's employment by the Company, including agreements or obligations Executive may have with prior employers or entities for which Executive has provided services. Executive has not entered into, and Executive agrees that Executive will not enter into, any agreement or obligation, either written or oral, in conflict herewith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.** **<u>Termination of Employment</u>**. The parties acknowledge that Executive's employment relationship with the Company is at-will. Either Executive or the Company may terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without Cause, subject to the notice requirements set forth in Section 6.5. The provisions in this Section 6 govern the amount of compensation, if any, to be provided to Executive upon termination of employment and do not alter this at-will status.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.1** **<u>Termination by the Company without Cause; Resignation for Good Reason</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)**The Company shall have the right to terminate Executive's employment with the Company pursuant to this Section 6.1 at any time without "Cause" (as defined in Section 6.2(b) below) by giving notice as described in Sections 6.5 and 7.1 of this Agreement. A termination pursuant to Sections 6.2, 6.3, or 6.4 below is not a termination without Cause for purposes of receiving the benefits described in this Section 6.1.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b)**Executive shall have the right to resign from Executive's employment for Good Reason (as defined in this Section 6.1) by following the notice and cure process outlined in this Section 6.1, provided that the circumstance creating Good Reason is not cured by the Company pursuant to this Section 6.1.

The Company will pay Executive any bonus awarded for the completed fiscal year, less applicable withholdings and deductions, payable in a lump sum on the later of (x) the date that annual performance bonuses are normally paid to other Executives at the Company for that fiscal year or (y) within five (5) days following the Release Effective Date, but in no event later than March 15 the year immediately following the year in which the termination or resignation occurs.

Additionally, Executive will be entitled to an amount equal to the Target Bonus payment for the year in which the termination without Cause or resignation for Good Reason occurs during the Change in Control Measurement Period, prorated for the portion of the year in which Executive is employed, subject to standard deductions and withholdings, which will be paid in a lump sum on the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive's date of Separation from Service.

***Exhibit 10.1***

a "change in control event" under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)) is a termination or resignation during the "***Change in Control Measurement Period***."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(e)**Executive will be paid all of the Accrued Obligations on the Company's first payroll date after Executive's date of termination from employment or earlier if required by law. Executive shall only receive the Severance Benefits if: (i) by the 60th day following the date of Executive's Separation from Service, Executive has signed and delivered to the Company a separation agreement containing an effective, general release of claims in favor of the Company and its affiliates and representatives, in a form presented by the Company that includes, among other terms, a general release of claims and non-disparagement in favor of the Company and its affiliates and representatives (the "***Release***"), and which cannot be revoked in whole or part by such date (the date that the Release can no longer be revoked is referred to as the "***Release Effective Date***"); (ii) Executive returns all Company property; (iii) Executive is in compliance with Executive's post-termination obligations under this Agreement and the Confidential Information Agreement when any such Severance Benefits are due and payable; and (iv) Executive complies with the terms of the Release, including without limitation any non-disparagement and confidentiality provisions contained in the Release. To the extent that any of the Severance Benefits are deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code, and are not otherwise exempt from the application of Section 409A, then, if the period during which Executive may consider and sign the Release spans two calendar years, the payment of the Severance Benefits will not be made or begin until the later calendar year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(f)**For purposes of this Agreement, "***Accrued Obligations***" are (i) Executive's accrued but unpaid salary through the date of termination, (ii) any unreimbursed business expenses incurred by Executive payable in accordance with the Company's standard expense reimbursement policies, and (iii) benefits owed to Executive under any qualified retirement plan or health and welfare benefit plan in which Executive was a participant in accordance with applicable law and the provisions of such plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(g)**The Severance Benefits provided to Executive pursuant to Section 6.1(c) are in lieu of, and not in addition to, any benefits to which Executive may otherwise be entitled under any Company severance plan, policy or program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(h)**Any damages caused by the termination of Executive's employment without Cause would be difficult to ascertain; therefore, the Severance Benefits for which Executive is eligible pursuant to this Section 6.l in exchange for the Release is agreed to by the parties as liquidated damages, to serve as full compensation, and not a penalty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(i)**For purposes of this Agreement, "***Good Reason***" shall mean the occurrence of any of the following conditions without Executive's consent, after Executive's provision of written notice to the Company of the existence of such condition (which notice must be provided as described in Section 7.1 within thirty (30) days of the initial existence of the condition and must specify the particular condition in reasonable detail), provided that the Company has not first provided notice to Executive of its intent to terminate Executive's employment: (i) a material reduction in Executive's Base Salary except pursuant to a salary reduction program affecting substantially all of the employees of the Company, provided, that it does not adversely affect the Executive to a greater extent than other similarly situated employees and, provided further, that any reduction in Executive's Base Salary of more than ten percent (10%) shall constitute Good Reason ; (ii) the relocation of Executive's principal place of employment by fifty

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Good Reason shall only exist if the Company is provided a thirty (30) day period to cure the event or condition giving rise to Good Reason, and it fails to do so within that cure period (and, additionally, Executive must resign for such Good Reason condition by giving notice as described in Section 7.1 within thirty (30) days after the period for curing the violation or condition has ended).

For a termination of employment to be for Cause, you must (a) receive a written notice from the Company which indicates in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for the termination of your employment for Cause; and (b) be provided with an opportunity to cure or resolve, no later than 30 days following the receipt of such notice, the circumstances or behavior in question; provided, however, that Executive shall only be afforded such opportunity, if the circumstance or behavior in question are deemed curable by the Company in its reasonable discretion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(c)**In the event Executive's employment is terminated at any time for Cause, Executive will not receive the Severance Benefits as described in Section 6.1(c) or any other severance compensation or benefit, except that, consistent with the Company's standard payroll policies, the Company shall provide to Executive the Accrued Obligations.

This definition shall be interpreted and applied consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act, the FMLA, and other applicable law.

If not so exempt, this Agreement (and any definitions hereunder) will be construed in a manner that complies with Section 409A and incorporates by reference all required definitions and payment terms. No severance payments will be made under this Agreement unless

***Exhibit 10.1***

Executive's termination of employment constitutes a "separation from service" (as defined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)). For purposes of Section 409A (including, without limitation, for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii)), Executive's right to receive any installment payments under this Agreement (whether severance payments or otherwise) shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each installment payment hereunder shall at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment. To the extent that any severance payments are deferred compensation under Section 409A, and are not otherwise exempt from the application of Section 409A, then, if the period during which Executive may consider and sign the Release spans two calendar years, the severance payments will not begin until the second calendar year. If the Company determines that the severance benefits provided under this Agreement constitutes "deferred compensation" under Section 409A and if Executive is a "specified employee" of the Company, as such term is defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code at the time of Executive's Separation from Service, then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid the incurrence of the adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, the timing of the Severance will be delayed as follows: on the earlier to occur of (a) the date that is six months and one day after Executive's Separation from Service, and (b) the date of Executive's death (such earlier date, the "***Delayed Initial Payment Date***"), the Company will (i) pay to Executive a lump sum amount equal to the sum of the severance benefits that Executive would otherwise have received through the Delayed Initial Payment Date if the commencement of the payment of the severance benefits had not been delayed pursuant to this Section 6.7 and (ii) commence paying the balance of the severance benefits in accordance with the applicable payment schedule set forth in Section 6.1. No interest shall be due on any amounts deferred pursuant to this Section 6.7.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.10** **<u>Parachute Payments</u>**. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any payment or benefit that Executive would receive from the Company pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise (each a "***Payment***") would: (i) constitute a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code; and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the "***Excise Tax***"), then such Payment will be equal to the Reduced Amount (defined below). The "***Reduced Amount***" will be either: (l) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment (after reduction) being subject to the Excise Tax; or (2) the entire Payment, whichever amount after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from a deduction of such state and local taxes), results in Executive's receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of the Payment. If a reduction in the Payment is to be made so that the Payment equals the Reduced Amount, (x) the Payment will be paid only to the extent permitted under the Reduced Amount alternative, and Executive will have no rights to any additional payments and/or benefits constituting the Payment, and (y) reduction in payments and/or benefits will occur in the following order: (A) reduction of cash payments; (B) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards other than stock options; (C) cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock options; and (D) reduction of other benefits paid to Executive. In the event that acceleration of vesting of equity award compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting will be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of the Executive's equity awards. In no event will the Company or any stockholder be liable to Executive for any amounts not paid as a result of the operation of this Section 6.8. The professional firm engaged by the Company to make the foregoing calculations as of the day prior to the closing will perform the foregoing calculations. The Company will bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such firm required to be made hereunder. Any good faith determinations of the firm made hereunder will be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company and Executive.

If the Committee or the Board seeks to recover payment of incentive pay as a result of a restatement of the Company's financial statements or otherwise under the Recoupment Policy, Executive shall pay to the Company, as applicable, (A) all or a portion (as determined by the Committee or the Board in its sole discretion) of the amount by which the payment received by Executive exceeds the amount that would have been paid to Executive based on the restated financial statements, or (B) the amount (as determined by the Committee or the Board in its sole discretion) to be repaid pursuant to the Recoupment Policy. Nothing in this Section 7.1 shall preclude the Company (or any other person) from taking any other action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.2** **<u>Notices</u>**.

Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions had never been contained herein.

The Executive may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder, other than to Executive's estate upon Executive's death.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.9** **<u>Choice of Law</u>**.

To ensure the rapid and economical resolution of disputes that may arise in connection with Executive's employment with the Company, Executive and the Company agree that any and all disputes, claims, or causes of action, in law or equity, including but not limited to statutory claims, arising from or relating to the enforcement, breach, performance, or interpretation of this Agreement, Executive's employment with the Company, or the termination of Executive's employment, shall be resolved pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1-16 (the "***FAA***"), to the fullest extent permitted by law, by final, binding and confidential arbitration conducted by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. or its successor ("***JAMS***"), in the State of New York or as otherwise mutually agreed upon, under JAMS' then-applicable rules and procedures for employment disputes before a single arbitrator (available upon request and also currently available at: https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-employment-arbitration/). **Executive acknowledges that by agreeing to this arbitration procedure, both Executive and the Company waive the right to resolve any such dispute through a trial by jury or judge or administrative proceeding.** In addition, all claims, disputes, or causes of action under this Section, whether by Executive or the Company, must be brought in an individual capacity, and shall not be brought as a plaintiff (or claimant) or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding, nor joined or consolidated with the claims of any other person or entity. The arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of more than one person or entity, and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. To the extent that the preceding sentences regarding class claims or proceedings are found to violate applicable law or are otherwise found unenforceable, any claim(s) alleged or brought on behalf of a class shall proceed in a court of law rather than by arbitration. This paragraph shall not apply to sexual assault disputes and sexual harassment disputes as defined in the FAA, or any action or claim that cannot be subject to mandatory arbitration as a matter of law, to the extent such claims are not permitted by applicable law(s) to be submitted to mandatory arbitration and the applicable law(s) are not preempted by the Federal Arbitration Act or otherwise invalid (collectively, the "***Excluded Claims***"). In the event Executive intends to bring multiple claims, including one of

MACROBUTTON DocID

***Exhibit 10.1***

the Excluded Claims listed above, the Excluded Claims may be filed with a court, while any other claims will remain subject to mandatory arbitration. Executive will have the right to be represented by legal counsel at any arbitration proceeding. Questions of whether a claim is subject to arbitration under this Agreement shall be decided by the arbitrator. Likewise, procedural questions which grow out of the dispute and bear on the final disposition are also matters for the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall: (a) have the authority to compel adequate discovery for the resolution of the dispute and to award such relief as would otherwise be permitted by law; and (b) issue a written statement signed by the arbitrator regarding the disposition of each claim and the relief, if any, awarded to each claim, the reasons for the award, and the arbitrator's essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The arbitrator shall be authorized to award all relief that Executive or the Company would be entitled to seek in a court of law and any such awards may be entered into and enforced as judgments in federal and state courts of any competent jurisdiction. The Company shall pay all JAMS arbitration fees in excess of the administrative fees that Executive would be required to pay if the dispute were decided in a court of law. Except as modified in the Confidential Information Agreement, each party is responsible for its own attorneys' fees. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to prevent either Executive or the Company from obtaining injunctive relief in court to prevent irreparable harm pending the conclusion of any such arbitration. Any awards or orders in such arbitrations may be entered and enforced as judgments in the federal and state courts of any competent jurisdiction.

**MIND MEDICINE, INC.**

**EMPLOYEE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND INVENTIONS ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT**

In consideration of my employment or continued employment by **Mind Medicine, Inc.** ("***Employer***"), and its subsidiaries, parents, affiliates, successors and assigns (together with Employer, "***Company***"), the compensation paid to me now and during my employment with Company, and Company's agreement to provide me with access to its Confidential Information (as defined below), I enter into this Employee Confidential Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement with Employer (the "***Agreement***"). Accordingly, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, Employer (on behalf of itself and Company) and I agree as follows:

Employee Confidential Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement

------

**1.** **Confidential Information Protections**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.1**Recognition of Company's Rights; Nondisclosure**. My employment by Company creates a relationship of confidence and trust with respect to Confidential Information (as defined below) and Company has a protectable interest in the Confidential Information. At all times during and after my employment, I will hold in confidence and will not disclose, use, lecture upon, or publish any Confidential Information, except as required in connection with my work for Company, or as approved by an officer of Company. I will obtain written approval by an officer of Company before I lecture on or submit for publication any material (written, oral, or otherwise) that discloses and/or incorporates any Confidential Information. I will take all reasonable precautions to prevent the disclosure of Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Section 1833(b), I will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (1) is made in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (2) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. I agree that Company information or documentation to which I have access during my employment, regardless of whether it contains Confidential Information, is the property of Company and cannot be downloaded or retained for my personal use or for any use that is outside the scope of my duties for Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.2**Confidential Information**. "***Confidential Information***" means any and all confidential knowledge or data of Company, and includes any confidential knowledge or data that Company has received, or receives in the future, from third parties that Company has agreed to treat as confidential and to use for only certain limited purposes. By way of illustration but not limitation, Confidential Information includes (a) trade secrets, inventions, ideas, processes, formulas, software in source or object code, data, technology, know-how, designs and techniques, and any other work product of any nature, and all Intellectual Property Rights (defined below) in all of the foregoing (collectively, "***Inventions***"), including all Company Inventions (defined in Section 2.1); (b) information regarding research, development, new products, business and operational plans, budgets, unpublished financial statements and projections, costs, margins, discounts, credit terms, pricing, quoting procedures, future plans and strategies, capital-raising plans, internal services, suppliers and supplier information; (c) information about customers and potential customers of Company, including customer lists, names, representatives, their needs or desires with respect to the types of products or services offered by Company, and other non-public information; (d) information about Company's business partners and their services, including names, representatives, proposals, bids, contracts, and the products and services they provide; (e) information regarding personnel, employee lists, compensation, and employee skills; and (f) any other non-public information that a competitor of Company could use to Company's competitive disadvantage. However, Company agrees that I am free to use information that I knew prior to my employment with Company or that is, at the time of use, generally known in the trade or industry through no breach of this Agreement by me. Company further agrees that this Agreement does not limit my right to discuss my employment or discuss or disclose information about unlawful acts in the workplace, such as harassment or discrimination or any other conduct that I have reason to believe is unlawful, or report possible violations of law or regulation with any federal, state or local government agency, or to discuss the terms and conditions of my employment with others to the extent expressly permitted by Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act, or to the extent that such disclosure is protected under the applicable provisions of law or regulation, including but not limited to "whistleblower" statutes or other similar provisions that protect such disclosure, to the extent any such rights are not permitted by applicable law to be the subject of nondisclosure obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.3**Term of Nondisclosure Restrictions**. I will only use or disclose Confidential Information as provided in this Section 1 and I agree that the restrictions in Section 1.1 are intended to continue indefinitely, even after my employment by Company ends. However, if a time limitation on my obligation not to use or disclose Confidential Information is required under applicable law, and the Agreement or its restriction(s) cannot otherwise be enforced, Company and I agree that the two year period after the date my employment ends will be the time limitation relevant to the contested restriction; ***provided, however***, that my obligation not to disclose or use trade secrets that are protected without time limitation under applicable law shall continue indefinitely.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.4**No Improper Use of Information of Prior Employers and Others**. During my employment by Company, I will not improperly use or disclose confidential information or trade secrets, if any, of any former employer or any other person to whom I have an obligation of confidentiality, and I will not bring onto Company's premises any unpublished

documents or property belonging to a former employer or any other person to whom I have an obligation of confidentiality unless that former employer or person has consented in writing.

**2.** **Assignments of Inventions**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1**Definitions**. The term (a) **"*Intellectual Property Rights*"** means all past, present and future rights of the following types, which may exist or be created under the laws of any jurisdiction in the world: trade secrets, Copyrights, trademark and trade name rights, mask work rights, patents and industrial property, and all proprietary rights in technology or works of authorship (including, in each case, any application for any such rights, all rights to priority, and any rights to apply for any such rights, as well as all rights to pursue remedies for infringement or violation of any such rights); (b) "***Copyright***" means the exclusive legal right to reproduce, perform, display, distribute and make derivative works of a work of authorship (for example, a literary, musical, or artistic work) recognized by the laws of any jurisdiction in the world; (c) "***Moral Rights***" means all paternity, integrity, disclosure, withdrawal, special and similar rights recognized by the laws of any jurisdiction in the world; and (d) "***Company Inventions***" means any and all Inventions (and all Intellectual Property Rights related to Inventions) that are made, conceived, developed, prepared, produced, authored, edited, amended, reduced to practice, or learned or set out in any tangible medium of expression or otherwise created, in whole or in part, by me, either alone or with others, during my employment by Company, and all printed, physical, and electronic copies, and other tangible embodiments of Inventions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2**Non-Assignable Inventions**. I recognize that this Agreement will not be deemed to require assignment of any Invention that I develop entirely on my own time without using Company's equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secrets, or Confidential Information, except for Inventions that either (i) relate to Company's actual or anticipated business, research or development, or (ii) result from or are connected with any work performed by me for Company ("***Nonassignable Inventions***").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.3**Prior Inventions**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)**On the signature page to this Agreement is a list describing any Inventions that (i) are owned by me or in which I have an interest and that were made or acquired by me prior to my date of first employment by Company, and (ii) may relate to Company's business or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, and (iii) are not to be assigned to Company ("***Prior Inventions***"). If no such list is attached, I represent and warrant that no Inventions that would be classified as Prior Inventions exist as of the date of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b)**I agree that if I use any Prior Inventions and/or Nonassignable Inventions in the scope of my employment, or if I include any Prior Inventions and/or Nonassignable Inventions in any product or service of Company, or if my rights in any Prior Inventions and/or any Nonassignable Inventions may block or interfere with, or may otherwise be required for, the exercise by Company of any rights assigned to Company under this Agreement (each, a "***License Event***"), (i) I will immediately notify Company in writing, and (ii) unless Company and I agree otherwise in writing, I hereby grant to Company a non-exclusive, perpetual, transferable, fully-paid, royalty-free, irrevocable, worldwide license, with rights to sublicense through multiple levels of sublicensees, to reproduce, make derivative works of, distribute, publicly perform, and publicly display in any form or medium (whether now known or later developed), make, have made, use, sell, import, offer for sale, and exercise any and all present or future rights in, such Prior Inventions and/or Nonassignable Inventions. To the extent that any third parties have any rights in or to any Prior Inventions or any Nonassignable Inventions, I represent and warrant that such third party or parties have validly and irrevocably granted to me the right to grant the license stated above. For purposes of this paragraph, "***Prior Inventions***" includes any Inventions that would be classified as Prior Inventions, whether or not they are listed on the signature page to this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4**Assignment of Company Inventions**. I hereby assign to Employer all my right, title, and interest in and to any and all Company Inventions other than Nonassignable Inventions and agree that such assignment includes an assignment of all Moral Rights. To the extent such Moral Rights cannot be assigned to Employer and to the extent the following is allowed by the laws in any country where Moral Rights exist, I hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waive the enforcement of such Moral Rights, and all claims and causes of action of any kind against Employer or related to Employer's customers, with respect to such rights. I further agree that neither my successors-in-interest nor legal heirs retain any Moral Rights in any Company Inventions. Nothing contained in this Agreement may be construed to reduce or

Employee Confidential Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement

------

limit Company's rights, title, or interest in any Company Inventions so as to be less in any respect than that Company would have had in the absence of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.5**Obligation to Keep Company Informed**. During my employment by Company, I will promptly and fully disclose to Company in writing all Inventions that I author, conceive, or reduce to practice, either alone or jointly with others. At the time of each disclosure, I will advise Company in writing of any Inventions that I believe constitute Nonassignable Inventions; and I will at that time provide to Company in writing all evidence necessary to substantiate my belief. Subject to Section 2.3(b), Company agrees to keep in confidence, not use for any purpose, and not disclose to third parties without my consent, any confidential information relating to Nonassignable Inventions that I disclose in writing to Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.6**Government or Third Party**. I agree that, as directed by Company, I will assign to a third party, including without limitation the United States, all my right, title, and interest in and to any particular Company Invention.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.7**Ownership of Work Product**. I acknowledge that all original works of authorship that are made by me (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of my employment and that are protectable by Copyright are "works made for hire," pursuant to United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C., Section 101).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.8**Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights and Assistance**. I will assist Company, in every way Company requests, including signing, verifying and delivering any documents and performing any other acts, to obtain and enforce United States and foreign Intellectual Property Rights and Moral Rights relating to Company Inventions in any jurisdictions in the world. My obligation to assist Company with respect to Intellectual Property Rights relating to Company Inventions will continue beyond the termination of my employment, but Company will compensate me at a reasonable rate after such termination for the time I actually spend on such assistance. If Company is unable for any reason, after reasonable effort, to secure my signature on any document needed in connection with the actions specified in this paragraph, I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint Employer and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and attorney in fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to act for and on my behalf to execute, verify and file any such documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of this Agreement with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me. I hereby waive and quitclaim to Company any and all claims, of any nature whatsoever, which I now or may hereafter have for infringement of any Intellectual Property Rights assigned to Employer under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.9**Incorporation of Software Code**. I agree not to incorporate into any Inventions, including any Company software, or otherwise deliver to Company, any software code licensed under the GNU General Public License, Lesser General Public License, or any other license that, by its terms, requires or conditions the use or distribution of such code on the disclosure, licensing, or distribution of any source code owned or licensed by Company, **except** in strict compliance with Company's policies regarding the use of such software or as directed by Company.

**3.** **Records**. I agree to keep and maintain adequate and current records (in the form of notes, sketches, drawings and in any other form that is required by Company) of all Confidential Information developed by me and all Company Inventions made by me during the period of my employment at Company, which records will be available to and remain the sole property of Employer at all times.

**4.** **Duty of Loyalty During Employment**. During my employment by Company, I will not, without Company's written consent, directly or indirectly engage in any employment or business activity that is directly or indirectly competitive with, or would otherwise conflict with, my employment by Company.

**5.**No Solicitation of Employees, Consultants, Contractors, or Customers. I agree that during the period of my employment and for the one year period after the date my employment ends for any reason, including but not limited to voluntary termination by me or involuntary termination by Company, I will not, as an officer, director, employee, consultant, owner, partner, or in any other capacity, either directly or through others, except on behalf of Company:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.1solicit, induce, encourage, or participate in soliciting, inducing or encouraging any person known to me to be an employee, consultant, or independent contractor of Company to terminate his, her or its relationship with Company, even if I did not initiate the discussion or seek out the contact;

The Executive shall make such business trips to such places as may be reasonably necessary or advisable for the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.2** **<u>Company Policies</u>**. The employment relationship between the parties shall be subject to the Company's personnel policies and procedures as they may be interpreted, adopted, revised or deleted from time to time in the Company's sole discretion.

The Company will pay Executive any bonus awarded for the completed fiscal year, less applicable withholdings and deductions, payable in a lump sum on the later of (x) the date that annual performance bonuses are normally paid to other executives at the Company for that fiscal year or (y) within five (5) days following the Release Effective Date, but in no event later than March 15 the year immediately following the year in which the termination or resignation occurs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(2)**If the termination without Cause or resignation for Good Reason occurs during the Change in Control Measurement Period, and after the completion of the Company's fiscal year, but before any bonuses are paid, the Company will make a lump sum cash payment to Executive in an amount equal to 100% of the Target Bonus for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs, subject to standard deductions and withholdings, which will be paid in a lump sum on the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive's date of Separation from Service, provided the Release Effective Date has occurred on or before that date. Additionally, Executive will be entitled to an amount equal to the Target Bonus payment for the year in which the termination without Cause or resignation for Good Reason occurs during the Change in Control Measurement Period, prorated for the portion of the year in which Executive is employed, subject to standard deductions and withholdings, which will be paid in a lump sum on the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive's date of Separation from Service.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(2)**If the termination without Cause or resignation for Good Reason occurs during the Change in Control Measurement Period, the vesting and exercisability of all outstanding equity awards subject only to a time-based vesting schedule that are held by Executive immediately prior to the termination date (if any) shall be accelerated in full.

Stock Option Plan), but provided that an event will not constitute a "Change in Control" under this Agreement unless it also qualifies as a "change in control event" under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)) is a termination or resignation during the "***Change in Control Measurement Period***."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(e)**Executive will be paid all of the Accrued Obligations on the Company's first payroll date after Executive's date of termination from employment or earlier if required by law. Executive shall only receive the Severance Benefits if: (i) by the 60th day following the date of Executive's Separation from Service, Executive has signed and delivered to the Company a separation agreement containing an effective, general release of claims in favor of the Company and its affiliates and representatives, in a form presented by the Company that includes, among other terms, a general release of claims and non-disparagement in favor of the Company and its affiliates and representatives (the "***Release***"), and which cannot be revoked in whole or part by such date (the date that the Release can no longer be revoked is referred to as the "***Release Effective Date***"); (ii) Executive returns all Company property; (iii) Executive is in compliance with Executive's post-termination obligations under this Agreement and the Confidential Information Agreement when any such Severance Benefits are due and payable; and (iv) Executive complies with the terms of the Release, including without limitation any non-disparagement and confidentiality provisions contained in the Release. To the extent that any of the Severance Benefits are deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code, and are not otherwise exempt from the application of Section 409A, then, if the period during which Executive may consider and sign the Release spans two calendar years, the payment of the Severance Benefits will not be made or begin until the later calendar year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(f)**For purposes of this Agreement, "***Accrued Obligations***" are (i) Executive's accrued but unpaid salary through the date of termination, (ii) any unreimbursed business expenses incurred by Executive payable in accordance with the Company's standard expense reimbursement policies, and (iii) benefits owed to Executive under any qualified retirement plan or health and welfare benefit plan in which Executive was a participant in accordance with applicable law and the provisions of such plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(g)**The Severance Benefits provided to Executive pursuant to Section 6.1(c) are in lieu of, and not in addition to, any benefits to which Executive may otherwise be entitled under any Company severance plan, policy or program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(h)**Any damages caused by the termination of Executive's employment without Cause would be difficult to ascertain; therefore, the Severance Benefits for which Executive is eligible pursuant to this Section 6.l in exchange for the Release is agreed to by the parties as liquidated damages, to serve as full compensation, and not a penalty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(i)**For purposes of this Agreement, "***Good Reason***" shall mean the occurrence of any of the following conditions without Executive's consent, after Executive's provision of written notice to the Company of the existence of such condition (which notice must be provided as described in Section 7.1 within thirty (30) days of the initial existence of the condition and must specify the particular condition in reasonable detail), provided that the Company has not first provided notice to Executive of its intent to terminate Executive's employment: (i) a material reduction in Executive's Base Salary except pursuant to a salary reduction program affecting substantially all of the employees of the provided, that it does not adversely affect the Executive to a greater extent than other similarly situated employees and, provided further, that any reduction in Executive's Base Salary of more than ten percent (10%) shall constitute Good Reason; (ii) the relocation of Executive's principal place of employment by fifty (50) or more miles from Executive's then-current principal place of employment; or (iii) a material reduction in Executive's duties, responsibilities or authorities relative to Executive's title, duties, authority, or responsibilities in effect immediately prior to such reduction, provided, however, that neither the

------

***Exhibit 10.6***

conversion of the Company to a subsidiary, division or unit of an acquiring entity, nor an action taken by the Company for the purposes of either accommodating a disability of the Executive or pursuant to the Family and Medical Leave Act ("***FMLA***"), will be deemed a "material reduction" in and of itself; further provided, a suspension in connection with an internal investigation by the Company shall not be a "material reduction". Notwithstanding the foregoing, Good Reason shall only exist if the Company is provided a thirty (30) day period to cure the event or condition giving rise to Good Reason, and it fails to do so within that cure period (and, additionally, Executive must resign for such Good Reason condition by giving notice as described in Section 7.1 within thirty (30) days after the period for curing the violation or condition has ended).

For a termination of employment to be for Cause, you must (a) receive a written notice from the Company which indicates in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for the termination of your employment for Cause; and (b) be provided with an opportunity to cure or resolve, no later than 30 days following the receipt of such notice, the circumstances or behavior in question; provided, however, that Executive shall only be afforded such opportunity, if the circumstance or behavior in question are deemed curable by the Company in its reasonable discretion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(c)**In the event Executive's employment is terminated at any time for Cause, Executive will not receive the Severance Benefits as described in Section 6.1(c) or any other severance compensation or benefit, except that, consistent with the Company's standard payroll policies, the Company shall provide to Executive the Accrued Obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.3** **<u>Resignation by the Executive without Good Reason</u>**.

Any acceleration by the Company of the termination date pursuant to this Section 6.5(f) shall not result in a termination by the Company for purposes of this Agreement.

The Company will reimburse Executive for all reasonable expenses incurred in complying with this Section 6.6, in accordance with Company expense reimbursement policies.

It is intended that all of the severance payments payable under this Agreement satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and other guidance thereunder and any state law of similar effect (collectively, "***Section 409A***") provided under Treasury Regulations Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4) and 1.409A-1(b)(9), and this Agreement will be construed in a manner that complies with Section 409A. If not so exempt, this Agreement (and any definitions hereunder) will be construed in a manner that complies with Section 409A and incorporates by reference all required definitions and payment terms. No severance payments will be made under this Agreement unless Executive's termination of employment constitutes a "separation from service" (as defined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)). For purposes of Section 409A (including, without limitation, for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii)), Executive's right to

------

***Exhibit 10.6***

receive any installment payments under this Agreement (whether severance payments or otherwise) shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each installment payment hereunder shall at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment. To the extent that any severance payments are deferred compensation under Section 409A, and are not otherwise exempt from the application of Section 409A, then, if the period during which Executive may consider and sign the Release spans two calendar years, the severance payments will not begin until the second calendar year. If the Company determines that the severance benefits provided under this Agreement constitutes "deferred compensation" under Section 409A and if Executive is a "specified employee" of the Company, as such term is defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code at the time of Executive's Separation from Service, then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid the incurrence of the adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, the timing of the Severance will be delayed as follows: on the earlier to occur of (a) the date that is six months and one day after Executive's Separation from Service, and (b) the date of Executive's death (such earlier date, the "***Delayed Initial Payment Date***"), the Company will (i) pay to Executive a lump sum amount equal to the sum of the severance benefits that Executive would otherwise have received through the Delayed Initial Payment Date if the commencement of the payment of the severance benefits had not been delayed pursuant to this Section 6.7 and (ii) commence paying the balance of the severance benefits in accordance with the applicable payment schedule set forth in Section 6.1. No interest shall be due on any amounts deferred pursuant to this Section 6.7.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.10** **<u>Parachute Payments</u>**. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any payment or benefit that Executive would receive from the Company pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise (each a "***Payment***") would: (i) constitute a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code; and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the "***Excise Tax***"), then such Payment will be equal to the Reduced Amount (defined below). The "***Reduced Amount***" will be either: (l) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment (after reduction) being subject to the Excise Tax; or (2) the entire Payment, whichever amount after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from a deduction of such state and local taxes), results in Executive's receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of the Payment. If a reduction in the Payment is to be made so that the Payment equals the Reduced Amount, (x) the Payment will be paid only to the extent permitted under the Reduced Amount alternative, and Executive will have no rights to any additional payments and/or benefits constituting the Payment, and (y) reduction in payments and/or benefits will occur in the following order: (A) reduction of cash payments; (B) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards other than stock options; (C) cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock options; and (D) reduction of other benefits paid to Executive. In the event that acceleration of vesting of equity award compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting will be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of the Executive's equity awards. In no event will the Company or any stockholder be liable to Executive for any amounts not paid as a result of the operation of this Section 6.8. The professional firm engaged by the Company to make the foregoing calculations as of the day prior to the closing will perform the foregoing calculations. The Company will bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such firm required to be made hereunder. Any good faith determinations of the firm made hereunder will be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company and Executive.

Executive shall be required to repay any incentive pay received if, and to the extent that, the Compensation Committee of the Board or the Board determines, in its sole discretion, that repayment is due on account of a restatement of the Company's financial statements or otherwise pursuant to any clawback or compensation recoupment policy as may be in effect or amended from time to time) (the "***Recoupment Policy***"). If the Committee or the Board seeks to recover payment of incentive pay as a result of a restatement of the Company's financial statements or otherwise under the Recoupment Policy, Executive shall pay to the Company, as applicable, (A) all or a portion (as determined by the Committee or the Board in its sole discretion) of the amount by which the payment received by Executive exceeds the amount that would have been paid to Executive based on the restated financial statements, or (B) the amount (as determined by the Committee or the Board in its sole discretion) to be repaid pursuant to the Recoupment Policy. Nothing in this Section 7.1 shall preclude the Company (or any other person) from taking any other action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.2** **<u>Notices</u>**. Any notices required hereunder to be in writing shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified; (b) when sent, if sent by electronic mail, telex or confirmed facsimile during normal business hours of the recipient, and if not, then on the next business day; (c) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.3** **<u>Severability</u>**. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions had never been contained herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.4** **<u>Waiver</u>**. If either party should waive any breach of any provisions of this Agreement, Executive or it shall not thereby be deemed to have waived any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other provision of this Agreement.

This Agreement is the complete, final, and exclusive embodiment of their agreement with regard to this subject matter and supersedes any prior oral discussions or written communications and agreements, including but not limited to the Prior Agreement. This Agreement is entered into without reliance on any promise or representation other than those expressly contained herein, and it cannot be modified or amended except in writing signed by Executive and an authorized officer of the Company. The parties have entered into a separate Confidential Information Agreement and have entered or may enter into other agreements governing Executive's equity grant(s). Any such separate agreements govern other aspects of the relationship between the parties, have or may have provisions that survive termination of the Executive's employment under this Agreement, may be amended or superseded by the parties without regard to

this Agreement and are enforceable according to their terms without regard to the enforcement provision of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.6** **<u>Counterparts</u>**. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, any one of which need not contain signatures of more than one party, but all of which taken together will constitute one and the same Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.7** **<u>Headings</u>**. The headings of the sections hereof are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof nor to affect the meaning thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.8** **<u>Successors and Assigns</u>**. The Company shall assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder in whole, but not in part, to any company or other entity with or into which the Company may hereafter merge or consolidate or to which the Company may transfer all or substantially all of its assets, if in any such case said company or other entity shall by operation of law or expressly in writing assume all obligations of the Company hereunder as fully as if it had been originally made a party hereto, but may not otherwise assign this Agreement or its rights and obligations hereunder. The Executive may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder, other than to Executive's estate upon Executive's death.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.9** **<u>Choice of Law</u>**. All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.10** **<u>Resolution of Disputes</u>**. To ensure the rapid and economical resolution of disputes that may arise in connection with Executive's employment with the Company, Executive and the Company agree that any and all disputes, claims, or causes of action, in law or equity, including but not limited to statutory claims, arising from or relating to the enforcement, breach, performance, or interpretation of this Agreement, Executive's employment with the Company, or the termination of Executive's employment, shall be resolved pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1-16 (the "***FAA***"), to the fullest extent permitted by law, by final, binding and confidential arbitration conducted by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. or its successor ("***JAMS***"), in the State of New York or as otherwise mutually agreed upon, under JAMS' then-applicable rules and procedures for employment disputes before a single arbitrator (available upon request and also currently available at: https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-employment-arbitration/). **Executive acknowledges that by agreeing to this arbitration procedure, both Executive and the Company waive the right to resolve any such dispute through a trial by jury or judge or administrative proceeding.** In addition, all claims, disputes, or causes of action under this Section, whether by Executive or the Company, must be brought in an individual capacity, and shall not be brought as a plaintiff (or claimant) or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding, nor joined or consolidated with the claims of any other person or entity. The arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of more than one person or entity, and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. To the extent that the preceding sentences regarding class claims or proceedings are found to violate applicable law or are otherwise found unenforceable, any claim(s) alleged or brought on behalf of a class shall proceed in a court of law rather than by arbitration. This paragraph shall not apply to sexual assault disputes and sexual harassment disputes as defined in the FAA, or any action or claim that cannot be subject to mandatory arbitration as a matter of law, to the extent such claims are not permitted by applicable law(s) to be submitted to mandatory arbitration and the applicable law(s) are not preempted by the Federal Arbitration Act or otherwise invalid (collectively, the "***Excluded Claims***"). In the event Executive intends to bring multiple claims, including one of the Excluded Claims listed above, the Excluded Claims may be filed with a court, while any other

------

***Exhibit 10.6***

claims will remain subject to mandatory arbitration. Executive will have the right to be represented by legal counsel at any arbitration proceeding. Questions of whether a claim is subject to arbitration under this Agreement shall be decided by the arbitrator. Likewise, procedural questions which grow out of the dispute and bear on the final disposition are also matters for the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall: (a) have the authority to compel adequate discovery for the resolution of the dispute and to award such relief as would otherwise be permitted by law; and (b) issue a written statement signed by the arbitrator regarding the disposition of each claim and the relief, if any, awarded to each claim, the reasons for the award, and the arbitrator's essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The arbitrator shall be authorized to award all relief that Executive or the Company would be entitled to seek in a court of law and any such awards may be entered into and enforced as judgments in federal and state courts of any competent jurisdiction. The Company shall pay all JAMS arbitration fees in excess of the administrative fees that Executive would be required to pay if the dispute were decided in a court of law. Except as modified in the Confidential Information Agreement, each party is responsible for its own attorneys' fees. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to prevent either Executive or the Company from obtaining injunctive relief in court to prevent irreparable harm pending the conclusion of any such arbitration. Any awards or orders in such arbitrations may be entered and enforced as judgments in the federal and state courts of any competent jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.11** **In Witness Whereof**, the parties have executed this Executive Employment Agreement on the day and year first written above.

(the "***Company***"), and supersedes in its entirety the Executive Employment Agreement dated November 9, 2022, between the Company and Executive (the "***Prior Agreement***").

The Company desires to continue to employ Executive and, in connection therewith, to compensate the Executive for Executive's personal services to the Company.

Executive will report to the Company's Chief Executive Officer (the "***CEO***") or the CEO's designee. Executive will perform such duties as are normally associated with Executive's position, as assigned from time to time, subject to the oversight and direction of the CEO or the CEO's designee. The Executive shall make such business trips to such places as may be reasonably necessary or advisable for the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.2** **<u>Company Policies</u>**. The employment relationship between the parties shall be subject to the Company's personnel policies and procedures as they may be interpreted, adopted, revised or deleted from time to time in the Company's sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the terms of this Agreement differ from, or are in conflict with, the Company's employment policies or practices, this Agreement shall control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.3** **<u>Expense Reimbursement</u>**. The Company will reimburse Executive for reasonable business expenses in accordance with the Company's standard expense reimbursement policy, as the same may be modified by the Company's Board of Directors (the "***Board***") from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.** **Compensation and Benefits.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.1** **<u>Salary</u>**.

Executive will be eligible for a discretionary annual (fiscal year) cash bonus with a target of forty percent (40%) of Executive's then current Base Salary, subject to review and adjustment from time to time by the Company in its sole discretion, payable subject to standard payroll withholding requirements ("***Target Bonus***").

The bonus may be greater or lesser than the Target Bonus and may be zero. The annual period over which performance is measured for purposes of this bonus is the Company's fiscal year, January 1 through December 31 and the Company shall pay the bonus, if any, no later than March 15<sup>th</sup> immediately following the end of the applicable fiscal year. The Board will determine in its sole discretion the extent to which each of Executive and the Company has achieved the performance goals upon which the bonus is based and the amount of the bonus, if any.

Executive will be eligible to participate on the same basis as similarly situated employees in the Company's benefit plans in effect from time to time during Executive's employment.

***Exhibit 10.7***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.** **<u>Confidential Information and Restrictive Covenants</u>**. Executive acknowledges and agrees that Executive has signed, is bound by, and will continue to abide by the terms of the Confidential Information Agreement, which may be amended by the parties from time to time without regard to this Agreement. The Confidential Information Agreement contains provisions that are intended by the parties to survive and do survive termination of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.** **<u>Outside Activities</u>**. Except with the prior written consent of the CEO, Executive will not, while employed by the Company, undertake or engage in any other employment, occupation or business enterprise that would interfere with Executive's responsibilities and the performance of Executive's duties hereunder except for (i) reasonable time devoted to volunteer services for or on behalf of such religious, educational, non-profit and/or other charitable organization as Executive may wish to serve, (ii) reasonable time devoted to activities in the non-profit and business communities consistent with Executive's duties, and (iii) such other activities as may be specifically approved in writing by the CEO or the Board (including those activities approved by the Board on or around the Effective Date). This restriction shall not, however, preclude the Executive (x) from owning less than one percent (1%) of the total outstanding shares of a publicly traded company, or (y) from employment or service in any capacity with Affiliates of the Company. As used in this Agreement, "***Affiliates***" means an entity under common management or control with the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.** **<u>No Conflict with Existing Obligations</u>**.

Executive has not entered into, and Executive agrees that Executive will not enter into, any agreement or obligation, either written or oral, in conflict herewith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.** **<u>Termination of Employment</u>**. The parties acknowledge that Executive's employment relationship with the Company is at-will. Either Executive or the Company may terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without Cause, subject to the notice requirements set forth in Section 6.5. The provisions in this Section 6 govern the amount of compensation, if any, to be provided to Executive upon termination of employment and do not alter this at-will status.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.1** **<u>Termination by the Company without Cause; Resignation for Good Reason</u>**.

A termination pursuant to Sections 6.2, 6.3, or 6.4 below is not a termination without Cause for purposes of receiving the benefits described in this Section 6.1.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b)**Executive shall have the right to resign from Executive's employment for Good Reason (as defined in this Section 6.1) by following the notice and cure process outlined in this Section 6.1, provided that the circumstance creating Good Reason is not cured by the Company pursuant to this Section 6.1.

The Company will pay Executive any bonus awarded for the completed fiscal year, less applicable withholdings and deductions, payable in a lump sum on the later of (x) the date that annual performance bonuses are normally paid to other executives at the Company for that fiscal year or (y) within five (5) days following the Release Effective Date, but in no event later than March 15 the year immediately following the year in which the termination or resignation occurs.

Additionally, Executive will be entitled to an amount equal to the Target Bonus payment for the year in which the termination without Cause or resignation for Good Reason occurs during the Change in Control Measurement Period, prorated for the portion of the year in which Executive is employed, subject to standard deductions and withholdings, which will be paid in a lump sum on the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive's date of Separation from Service.

***Exhibit 10.7***

a "change in control event" under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)) is a termination or resignation during the "***Change in Control Measurement Period***."

Executive shall only receive the Severance Benefits if: (i) by the 60th day following the date of Executive's Separation from Service, Executive has signed and delivered to the Company a separation agreement containing an effective, general release of claims in favor of the Company and its affiliates and representatives, in a form presented by the Company that includes, among other terms, a general release of claims and non-disparagement in favor of the Company and its affiliates and representatives (the "***Release***"), and which cannot be revoked in whole or part by such date (the date that the Release can no longer be revoked is referred to as the "***Release Effective Date***"); (ii) Executive returns all Company property; (iii) Executive is in compliance with Executive's post-termination obligations under this Agreement and the Confidential Information Agreement when any such Severance Benefits are due and payable; and (iv) Executive complies with the terms of the Release, including without limitation any non-disparagement and confidentiality provisions contained in the Release. To the extent that any of the Severance Benefits are deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code, and are not otherwise exempt from the application of Section 409A, then, if the period during which Executive may consider and sign the Release spans two calendar years, the payment of the Severance Benefits will not be made or begin until the later calendar year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(f)**For purposes of this Agreement, "***Accrued Obligations***" are (i) Executive's accrued but unpaid salary through the date of termination, (ii) any unreimbursed business expenses incurred by Executive payable in accordance with the Company's standard expense reimbursement policies, and (iii) benefits owed to Executive under any qualified retirement plan or health and welfare benefit plan in which Executive was a participant in accordance with applicable law and the provisions of such plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(i)**For purposes of this Agreement, "***Good Reason***" shall mean the occurrence of any of the following conditions without Executive's consent, after Executive's provision of written notice to the Company of the existence of such condition (which notice must be provided as described in Section 7.1 within thirty (30) days of the initial existence of the condition and must specify the particular condition in reasonable detail), provided that the Company has not first provided notice to Executive of its intent to terminate Executive's employment: (i) a material reduction in Executive's Base Salary except pursuant to a salary reduction program affecting substantially all of the employees of the provided, that it does not adversely affect the Executive to a greater extent than other similarly situated employees and, provided further, that any reduction in Executive's Base Salary of more than ten percent (10%) shall constitute Good Reason; (ii) the relocation of Executive's principal place of employment by fifty (50) or more miles from

***Exhibit 10.7***

Executive's then-current principal place of employment; or (iii) a material reduction in Executive's duties, responsibilities or authorities relative to Executive's title, duties, authority, or responsibilities in effect immediately prior to such reduction, provided, however, that neither the conversion of the Company to a subsidiary, division or unit of an acquiring entity, nor an action taken by the Company for the purposes of either accommodating a disability of the Executive or pursuant to the Family and Medical Leave Act ("***FMLA***"), will be deemed a "material reduction" in and of itself; further provided, a suspension in connection with an internal investigation by the Company shall not be a "material reduction". Notwithstanding the foregoing, Good Reason shall only exist if the Company is provided a thirty (30) day period to cure the event or condition giving rise to Good Reason, and it fails to do so within that cure period (and, additionally, Executive must resign for such Good Reason condition by giving notice as described in Section 7.1 within thirty (30) days after the period for curing the violation or condition has ended).

The Company will reimburse Executive for all reasonable expenses incurred in complying with this Section 6.6, in accordance with Company expense reimbursement policies.

Executive's termination of employment constitutes a "separation from service" (as defined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)). For purposes of Section 409A (including, without limitation, for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii)), Executive's right to receive any installment payments under this Agreement (whether severance payments or otherwise) shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each installment payment hereunder shall at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment. To the extent that any severance payments are deferred compensation under Section 409A, and are not otherwise exempt from the application of Section 409A, then, if the period during which Executive may consider and sign the Release spans two calendar years, the severance payments will not begin until the second calendar year. If the Company determines that the severance benefits provided under this Agreement constitutes "deferred compensation" under Section 409A and if Executive is a "specified employee" of the Company, as such term is defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code at the time of Executive's Separation from Service, then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid the incurrence of the adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, the timing of the Severance will be delayed as follows: on the earlier to occur of (a) the date that is six months and one day after Executive's Separation from Service, and (b) the date of Executive's death (such earlier date, the "***Delayed Initial Payment Date***"), the Company will (i) pay to Executive a lump sum amount equal to the sum of the severance benefits that Executive would otherwise have received through the Delayed Initial Payment Date if the commencement of the payment of the severance benefits had not been delayed pursuant to this Section 6.7 and (ii) commence paying the balance of the severance benefits in accordance with the applicable payment schedule set forth in Section 6.1. No interest shall be due on any amounts deferred pursuant to this Section 6.7.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.10** **<u>Parachute Payments</u>**. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any payment or benefit that Executive would receive from the Company pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise (each a "***Payment***") would: (i) constitute a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code; and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the "***Excise Tax***"), then such Payment will be equal to the Reduced Amount (defined below). The "***Reduced Amount***" will be either: (l) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment (after reduction) being subject to the Excise Tax; or (2) the entire Payment, whichever amount after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from a deduction of such state and local taxes), results in Executive's receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of the Payment. If a reduction in the Payment is to be made so that the Payment equals the Reduced Amount, (x) the Payment will be paid only to the extent permitted under the Reduced Amount alternative, and Executive will have no rights to any additional payments and/or benefits constituting the Payment, and (y) reduction in payments and/or benefits will occur in the following order: (A) reduction of cash payments; (B) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards other than stock options; (C) cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock options; and (D) reduction of other benefits paid to Executive. In the event that acceleration of vesting of equity award compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting will be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of the Executive's equity awards. In no event will the Company or any stockholder be liable to Executive for any amounts not paid as a result of the operation of this Section 6.8. The professional firm engaged by the Company to make the foregoing calculations as of the day prior to the closing will perform the foregoing calculations. The Company will bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such firm required to be made hereunder. Any good faith determinations of the firm made hereunder will be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company and Executive.

Executive shall be required to repay any incentive pay received if, and to the extent that, the Compensation Committee of the Board or the Board determines, in its sole discretion, that repayment is due on account of a restatement of the Company's financial statements or otherwise pursuant to any clawback or compensation recoupment policy as may be in effect or amended from time to time) (the "***Recoupment Policy***").

Nothing in this Section 7.1 shall preclude the Company (or any other person) from taking any other action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.2** **<u>Notices</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.3** **<u>Severability</u>**. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions had never been contained herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.4** **<u>Waiver</u>**.

This Agreement is entered into without reliance on any promise or representation other than those expressly contained herein, and it cannot be modified or amended except in writing signed by Executive and an authorized officer of the Company. The parties have entered into a separate Confidential Information Agreement and have entered or may enter into other agreements governing Executive's equity grant(s).

This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, any one of which need not contain signatures of more than one party, but all of which taken together will constitute one and the same Agreement.

The headings of the sections hereof are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof nor to affect the meaning thereof.

The Company shall assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder in whole, but not in part, to any company or other entity with or into which the Company may hereafter merge or consolidate or to which the Company may transfer all or substantially all of its assets, if in any such case said company or other entity shall by operation of law or expressly in writing assume all obligations of the Company hereunder as fully as if it had been originally made a party hereto, but may not otherwise assign this Agreement or its rights and obligations hereunder. The Executive may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder, other than to Executive's estate upon Executive's death.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.9** **<u>Choice of Law</u>**. All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.10** **<u>Resolution of Disputes</u>**. To ensure the rapid and economical resolution of disputes that may arise in connection with Executive's employment with the Company, Executive and the Company agree that any and all disputes, claims, or causes of action, in law or equity, including but not limited to statutory claims, arising from or relating to the enforcement, breach, performance, or interpretation of this Agreement, Executive's employment with the Company, or the termination of Executive's employment, shall be resolved pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1-16 (the "***FAA***"), to the fullest extent permitted by law, by final, binding and confidential arbitration conducted by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. or its successor ("***JAMS***"), in the State of New York or as otherwise mutually agreed upon, under JAMS' then-applicable rules and procedures for employment disputes before a single arbitrator (available upon request and also currently available at: https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-employment-arbitration/). **Executive acknowledges that by agreeing to this arbitration procedure, both Executive and the Company waive the right to resolve any such dispute through a trial by jury or judge or administrative proceeding.** In addition, all claims, disputes, or causes of action under this Section, whether by Executive or the Company, must be brought in an individual capacity, and shall not be brought as a plaintiff (or claimant) or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding, nor joined or consolidated with the claims of any other person or entity. The arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of more than one person or entity, and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. To the extent that the preceding sentences regarding class claims or proceedings are found to violate applicable law or are otherwise found unenforceable, any claim(s) alleged or brought on behalf of a class shall proceed in a court of law rather than by arbitration. This paragraph shall not apply to sexual assault disputes and sexual harassment disputes as defined in the FAA, or any action or claim that cannot be subject to mandatory arbitration as a matter of law, to the extent such claims are not permitted by applicable law(s) to be submitted to mandatory arbitration and the applicable law(s) are not preempted by the Federal Arbitration Act or otherwise invalid (collectively,

***Exhibit 10.7***

the "***Excluded Claims***"). In the event Executive intends to bring multiple claims, including one of the Excluded Claims listed above, the Excluded Claims may be filed with a court, while any other claims will remain subject to mandatory arbitration. Executive will have the right to be represented by legal counsel at any arbitration proceeding. Questions of whether a claim is subject to arbitration under this Agreement shall be decided by the arbitrator. Likewise, procedural questions which grow out of the dispute and bear on the final disposition are also matters for the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall: (a) have the authority to compel adequate discovery for the resolution of the dispute and to award such relief as would otherwise be permitted by law; and (b) issue a written statement signed by the arbitrator regarding the disposition of each claim and the relief, if any, awarded to each claim, the reasons for the award, and the arbitrator's essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The arbitrator shall be authorized to award all relief that Executive or the Company would be entitled to seek in a court of law and any such awards may be entered into and enforced as judgments in federal and state courts of any competent jurisdiction. The Company shall pay all JAMS arbitration fees in excess of the administrative fees that Executive would be required to pay if the dispute were decided in a court of law. Except as modified in the Confidential Information Agreement, each party is responsible for its own attorneys' fees. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to prevent either Executive or the Company from obtaining injunctive relief in court to prevent irreparable harm pending the conclusion of any such arbitration. Any awards or orders in such arbitrations may be entered and enforced as judgments in the federal and state courts of any competent jurisdiction.

Sullivan (the "***Executive***") and Mind Medicine (MindMed), Inc. (the "***Company***"), and supersedes in its entirety the Executive Employment Agreement dated April 13, 2023, between the Company and Executive (the "***Prior Agreement***").

The Company desires to continue to employ Executive and, in connection therewith, to compensate the Executive for Executive's personal services to the Company.

The Executive wishes to continue to be employed by the Company and provide personal services and certain covenants to the Company in return for certain compensation and benefits.

This Agreement supersedes any and all prior and contemporaneous oral or written employment agreements or arrangements between Executive and the Company or any predecessor thereof, except for that certain Employee Confidential Information and Inventions Agreement entered into by Executive and the Company effective April 12, 2023 (the "***Confidential Information Agreement***"), attached hereto as Exhibit A.

Accordingly, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, the parties agree to the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.** **Employment by the Company.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.1** **<u>Position; Duties</u>**. Subject to the terms set forth herein, the Company agrees to continue to employ Executive in the position of Chief Legal Officer, and Executive hereby accepts such continued employment. During the term of Executive's employment with the Company, Executive will devote Executive's best efforts, business time and attention to the business of the Company. Executive will report to the Company's Chief Executive Officer (the "***CEO***") or the CEO's designee. Executive will perform such duties as are normally associated with Executive's position, as assigned from time to time, subject to the oversight and direction of the CEO or the CEO's designee. The Executive shall make such business trips to such places as may be reasonably necessary or advisable for the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.2** **<u>Company Policies</u>**. The employment relationship between the parties shall be subject to the Company's personnel policies and procedures as they may be interpreted, adopted, revised or deleted from time to time in the Company's sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the terms of this Agreement differ from, or are in conflict with, the Company's employment policies or practices, this Agreement shall control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.3** **<u>Expense Reimbursement</u>**. The Company will reimburse Executive for reasonable business expenses in accordance with the Company's standard expense reimbursement policy, as the same may be modified by the Company's Board of Directors (the "***Board***") from time to time.

------

***Exhibit 10.8***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.** **Compensation and Benefits.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.1** **<u>Salary</u>**. Executive shall receive for Executive's services to be rendered hereunder a base salary of $485,000 on an annualized basis, subject to review and adjustment by the Company in its sole discretion, and payable subject to standard federal and state payroll withholding requirements in accordance with the Company's standard payroll practices ("***Base Salary***").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.2** **<u>Annual Discretionary Bonus</u>**. Executive will be eligible for a discretionary annual (fiscal year) cash bonus with a target of forty percent (40%) of Executive's then current Base Salary, subject to review and adjustment from time to time by the Company in its sole discretion, payable subject to standard payroll withholding requirements ("***Target Bonus***"). Whether or not Executive receives any bonus will be dependent upon (a) the actual achievement by Executive and the Company of the applicable individual and corporate performance goals, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, and (b) Executive's continuous performance of services to the Company through the date any such bonus is paid. The bonus may be greater or lesser than the Target Bonus and may be zero. The annual period over which performance is measured for purposes of this bonus is the Company's fiscal year, January 1 through December 31 and the Company shall pay the bonus, if any, no later than March 15<sup>th</sup> immediately following the end of the applicable fiscal year. The Board will determine in its sole discretion the extent to which each of Executive and the Company has achieved the performance goals upon which the bonus is based and the amount of the bonus, if any. In the event the Executive leaves the employ of the Company for any reason prior to payment of any bonus, Executive is not eligible for such bonus, prorated or otherwise, except as provided in Section 6 below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.3** **<u>Equity</u>**<u>.</u>

Any option to purchase shares of the Company's Common Shares granted to Executive ("***Option***") is subject to Executive's continuous service with the Company on each such vesting date and any Option, and any shares acquired upon exercise of such Option, are subject to the terms and conditions of the Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc. Stock Option Plan or the Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc. 2025 Equity Incentive Plan, and an option agreement entered into between Executive and the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b)** **Restricted Stock Units.** The vesting of any restricted stock units granted to Executive ("***RSUs***") are subject to Executive's continuous service with the Company on each applicable vesting date, and any unvested RSUs are subject to the terms and conditions of the Mind Medicine (MindMed) Performance and Restricted Share Unit Plan or the Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc. 2025 Equity Incentive Plan, and award agreement entered into between Executive and the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.4** **<u>Benefits</u>**. Executive will be eligible to participate on the same basis as similarly situated employees in the Company's benefit plans in effect from time to time during Executive's employment. All matters of eligibility for coverage or benefits under any benefit plan

------

***Exhibit 10.8***

shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of such plan. The Company reserves the right to change, alter, or terminate any benefit plan in its sole discretion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.** **<u>Confidential Information and Restrictive Covenants</u>**. Executive acknowledges and agrees that Executive has signed, is bound by, and will continue to abide by the terms of the Confidential Information Agreement, which may be amended by the parties from time to time without regard to this Agreement. The Confidential Information Agreement contains provisions that are intended by the parties to survive and do survive termination of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.** **<u>Outside Activities</u>**. Except with the prior written consent of the CEO, Executive will not, while employed by the Company, undertake or engage in any other employment, occupation or business enterprise that would interfere with Executive's responsibilities and the performance of Executive's duties hereunder except for (i) reasonable time devoted to volunteer services for or on behalf of such religious, educational, non-profit and/or other charitable organization as Executive may wish to serve, (ii) reasonable time devoted to activities in the non-profit and business communities consistent with Executive's duties, and (iii) such other activities as may be specifically approved in writing by the CEO or the Board (including those activities approved by the Board on or around the Effective Date). This restriction shall not, however, preclude the Executive (x) from owning less than one percent (1%) of the total outstanding shares of a publicly traded company, or (y) from employment or service in any capacity with Affiliates of the Company. As used in this Agreement, "***Affiliates***" means an entity under common management or control with the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.** **<u>No Conflict with Existing Obligations</u>**. Executive represents that Executive's performance of all the terms of this Agreement and service as an executive of the Company do not and will not breach any agreement or obligation of any kind made prior to Executive's employment by the Company, including agreements or obligations Executive may have with prior employers or entities for which Executive has provided services. Executive has not entered into, and Executive agrees that Executive will not enter into, any agreement or obligation, either written or oral, in conflict herewith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.** **<u>Termination of Employment</u>**. The parties acknowledge that Executive's employment relationship with the Company is at-will. Either Executive or the Company may terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without Cause, subject to the notice requirements set forth in Section 6.5. The provisions in this Section 6 govern the amount of compensation, if any, to be provided to Executive upon termination of employment and do not alter this at-will status.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.1** **<u>Termination by the Company without Cause; Resignation for Good Reason</u>**.

A termination pursuant to Sections 6.2, 6.3, or 6.4 below is not a termination without Cause for purposes of receiving the benefits described in this Section 6.1.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b)**Executive shall have the right to resign from Executive's employment for Good Reason (as defined in this Section 6.1) by following the notice and cure process outlined in

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the Company determines that its payment of COBRA premiums on Executive's behalf would result in a violation of applicable law (including, but not limited to, the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the 2010 Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act), then in lieu of paying COBRA premiums pursuant to this Section, the Company shall pay Executive on the last day of each remaining month of the Non-CIC COBRA Payment Period, a fully taxable cash payment equal to the COBRA premium for such month, subject to applicable tax withholding for the remainder of the Non-CIC COBRA Payment Period.

The Company will pay Executive any bonus awarded for the completed fiscal year, less applicable withholdings and deductions, payable in a lump sum on the later of (x) the date that annual performance bonuses are normally paid to other executives at the Company for that fiscal year or (y) within five (5) days following the Release Effective Date, but in no event later than March 15 the year immediately following the year in which the termination or resignation occurs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(2)**If the termination without Cause or resignation for Good Reason occurs during the Change in Control Measurement Period, and after the completion of the Company's fiscal year, but before any bonuses are paid, the Company will make a lump sum cash payment to Executive in an amount equal to 100% of the Target Bonus for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs, subject to standard deductions and withholdings, which will be paid in a lump sum on the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive's date of Separation from Service, provided the Release Effective Date has occurred on or before that date. Additionally, Executive will be entitled to an amount equal to the Target Bonus payment for the year in which the termination without Cause or resignation for Good Reason occurs during the Change in Control Measurement Period, prorated for the portion of the year in which Executive is employed, subject to standard deductions and withholdings, which will be paid in a lump sum on the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive's date of Separation from Service.

Stock Option Plan), but provided that an event will not constitute a "Change in Control" under this Agreement unless it also qualifies as a "change in control event" under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)) is a termination or resignation during the "***Change in Control Measurement Period***."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(e)**Executive will be paid all of the Accrued Obligations on the Company's first payroll date after Executive's date of termination from employment or earlier if required by law. Executive shall only receive the Severance Benefits if: (i) by the 60th day following the date of Executive's Separation from Service, Executive has signed and delivered to the Company a separation agreement containing an effective, general release of claims in favor of the Company and its affiliates and representatives, in a form presented by the Company that includes, among other terms, a general release of claims and non-disparagement in favor of the Company and its affiliates and representatives (the "***Release***"), and which cannot be revoked in whole or part by such date (the date that the Release can no longer be revoked is referred to as the "***Release Effective Date***"); (ii) Executive returns all Company property; (iii) Executive is in compliance with Executive's post-termination obligations under this Agreement and the Confidential Information Agreement when any such Severance Benefits are due and payable; and (iv) Executive complies with the terms of the Release, including without limitation any non-disparagement and confidentiality provisions contained in the Release. To the extent that any of the Severance Benefits are deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code, and are not otherwise exempt from the application of Section 409A, then, if the period during which Executive may consider and sign the Release spans two calendar years, the payment of the Severance Benefits will not be made or begin until the later calendar year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(f)**For purposes of this Agreement, "***Accrued Obligations***" are (i) Executive's accrued but unpaid salary through the date of termination, (ii) any unreimbursed business expenses incurred by Executive payable in accordance with the Company's standard expense reimbursement policies, and (iii) benefits owed to Executive under any qualified retirement plan or health and welfare benefit plan in which Executive was a participant in accordance with applicable law and the provisions of such plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(g)**The Severance Benefits provided to Executive pursuant to Section 6.1(c) are in lieu of, and not in addition to, any benefits to which Executive may otherwise be entitled under any Company severance plan, policy or program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(h)**Any damages caused by the termination of Executive's employment without Cause would be difficult to ascertain; therefore, the Severance Benefits for which Executive is eligible pursuant to this Section 6.l in exchange for the Release is agreed to by the parties as liquidated damages, to serve as full compensation, and not a penalty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(i)**For purposes of this Agreement, "***Good Reason***" shall mean the occurrence of any of the following conditions without Executive's consent, after Executive's provision of written notice to the Company of the existence of such condition (which notice must be provided as described in Section 7.1 within thirty (30) days of the initial existence of the condition and must specify the particular condition in reasonable detail), provided that the Company has not first provided notice to Executive of its intent to terminate Executive's employment: (i) a material reduction in Executive's Base Salary except pursuant to a salary reduction program

affecting substantially all of the employees of the provided, that it does not adversely affect the Executive to a greater extent than other similarly situated employees and, provided further, that any reduction in Executive's Base Salary of more than ten percent (10%) shall constitute Good Reason; (ii) the relocation of Executive's principal place of employment by fifty (50) or more miles from Executive's then-current principal place of employment; or (iii) a material reduction in Executive's duties, responsibilities or authorities relative to Executive's title, duties, authority, or responsibilities in effect immediately prior to such reduction, provided, however, that neither the conversion of the Company to a subsidiary, division or unit of an acquiring entity, nor an action taken by the Company for the purposes of either accommodating a disability of the Executive or pursuant to the Family and Medical Leave Act ("***FMLA***"), will be deemed a "material reduction" in and of itself; further provided, a suspension in connection with an internal investigation by the Company shall not be a "material reduction". Notwithstanding the foregoing, Good Reason shall only exist if the Company is provided a thirty (30) day period to cure the event or condition giving rise to Good Reason, and it fails to do so within that cure period (and, additionally, Executive must resign for such Good Reason condition by giving notice as described in Section 7.1 within thirty (30) days after the period for curing the violation or condition has ended).

For a termination of employment to be for Cause, you must (a) receive a written notice from the Company which indicates in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for the termination of your employment for Cause; and (b) be provided with an opportunity to cure or resolve, no later than 30 days following the receipt of such notice, the circumstances or behavior in question; provided, however, that Executive shall only be afforded such opportunity, if the circumstance or behavior in question are deemed curable by the Company in its reasonable discretion.

This definition shall be interpreted and applied consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act, the FMLA, and other applicable law. In the event Executive's employment is terminated based on the Executive's Disability, Executive will not receive any Severance Benefits as described in Section 6.1(c) or any other severance compensation or benefit, except that, pursuant to the Company's standard payroll policies, the Company shall provide to Executive the Accrued Obligations.

Any acceleration by the Company of the termination date pursuant to this Section 6.5(f) shall not result in a termination by the Company for purposes of this Agreement.

Executive's full cooperation in connection with such claims, actions or investigations shall include, but not be limited to, being available to meet with counsel upon reasonable notice to answer questions or to prepare for discovery or trial and to act as a witness on behalf of the Company at mutually convenient times. During Executive's employment, Executive also shall cooperate fully with the Company in connection with any investigation or review of any federal, state or local regulatory authority as any such investigation or review relates to events or occurrences that transpired while Executive was employed by the Company.

The Company will reimburse Executive for all reasonable expenses incurred in complying with this Section 6.6, in accordance with Company expense reimbursement policies.

It is intended that all of the severance payments payable under this Agreement satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and other guidance thereunder and any state law of similar effect (collectively, "***Section 409A***") provided under Treasury Regulations Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4) and 1.409A-1(b)(9), and this Agreement will be construed in a manner that complies with Section 409A. If not so exempt, this Agreement (and any definitions hereunder) will be construed in a manner that complies with Section 409A and incorporates by reference all required definitions and payment terms. No severance payments will be made under this Agreement unless Executive's termination of employment constitutes a "separation from service" (as defined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)). For purposes of Section 409A (including, without limitation, for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii)), Executive's right to receive any installment payments under this Agreement (whether severance payments or otherwise) shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each installment payment hereunder shall at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment. To the extent that any severance payments are deferred compensation under Section 409A, and are not otherwise exempt from the application of Section 409A, then, if the period during which Executive may consider and sign the Release spans two calendar years, the severance payments will not begin until the second calendar year. If the Company determines that the severance benefits provided under this Agreement constitutes "deferred compensation" under Section 409A and if Executive is a "specified employee" of the Company, as such term is defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code at the time of Executive's Separation from Service, then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid the incurrence of the adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, the timing of the Severance will be delayed as follows: on the earlier to occur of (a) the date that is six months and one day after Executive's Separation from Service, and (b) the date of Executive's death (such earlier date, the "***Delayed Initial Payment Date***"), the Company will (i) pay to Executive a lump sum amount equal to the sum of the severance benefits that Executive would otherwise have received through the Delayed Initial Payment Date if the commencement of the payment of the severance benefits had not been delayed pursuant to this Section 6.7 and (ii) commence paying the balance of the severance benefits in accordance with the applicable payment schedule set forth in Section 6.1. No interest shall be due on any amounts deferred pursuant to this Section 6.7.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.10** **<u>Parachute Payments</u>**. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any payment or benefit that Executive would receive from the Company pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise (each a "***Payment***") would: (i) constitute a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code; and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the "***Excise Tax***"), then such Payment will be equal to the Reduced Amount (defined below). The "***Reduced Amount***" will be either: (l) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment (after reduction) being subject to the Excise Tax; or (2) the entire Payment, whichever amount after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from a deduction of such state and local taxes), results in Executive's receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of the Payment. If a reduction in the Payment is to be made so that the Payment equals the Reduced Amount, (x) the Payment will be paid only to the extent permitted under the Reduced Amount alternative, and Executive will have no rights to any additional payments and/or benefits constituting the Payment, and (y) reduction in payments and/or benefits will occur in the following order: (A) reduction of cash payments; (B) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards other than stock options; (C) cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock options; and (D)

------

***Exhibit 10.8***

reduction of other benefits paid to Executive. In the event that acceleration of vesting of equity award compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting will be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of the Executive's equity awards. In no event will the Company or any stockholder be liable to Executive for any amounts not paid as a result of the operation of this Section 6.8. The professional firm engaged by the Company to make the foregoing calculations as of the day prior to the closing will perform the foregoing calculations. The Company will bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such firm required to be made hereunder. Any good faith determinations of the firm made hereunder will be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company and Executive.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.** **General Provisions.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.1** **<u>Recoupment</u>**. Executive shall be required to repay any incentive pay received if, and to the extent that, the Compensation Committee of the Board or the Board determines, in its sole discretion, that repayment is due on account of a restatement of the Company's financial statements or otherwise pursuant to any clawback or compensation recoupment policy as may be in effect or amended from time to time) (the "***Recoupment Policy***"). If the Committee or the Board seeks to recover payment of incentive pay as a result of a restatement of the Company's financial statements or otherwise under the Recoupment Policy, Executive shall pay to the Company, as applicable, (A) all or a portion (as determined by the Committee or the Board in its sole discretion) of the amount by which the payment received by Executive exceeds the amount that would have been paid to Executive based on the restated financial statements, or (B) the amount (as determined by the Committee or the Board in its sole discretion) to be repaid pursuant to the Recoupment Policy. Nothing in this Section 7.1 shall preclude the Company (or any other person) from taking any other action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.2** **<u>Notices</u>**. Any notices required hereunder to be in writing shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified; (b) when sent, if sent by electronic mail, telex or confirmed facsimile during normal business hours of the recipient, and if not, then on the next business day; (c) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All communications shall be sent to the Company at its primary office location, ATTN: CEO, and to Executive at Executive's address as listed on the Company payroll or Executive's company-provided email address, or at such other address as the Company or the Executive may designate by ten (10) days' advance written notice to the other.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.3** **<u>Severability</u>**. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions had never been contained herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.4** **<u>Waiver</u>**.

This Agreement, along with the Confidential Information Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement between Executive and the Company with regard to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement is the complete, final, and exclusive embodiment of their agreement with regard to this subject matter and supersedes any prior oral discussions or written communications and agreements, including but not limited to the Prior Agreement. This Agreement is entered into without reliance on any promise or representation other than those expressly contained herein, and it cannot be modified or amended except in writing signed by Executive and an authorized officer of the Company. The parties have entered into a separate Confidential Information Agreement and have entered or may enter into other agreements governing Executive's equity grant(s). Any such separate agreements govern other aspects of the relationship between the parties, have or may have provisions that survive termination of the Executive's employment under this Agreement, may be amended or superseded by the parties without regard to this Agreement and are enforceable according to their terms without regard to the enforcement provision of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.6** **<u>Counterparts</u>**. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, any one of which need not contain signatures of more than one party, but all of which taken together will constitute one and the same Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.7** **<u>Headings</u>**. The headings of the sections hereof are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof nor to affect the meaning thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.8** **<u>Successors and Assigns</u>**. The Company shall assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder in whole, but not in part, to any company or other entity with or into which the Company may hereafter merge or consolidate or to which the Company may transfer all or substantially all of its assets, if in any such case said company or other entity shall by operation of law or expressly in writing assume all obligations of the Company hereunder as fully as if it had been originally made a party hereto, but may not otherwise assign this Agreement or its rights and obligations hereunder. The Executive may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder, other than to Executive's estate upon Executive's death.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.9** **<u>Choice of Law</u>**. All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.10** **<u>Resolution of Disputes</u>**. To ensure the rapid and economical resolution of disputes that may arise in connection with Executive's employment with the Company, Executive and the Company agree that any and all disputes, claims, or causes of action, in law or equity, including but not limited to statutory claims, arising from or relating to the enforcement, breach, performance, or interpretation of this Agreement, Executive's employment with the Company, or the termination of Executive's employment, shall be resolved pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1-16 (the "***FAA***"), to the fullest extent permitted by law, by final, binding and confidential arbitration conducted by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. or its successor ("***JAMS***"), in the State of New York or as otherwise mutually agreed upon, under JAMS' then-applicable rules and procedures for employment disputes before a single arbitrator (available upon request and also currently available at: https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-employment-arbitration/). **Executive acknowledges that by agreeing to this arbitration procedure, both Executive and the Company waive the right to resolve any such dispute through a trial by jury or judge or administrative proceeding.** In addition, all claims, disputes, or causes of action under this Section, whether by Executive or the Company, must be brought in an individual capacity, and shall not be brought as a

------

***Exhibit 10.8***

plaintiff (or claimant) or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding, nor joined or consolidated with the claims of any other person or entity. The arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of more than one person or entity, and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. To the extent that the preceding sentences regarding class claims or proceedings are found to violate applicable law or are otherwise found unenforceable, any claim(s) alleged or brought on behalf of a class shall proceed in a court of law rather than by arbitration. This paragraph shall not apply to sexual assault disputes and sexual harassment disputes as defined in the FAA, or any action or claim that cannot be subject to mandatory arbitration as a matter of law, to the extent such claims are not permitted by applicable law(s) to be submitted to mandatory arbitration and the applicable law(s) are not preempted by the Federal Arbitration Act or otherwise invalid (collectively, the "***Excluded Claims***"). In the event Executive intends to bring multiple claims, including one of the Excluded Claims listed above, the Excluded Claims may be filed with a court, while any other claims will remain subject to mandatory arbitration. Executive will have the right to be represented by legal counsel at any arbitration proceeding. Questions of whether a claim is subject to arbitration under this Agreement shall be decided by the arbitrator. Likewise, procedural questions which grow out of the dispute and bear on the final disposition are also matters for the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall: (a) have the authority to compel adequate discovery for the resolution of the dispute and to award such relief as would otherwise be permitted by law; and (b) issue a written statement signed by the arbitrator regarding the disposition of each claim and the relief, if any, awarded to each claim, the reasons for the award, and the arbitrator's essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The arbitrator shall be authorized to award all relief that Executive or the Company would be entitled to seek in a court of law and any such awards may be entered into and enforced as judgments in federal and state courts of any competent jurisdiction. The Company shall pay all JAMS arbitration fees in excess of the administrative fees that Executive would be required to pay if the dispute were decided in a court of law. Except as modified in the Confidential Information Agreement, each party is responsible for its own attorneys' fees. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to prevent either Executive or the Company from obtaining injunctive relief in court to prevent irreparable harm pending the conclusion of any such arbitration. Any awards or orders in such arbitrations may be entered and enforced as judgments in the federal and state courts of any competent jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.11** **In Witness Whereof**, the parties have executed this Executive Employment Agreement on the day and year first written above.

## Exhibit 10.9

***Exhibit 10.9***

**EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT**

This **Executive Employment Agreement** (the "***Agreement***") is entered into effective July 30, 2025 (the "***Effective Date***"), by and between Matthew Wiley (the "***Executive***") and Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc. (the "***Company***") and supersedes in its entirety the Executive Employment Agreement dated March 17, 2025 between the Company and Executive (the "***Prior Agreement***").

The Company desires to continue to employ Executive and, in connection therewith, to compensate the Executive for Executive's personal services to the Company.

The Executive wishes to continue to be employed by the Company and provide personal services and certain covenants to the Company in return for certain compensation and benefits.

This Agreement supersedes any and all prior and contemporaneous oral or written employment agreements or arrangements between Executive and the Company or any predecessor thereof, except for that certain Employee Confidential Information and Inventions Agreement entered into by Executive and the Company effective March 11, 2025 (the "***Confidential Information Agreement***"), attached hereto as Exhibit A.

Accordingly, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, the parties agree to the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.** **Employment by the Company.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.1** **<u>Position; Duties</u>**. Subject to the terms set forth herein, the Company agrees to continue to employ Executive in the position of Chief Commercial Officer, and Executive hereby accepts such continued employment. During the term of Executive's employment with the Company, Executive will devote Executive's best efforts, business time and attention to the business of the Company. Executive's principal workplace shall be his home office in Berwyn, Pennsylvania, or such other location within the United States as requested by Executive and agreed upon Company. Executive will report to the Company's Chief Executive Officer ("***CEO***") or CEO's designee. Executive will perform such duties as are normally associated with Executive's position, as assigned from time to time, subject to the oversight and direction of the CEO or the CEO's designee. The Executive shall make such business trips to such places as may be reasonably necessary or advisable for the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.2** **<u>Company Policies</u>**. The employment relationship between the parties shall be subject to the Company's personnel policies and procedures as they may be interpreted, adopted, revised or deleted from time to time in the Company's sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the terms of this Agreement differ from, or are in conflict with, the Company's employment policies or practices, this Agreement shall control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.3** **<u>Expense Reimbursement</u>**. The Company will reimburse Executive for reasonable business expenses in accordance with the Company's standard expense reimbursement policy, as the same may be modified by the Company's Board of Directors (the "***Board***") from time to time. The Company shall reimburse Executive for all customary and appropriate business-related expenses actually incurred and documented in accordance with Company policy, as in effect from time to time. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that any reimbursements payable to Executive are subject to the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the

------

***Exhibit 10.9***

"***Code***"): (a) any such reimbursements will be paid no later than December 31 of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred, (b) the amount of expenses reimbursed in one year will not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement in any subsequent year, and (c) the right to reimbursement under this Agreement will not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.** **Compensation and Benefits.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.1** **<u>Salary</u>**. Executive shall receive for Executive's services to be rendered hereunder a base salary of $475,000 on an annualized basis, subject to review and adjustment by the Company in its sole discretion, and payable subject to standard federal and state payroll withholding requirements in accordance with the Company's standard payroll practices ("***Base Salary***").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.2** **<u>Annual Discretionary Bonus</u>**. Executive will be eligible for a discretionary annual (fiscal year) cash bonus with a target of forty percent (40%) of Executive's then current Base Salary, subject to review and adjustment from time to time by the Company in its sole discretion, payable subject to standard payroll withholding requirements ("***Target Bonus***"). Whether or not Executive receives any bonus will be dependent upon (a) the actual achievement by Executive and the Company of the applicable individual and corporate performance goals, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, and (b) Executive's continuous performance of services to the Company through the date any such bonus is paid. The bonus may be greater or lesser than the Target Bonus and may be zero. The annual period over which performance is measured for purposes of this bonus is the Company's fiscal year, January 1 through December 31 and the Company shall pay the bonus, if any, no later than March 15<sup>th</sup> immediately following the end of the applicable fiscal year. The Board will determine in its sole discretion the extent to which each of Executive and the Company has achieved the performance goals upon which the bonus is based and the amount of the bonus, if any. In the event the Executive leaves the employ of the Company for any reason prior to payment of any bonus, Executive is not eligible for such bonus, prorated or otherwise, except as provided in Section 6 below. Executive will be eligible for a pro-rated bonus for 2025 based on the percentage of 2025 that Executive is a full time employee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.3** **<u>Equity</u>**<u>.</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)** **Stock Option**. Effective March 17, 2025, Executive's employment commencement date, the Company granted Executive an option to purchase 350,000 shares of the Company's Common Shares (the "***Option***"). The Option vests over four years, with 25% of the shares vesting on the first anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date (as defined in the award agreement), and 1/36th of the remaining shares vesting per month thereafter over 36 months, subject to Executive's continuous service with the Company on each such vesting date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b)** **Performance Stock Units**. Effective March 17, 2025, Executive's employment commencement date, the Company granted Executive 125,000 performance stock units ("***PSUs***"), pursuant to the terms and conditions of the PSU award agreement entered into between Executive and the Company. The PSUs will vest based on the achievement of performance criteria set forth in the PSU award agreement over a three-year performance measurement period and threshold, target and stretch performance multipliers of 0.5x, 1.0x and 2.0x, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(c)** **Inducement Grants**. The Option and PSUs were granted to Executive pursuant to the inducement grant exception under Nasdaq Rule 5635(c)(4) and not pursuant to any

------

***Exhibit 10.9***

of the Company's equity incentive plans, as an inducement that is material to Executive's employment with the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.4** **<u>Benefits</u>**. Executive will be eligible to participate on the same basis as similarly situated employees in the Company's benefit plans in effect from time to time during Executive's employment. All matters of eligibility for coverage or benefits under any benefit plan shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of such plan. The Company reserves the right to change, alter, or terminate any benefit plan in its sole discretion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.** **<u>Confidential Information and Restrictive Covenants</u>**. Executive acknowledges and agrees that Executive has signed, is bound by, and will continue to abide by the terms of the Confidential Information Agreement, which may be amended by the parties from time to time without regard to this Agreement. The Confidential Information Agreement contains provisions that are intended by the parties to survive and do survive termination of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.** **<u>Outside Activities</u>**. Except with the prior written consent of the CEO, Executive will not, while employed by the Company, undertake or engage in any other employment, occupation or business enterprise that would interfere with Executive's responsibilities and the performance of Executive's duties hereunder except for (i) reasonable time devoted to volunteer services for or on behalf of such religious, educational, non-profit and/or other charitable organization as Executive may wish to serve, (ii) reasonable time devoted to activities in the non-profit and business communities consistent with Executive's duties, (iii) Executive's existing advisory board role as of the Effective Date, provided it requires no more than 10 hours per quarter and the entity neither develops nor markets psychedelic-based therapeutics nor targets disease states in the Company's pipeline, and (iv) such other activities as may be specifically approved in writing by the CEO or the Board (including those activities approved by the Board on or around the Effective Date). This restriction shall not, however, preclude the Executive (x) from owning less than one percent (1%) of the total outstanding shares of a publicly traded company, or (y) from employment or service in any capacity with Affiliates of the Company. As used in this Agreement, "***Affiliates***" means an entity under common management or control with the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.** **<u>No Conflict with Existing Obligations</u>**. Executive represents that Executive's performance of all the terms of this Agreement and service as an executive of the Company do not and will not breach any agreement or obligation of any kind made prior to Executive's employment by the Company, including agreements or obligations Executive may have with prior employers or entities for which Executive has provided services. Executive has not entered into, and Executive agrees that Executive will not enter into, any agreement or obligation, either written or oral, in conflict herewith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.** **<u>Termination of Employment</u>**. The parties acknowledge that Executive's employment relationship with the Company is at-will. Either Executive or the Company may terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without Cause, subject to the notice requirements set forth in Section 6.5. The provisions in this Section 6 govern the amount of compensation, if any, to be provided to Executive upon termination of employment and do not alter this at-will status.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.1** **<u>Termination by the Company without Cause; Resignation for Good Reason</u>**.

A termination pursuant to Sections 6.2, 6.3, or 6.4 below is not a termination without Cause for purposes of receiving the benefits described in this Section 6.1.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b)**Executive shall have the right to resign from Executive's employment for Good Reason (as defined in this Section 6.1) by following the notice and cure process outlined in this Section 6.1, provided that the circumstance creating Good Reason is not cured by the Company pursuant to this Section 6.1.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(c)**If the Company terminates Executive's employment without Cause or Executive resigns from Executive's employment with the Company for Good Reason, and provided that such termination constitutes a "separation from service" (as defined under Treasury Regulation Section l.409A-l(h), without regard to any alternative definition thereunder, a "***Separation from Service***"), then Executive shall be entitled to receive the Accrued Obligations (defined in Section 6.1(f) below). If Executive complies with the obligations in Section 6.1(e) below, Executive shall be eligible to receive the following "***Severance Benefits***":

***Exhibit 10.9***

Nothing in this Agreement shall deprive Executive of Executive's rights under COBRA or ERISA for benefits under plans and policies arising under Executive's employment by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(2)**If the termination without Cause or resignation for Good Reason occurs during the Change in Control Measurement Period, then the COBRA Payment Period shall be modified with respect to prong (i) above to twelve (12) months, but prongs (ii) and (iii) above shall remain the same (the "***CIC COBRA Payment Period***").

The Company will pay Executive any bonus awarded for the completed fiscal year, less applicable withholdings and deductions, payable in a lump sum on the later of (x) the date that annual performance bonuses are normally paid to other executives at the Company for that fiscal year or (y) within five (5) days following the Release Effective Date, but in no event later than March 15 the year immediately following the year in which the termination or resignation occurs.

Additionally, Executive will be entitled to an amount equal to the Target Bonus payment for the year in which the termination without Cause or resignation for Good Reason occurs during the Change in Control Measurement Period, prorated for the portion of the year in which Executive is employed, subject to standard deductions and withholdings, which will be paid in a lump sum on the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive's date of Separation from Service.

Stock Option Plan), but provided that an event will not constitute a "Change in Control" under this Agreement unless it also qualifies as a "change in control event" under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)) is a termination or resignation during the "***Change in Control Measurement Period***."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(e)**Executive will be paid all of the Accrued Obligations on the Company's first payroll date after Executive's date of termination from employment or earlier if required by law. Executive shall only receive the Severance Benefits if: (i) by the 60th day following the date of Executive's Separation from Service, Executive has signed and delivered to the Company a separation agreement containing an effective, general release of claims in favor of the Company and its affiliates and representatives, in a form presented by the Company that includes, among other terms, a general release of claims and non-disparagement in favor of the Company and its affiliates and representatives (the "***Release***"), and which cannot be revoked in whole or part by such date (the date that the Release can no longer be revoked is referred to as the "***Release Effective Date***"); (ii) Executive returns all Company property; (iii) Executive is in compliance with Executive's post-termination obligations under this Agreement and the Confidential Information Agreement when any such Severance Benefits are due and payable; and (iv) Executive complies with the terms of the Release, including without limitation any non-disparagement and confidentiality provisions contained in the Release. To the extent that any of the Severance Benefits are deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code, and are not otherwise exempt from the application of Section 409A, then, if the period during which Executive may consider and sign the Release spans two calendar years, the payment of the Severance Benefits will not be made or begin until the later calendar year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(f)**For purposes of this Agreement, "***Accrued Obligations***" are (i) Executive's accrued but unpaid salary through the date of termination, (ii) any unreimbursed business expenses incurred by Executive payable in accordance with the Company's standard expense reimbursement policies, and (iii) benefits owed to Executive under any qualified retirement plan or health and welfare benefit plan in which Executive was a participant in accordance with applicable law and the provisions of such plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(i)**For purposes of this Agreement, "***Good Reason***" shall mean the occurrence of any of the following conditions without Executive's consent, after Executive's

***Exhibit 10.9***

provision of written notice to the Company of the existence of such condition (which notice must be provided as described in Section 7.1 within thirty (30) days of the initial existence of the condition and must specify the particular condition in reasonable detail), provided that the Company has not first provided notice to Executive of its intent to terminate Executive's employment: (i) a material reduction in Executive's Base Salary except pursuant to a salary reduction program affecting substantially all of the employees of the provided, that it does not adversely affect the Executive to a greater extent than other similarly situated employees and, provided further, that any reduction in Executive's Base Salary of more than ten percent (10%) shall constitute Good Reason; (ii) the relocation of Executive's principal place of employment by fifty (50) or more miles from Executive's then-current principal place of employment; or (iii) a material reduction in Executive's duties, responsibilities or authorities relative to Executive's title, duties, authority, or responsibilities in effect immediately prior to such reduction , provided, however, that neither the conversion of the Company to a subsidiary, division or unit of an acquiring entity, nor an action taken by the Company for the purposes of either accommodating a disability of the Executive or pursuant to the Family and Medical Leave Act ("***FMLA***"), will be deemed a "material reduction" in and of itself; further provided, a suspension in connection with an internal investigation by the Company shall not be a "material reduction". Notwithstanding the foregoing, Good Reason shall only exist if the Company is provided a thirty (30) day period to cure the event or condition giving rise to Good Reason, and it fails to do so within that cure period (and, additionally, Executive must resign for such Good Reason condition by giving notice as described in Section 7.1 within thirty (30) days after the period for curing the violation or condition has ended).

It is intended that all of the severance payments payable under this Agreement satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and other guidance thereunder and any state law of similar effect (collectively, "***Section 409A***") provided under Treasury Regulations Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4) and 1.409A-1(b)(9), and this Agreement will be construed in a manner that complies with Section 409A. If not so exempt, this Agreement (and any definitions hereunder) will be construed in a manner that complies with Section 409A and incorporates by reference all required definitions and payment terms. No severance payments will be made under this Agreement unless Executive's termination of employment constitutes a "separation from service" (as defined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)). For purposes of Section 409A (including, without limitation, for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii)), Executive's right to receive any installment payments under this Agreement (whether severance payments or otherwise) shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each installment payment hereunder shall at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment. To the extent that any severance payments are deferred compensation under Section 409A, and are not otherwise exempt from the application of Section 409A, then, if the period during which Executive may consider and sign the Release spans two calendar years, the severance payments will not begin until the second calendar year. If the Company determines that the severance benefits provided under this Agreement constitutes "deferred compensation" under Section 409A and if Executive is a "specified employee" of the Company, as such term is defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code at the time of Executive's Separation from Service, then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid the incurrence of the adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, the timing of the Severance will be delayed as follows: on the earlier to occur of (a) the date that is six months and one day after Executive's Separation from Service, and (b) the date of Executive's death (such earlier date, the "***Delayed Initial Payment Date***"), the Company will (i) pay to Executive a lump sum amount equal to the sum of the severance benefits that Executive would otherwise have received through the Delayed Initial Payment Date if the commencement of the payment of the severance benefits had not been delayed pursuant to this Section 6.7 and (ii) commence paying the balance of the severance benefits in accordance with the applicable payment schedule set forth in Section 6.1. No interest shall be due on any amounts deferred pursuant to this Section 6.7.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.10** **<u>Parachute Payments</u>**. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any payment or benefit that Executive would receive from the Company pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise (each a "***Payment***") would: (i) constitute a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code; and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the "***Excise Tax***"), then such Payment will be equal to the Reduced Amount (defined below). The "***Reduced Amount***" will be either: (l) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment (after reduction) being subject to the Excise Tax; or (2) the entire Payment, whichever amount after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from a deduction of such state and local taxes), results in Executive's receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of the Payment. If a reduction in the Payment is to be made so that the Payment equals the Reduced Amount, (x) the Payment will be paid only to the extent permitted under the Reduced Amount alternative, and Executive will have no rights to any additional payments

***Exhibit 10.9***

and/or benefits constituting the Payment, and (y) reduction in payments and/or benefits will occur in the following order: (A) reduction of cash payments; (B) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards other than stock options; (C) cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock options; and (D) reduction of other benefits paid to Executive. In the event that acceleration of vesting of equity award compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting will be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of the Executive's equity awards. In no event will the Company or any stockholder be liable to Executive for any amounts not paid as a result of the operation of this Section 6.8. The professional firm engaged by the Company to make the foregoing calculations as of the day prior to the closing will perform the foregoing calculations. The Company will bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such firm required to be made hereunder. Any good faith determinations of the firm made hereunder will be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company and Executive.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.** **General Provisions.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.1** **<u>Recoupment</u>**. Executive shall be required to repay any incentive pay received if, and to the extent that, the Compensation Committee of the Board or the Board determines, in its sole discretion, that repayment is due on account of a restatement of the Company's financial statements or otherwise pursuant to any clawback or compensation recoupment policy as may be in effect or amended from time to time) (the "***Recoupment Policy***"). If the Committee or the Board seeks to recover payment of incentive pay as a result of a restatement of the Company's financial statements or otherwise under the Recoupment Policy, Executive shall pay to the Company, as applicable, (A) all or a portion (as determined by the Committee or the Board in its sole discretion) of the amount by which the payment received by Executive exceeds the amount that would have been paid to Executive based on the restated financial statements, or (B) the amount (as determined by the Committee or the Board in its sole discretion) to be repaid pursuant to the Recoupment Policy. Nothing in this Section 7.1 shall preclude the Company (or any other person) from taking any other action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.2** **<u>Notices</u>**. Any notices required hereunder to be in writing shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified; (b) when sent, if sent by electronic mail, telex or confirmed facsimile during normal business hours of the recipient, and if not, then on the next business day; (c) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All communications shall be sent to the Company at its primary office location, ATTN: CEO, and to Executive at Executive's address as listed on the Company payroll or Executive's company-provided email address, or at such other address as the Company or the Executive may designate by ten (10) days' advance written notice to the other.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.3** **<u>Severability</u>**. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions had never been contained herein.

If either party should waive any breach of any provisions of this Agreement, Executive or it shall not thereby be deemed to have waived any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other provision of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.5** **<u>Complete Agreement</u>**. This Agreement, along with the Confidential Information Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement between Executive and the Company with regard to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement is the complete, final, and exclusive embodiment of their agreement with regard to this subject matter and supersedes any prior oral discussions or written communications and agreements, including but not limited to the Prior Agreement. This Agreement is entered into without reliance on any promise or representation other than those expressly contained herein, and it cannot be modified or amended except in writing signed by Executive and an authorized officer of the Company. The parties have entered into a separate Confidential Information Agreement and have entered or may enter into other agreements governing Executive's equity grant(s). Any such separate agreements govern other aspects of the relationship between the parties, have or may have provisions that survive termination of the Executive's employment under this Agreement, may be amended or superseded by the parties without regard to this Agreement and are enforceable according to their terms without regard to the enforcement provision of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.6** **<u>Counterparts</u>**. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, any one of which need not contain signatures of more than one party, but all of which taken together will constitute one and the same Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.7** **<u>Headings</u>**. The headings of the sections hereof are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof nor to affect the meaning thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.8** **<u>Successors and Assigns</u>**. The Company shall assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder in whole, but not in part, to any company or other entity with or into which the Company may hereafter merge or consolidate or to which the Company may transfer all or substantially all of its assets, if in any such case said company or other entity shall by operation of law or expressly in writing assume all obligations of the Company hereunder as fully as if it had been originally made a party hereto, but may not otherwise assign this Agreement or its rights and obligations hereunder. The Executive may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder, other than to Executive's estate upon Executive's death.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.9** **<u>Choice of Law</u>**. All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.10** **<u>Resolution of Disputes</u>**. To ensure the rapid and economical resolution of disputes that may arise in connection with Executive's employment with the Company, Executive and the Company agree that any and all disputes, claims, or causes of action, in law or equity, including but not limited to statutory claims, arising from or relating to the enforcement, breach, performance, or interpretation of this Agreement, Executive's employment with the Company, or the termination of Executive's employment, shall be resolved pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1-16 (the "***FAA***"), to the fullest extent permitted by law, by final, binding and confidential arbitration conducted by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. or its successor ("***JAMS***"), in the State of New York or as otherwise mutually agreed upon, under JAMS' then-applicable rules and procedures for employment disputes before a single arbitrator (available upon request and also currently available at: https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-employment-arbitration/). **Executive** 

------

***Exhibit 10.9***

**acknowledges that by agreeing to this arbitration procedure, both Executive and the Company waive the right to resolve any such dispute through a trial by jury or judge or administrative proceeding.** In addition, all claims, disputes, or causes of action under this Section, whether by Executive or the Company, must be brought in an individual capacity, and shall not be brought as a plaintiff (or claimant) or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding, nor joined or consolidated with the claims of any other person or entity. The arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of more than one person or entity, and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. To the extent that the preceding sentences regarding class claims or proceedings are found to violate applicable law or are otherwise found unenforceable, any claim(s) alleged or brought on behalf of a class shall proceed in a court of law rather than by arbitration. This paragraph shall not apply to sexual assault disputes and sexual harassment disputes as defined in the FAA, or any action or claim that cannot be subject to mandatory arbitration as a matter of law, to the extent such claims are not permitted by applicable law(s) to be submitted to mandatory arbitration and the applicable law(s) are not preempted by the Federal Arbitration Act or otherwise invalid (collectively, the "***Excluded Claims***"). In the event Executive intends to bring multiple claims, including one of the Excluded Claims listed above, the Excluded Claims may be filed with a court, while any other claims will remain subject to mandatory arbitration. Executive will have the right to be represented by legal counsel at any arbitration proceeding. Questions of whether a claim is subject to arbitration under this Agreement shall be decided by the arbitrator. Likewise, procedural questions which grow out of the dispute and bear on the final disposition are also matters for the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall: (a) have the authority to compel adequate discovery for the resolution of the dispute and to award such relief as would otherwise be permitted by law; and (b) issue a written statement signed by the arbitrator regarding the disposition of each claim and the relief, if any, awarded to each claim, the reasons for the award, and the arbitrator's essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The arbitrator shall be authorized to award all relief that Executive or the Company would be entitled to seek in a court of law and any such awards may be entered into and enforced as judgments in federal and state courts of any competent jurisdiction. The Company shall pay all JAMS arbitration fees in excess of the administrative fees that Executive would be required to pay if the dispute were decided in a court of law. Except as modified in the Confidential Information Agreement, each party is responsible for its own attorneys' fees. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to prevent either Executive or the Company from obtaining injunctive relief in court to prevent irreparable harm pending the conclusion of any such arbitration. Any awards or orders in such arbitrations may be entered and enforced as judgments in the federal and state courts of any competent jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.11** **In Witness Whereof**, the parties have executed this Executive Employment Agreement on the day and year first written above.

**NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT**

**COVER SHEET** 

Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (the "**Company**"), hereby grants an option (the "**Option**") to purchase the Company's common shares, without par value (the "**Common Shares**"), to the Grantee named below, subject to the vesting and other conditions set forth below. Additional terms and conditions of the Option are set forth in this cover sheet and in the attached Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement (together, the "**Agreement**").

The Option has been granted as an "inducement" award pursuant to the inducement grant exception under Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 5635(c)(4) as a stand-alone award, separate from, and not pursuant to the Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc. 2025 Equity Incentive Plan (as it has been or may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the "**Plan**"). However, the Option will be governed in all respects as if issued under the Plan.

**INDUCEMENT AWARD**

**NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT** 

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Nonqualified Stock Option** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Agreement evidences an award of an Option exercisable for the number of Common Shares set forth on the cover sheet and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan. This Option is not intended to be an "incentive stock option" under Section 422 of the Code and will be interpreted accordingly. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Vesting** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Your Option is exercisable only before it expires and then only with respect to the vested portion of the Option.<br>Your Option shall vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth on the cover sheet of this Agreement. To the extent that vesting could result in any fractional shares, resulting fractional shares will be rounded to the nearest whole Common Share and shall be rounded down as necessary as of the last applicable vesting date; provided, in all cases, you cannot vest in more than the number of Common Shares covered by your Option, as set forth on the cover sheet of this Agreement. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Leaves of Absence** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For purposes of this Agreement, your Service does not terminate when you go on a *bona fide* leave of absence that was approved by the Company in writing if the terms of the leave provide for continued Service crediting, or when continued Service crediting is required by Applicable Laws. Your Service terminates in any event when the approved leave ends unless you immediately return to active employee work.<br>The Company may determine, in its discretion, which leaves count for this purpose and when your Service terminates for all purposes under the Plan in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Expiration/Term** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, your Option will expire in any event at the close of business at Company headquarters on the day before the tenth (10<sup>th</sup>) anniversary of the Grant Date, as shown on the cover sheet. Your Option will expire earlier if your Service terminates, as described below, or may terminate earlier if a Change in Control occurs. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Forfeiture of Unvested Options**  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unless the termination of your Service triggers accelerated vesting or other treatment of your Option pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Plan, a written employment or other written compensatory agreement between you and the Company or an Affiliate, or a written compensatory program or policy of the Company or an Affiliate otherwise applicable to you, you will immediately and automatically forfeit to the Company the unvested portion of the Option in the event your Service terminates for any reason. |

---

------

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Forfeiture of Vested Options** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If your Service terminates for any reason, other than for death or for Cause, the vested portion of your Option will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the ninetieth (90<sup>th</sup>) day after your termination date. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Treatment of Unvested and Vested Options - Death** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If your Service terminates because of your death, the unvested portion of you Option will become fully vested and immediately exercisable and your vested Option will remain exercisable for a period ending twelve (12) months following the date of death (but subject to the earlier expiration of the term, as described above).  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Treatment of Unvested and Vested Options - Cause** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If your Service is terminated for Cause, then you shall immediately forfeit all rights to your entire Option (both vested and unvested portions), and the Option shall immediately and automatically expire.  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Notice of Exercise** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The vested portion of your Option may be exercised, in whole or in part, by (i) giving written notice to the Company or its designee or agent in such form and manner and following such procedures as the Company may prescribe, of your intent to exercise and (ii) delivering to the Company or its designee or agent full payment for the Common Shares as to which the Option is to be exercised. The notice must specify how many Common Shares you wish to purchase and must also specify how your Common Shares should be registered. <br>If someone else wants to exercise this Option after your death, that person must prove to the Company's satisfaction that he or she is entitled to do so. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Form of Payment** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When you wish to exercise this Option in full or in part, you must include payment of the aggregate Option Price for the Common Shares you are purchasing. Payment may be made in one (or a combination) of the following forms:<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Cash or another cash equivalent acceptable to the Company.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•If permitted by the Company, in any other form that is consistent with Applicable Laws, including by delivery (on a form acceptable to the Committee) of an irrevocable direction to a licensed securities broker acceptable to the Company to sell Common Shares and to deliver all or part of the proceeds of such sale to the Company in payment of such Option Price.  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Evidence of Issuance** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The issuance of the Common Shares upon exercise of this Option shall be evidenced in such a manner as the Company, in its discretion, deems appropriate, including, without limitation, by (i) book-entry registration or (ii) issuance of one or more share certificates. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Withholding Taxes** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You agree as a condition of this Agreement that you will make acceptable arrangements to pay any withholding or other taxes that may be due as a result of the Option exercise or the sale of Common Shares acquired under this Option. In the event that the Company or any Affiliate, as applicable, determines that any federal, state, local, or foreign tax or withholding payment  |

---

------

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;is required relating to the exercise of this Option or the sale of Common Shares arising from this Option, the Company or any Affiliate shall have the right to require you to tender a cash payment, or in the Committee's discretion, to (i) withhold from the Common Shares to be issued to you a number of Common Shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date the withholding is effected) that would satisfy the withholding amount due or (ii) require transfer of the Common Shares owned with an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date the withholding is effected) that would satisfy the withholding amount due, provided that any Common Shares withheld will have an aggregate Fair Market Value not exceeding the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by Applicable Laws; provided, however, for so long as Accounting Standards Update 2016-09 or a similar rule remains in effect, the Committee has full discretion to choose, or to allow you to elect, to withhold a number of Common Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value that is greater than the applicable minimum required statutory withholding obligation provided that any Common Shares withheld will have an aggregate Fair Market Value not exceeding the maximum amount of tax required to be withheld by Applicable Laws.<br>You agree that the Company or any Affiliate shall be entitled to use whatever method it may deem appropriate to recover such taxes. You further agree that the Company or any Affiliate may, as it reasonably considers necessary, amend or vary this Agreement to facilitate such recovery of taxes. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Transferability** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During your lifetime, only you (or, in the event of your legal incapacity or incompetency, your guardian or legal representative) may exercise the Option. Your Option may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise encumbered, whether by operation of law or otherwise, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. If you attempt to do anything other than as expressly permitted by this Agreement, you will immediately and automatically forfeit your Option. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Retention Rights** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Agreement and the Option evidenced hereby do not give you the right to expectation of employment or other Service by, or to continue in the employment or other Service of, the Company or any Affiliate. Unless otherwise specified in a written employment or other written compensatory agreement between you and the Company or an Affiliate, the Company or any Affiliate, as applicable, reserves the right to terminate your employment or other Service relationship with the Company or an Affiliate at any time and for any reason. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Shareholder Rights** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You have no rights as a shareholder with respect to the Option unless and until the Common Shares underlying the Option have been issued to you upon exercise and either a certificate evidencing your Common Shares has been issued or an appropriate entry has been made on the Company's books. No adjustments to your Common Shares shall be made for dividends, distributions, or other rights on or with respect to the Common Shares generally if the applicable record date for any such dividend, distribution, or right occurs  |

---

------

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;before your certificate is issued (or an appropriate book entry is made), except as described in the Plan. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Change of Control** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Your Option shall be subject to the terms of any applicable agreement relating to a Change in Control in the event the Company is subject to a Change in Control. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Clawback** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Option is subject to mandatory repayment by you to the Company in the circumstances specified in the Plan, including to the extent you are or in the future become subject to any Company "clawback" or recoupment policy or Applicable Laws that require the repayment by you to the Company of compensation paid by the Company to you in the event that you fail to comply with, or violate, the terms or requirements of such policy or Applicable Laws. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Applicable Law** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**The Plan** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The text of the Plan is incorporated into this Agreement by reference. <br>***Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in the Plan and have the meaning set forth in the Plan.***<br>This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding this Option. Any prior agreements, commitments, or negotiations concerning this Option are superseded, except that any written employment, consulting, confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation, and/or severance agreement between you and the Company or an Affiliate, as applicable, shall supersede this Agreement with respect to its subject matter. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Data Privacy** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As a condition of the grant of the Option, you consent to the collection, use, and transfer of personal data as described in this paragraph. You understand that the Company and its Affiliates hold certain personal information about you, including your name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number or equivalent, salary, nationality, job title, ownership interests or directorships held in the Company or its Affiliates, and details of all equity awards or other entitlements to Common Shares awarded, cancelled, exercised, vested or unvested ("**Data**"). You further understand that the Company and its Affiliates will transfer Data amongst themselves as necessary for the purposes of implementation, administration, and management of your participation in the Plan, and that the Company and any of its Affiliates may each further transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration, and management of the Plan. You understand that these recipients may be located in the European Economic Area or elsewhere, such as the United States. You authorize them to receive, possess, use, retain, and transfer such Data as may be required for the administration of the Plan or the subsequent holding of Common Shares on your behalf, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering, and managing your participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer to a broker or other third party with whom you may elect to deposit any Shares  |

|  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;acquired under the Plan. You understand that you may, at any time, view such Data or require any necessary amendments to the Data. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Consent to Electronic Delivery** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You agree, by accepting the Option, to receive documents related to the Option by electronic delivery (including e-mail or reference to a website or other URL) and, if requested, agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company, and your consent shall remain in effect throughout your term of Service and thereafter until you withdraw such consent in writing to the Company. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Code Section 409A** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The grant of the Option under this Agreement is intended to be exempt from Code Section 409A ("**Section 409A**"), and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted and administered to be in compliance with Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Agreement, none of the Company, its Affiliates, the Board, or the Committee will have any obligation to take any action to prevent the assessment of any excise tax or penalty on you under Section 409A, and none of the Company, its Affiliates, the Board, or the Committee will have any liability to you for such tax or penalty.  |

I, Robert Barrow, certify that:
